How to Give Claude an Email Address and Phone Number
You can give Claude its own email address and phone number with one-click connectors. The Carly Email connector gives Claude an inbox, so it can send and receive email and work for you by email on the go. The Carly connector adds a phone number, so it can pick up your missed calls and do what a really good sales rep would do, and it also comes with email, a CRM, booking pages, calendars and integrations. You don't have to be a developer to build your own AI employee: talk to Claude and it walks you through building an agent and how it should behave. The fastest way to start is to ask your AI: "Set me up with Carly." It works with ChatGPT, Meta Muse and Grok Bot too.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
