C360 Business Suite Q&A

13 questions
How do I install the C360 connector?
Two credentials: API key + (optional) portal username/password. Connect via /app/credentials/c360. Paste platform.cohesive360.ai/api/mcp into Claude → Settings → Connectors.
Why do I need both an API key and a portal login?
The REST API doesn't expose dashboard summaries, project tasks, contact-scoped views, files, timers, or work requests — those live in the logged-in portal only. The connector emulates the portal session for those reads.
Can I use the connector with only the API key?
Yes. API-key-only mode covers contacts, companies, projects, schema, marketing. Adding portal login unlocks dashboard summary, project leaders, project tasks, files, work requests, and the rest of the portal-rendered surface.
Where do I get a C360 API key?
Settings → API Keys → Create in your C360 tenant. The key inherits the creating user's role.
Can I connect more than one C360 tenant?
Yes — multi-tenant operators connect each tenant separately. Each set of credentials is stored under a tenant identifier you provide.
What CRM capabilities does C360 cover?
9 capability areas, 103 tools: CRM contacts/companies/projects/tasks (full CRUD), project notes, tenant schema, segmentation, Office suite, Forms + Automation, and portal-driven views.
Can Claude create a new project in C360?
Yes — 1.63.0 added create_project_web via the portal flow. The REST API doesn't support project creation but the portal does, and the connector drives it.
Can Claude subscribe a contact to marketing?
Yes — subscribe_to_marketing flips subscription state with confirm-before-commit. Campaign sends still go through C360's Campaigns workflow.
What's a 'World' or 'Circle' and why would I care?
Worlds = Power-up tag taxonomy. Circles = explicit groupings. The connector reads both for cohort queries.
Does Claude verify custom-field schemas before writing?
Yes. Custom-field writes verify against tenant schema first via get_*_meta. Bad picklist values fail loudly with the allowed-values list.
Where are my C360 credentials stored?
AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest; master key in Azure Key Vault; AAD bound to your user ID. The portal password is stored encrypted because the session emulator needs to re-auth on expiry.
What happens when the web-session expires?
4-hour cached portal session. Auto-renews on expiry; stops + surfaces error after two failed renewals in a row.
What's logged when Claude calls a C360 tool?
We log tool name + timestamp + user — never request body or response. C360's own audit trail records the API call as if you made it directly.
