Is it safe to connect an AI assistant to LinkJolt?

Yes, within deliberate limits. The connector uses OAuth so you never hand over an API key, access is scoped to one brand, the approval page lists exactly what the assistant can read and write, and approving payouts is never possible.

Yes, and the limits are deliberate. Connecting Claude or ChatGPT to LinkJolt uses OAuth: you approve access on a LinkJolt page while signed in as the merchant, and the assistant receives its own scoped credential. You never paste an API key into a chat app.

What the assistant gets

  • Access scoped to the brand you approved, on the plan you are on today. Reads require Professional or above; the three write actions (record a conversion, approve or reject a commission, register a coupon) require Ultimate or Scale.
  • The approval page names what it can read (campaigns, affiliates, conversions, coupons, payouts, teams and stats) and lists each write action before you click Approve, so there are no surprises.

What the assistant never gets

  • Any way to pay an affiliate. Sending or approving an affiliate payout is not one of its actions at all. It can read the payout queue for reconciliation, but paying affiliates happens in the dashboard, on the Payouts page.
  • Your password or API keys. The OAuth credential is separate and individually revocable.

Revoking access

Disconnect any time from the AI assistants tab on the Developers page (Set up section of the sidebar), in the Connected right now list, or from the assistant's own connector settings. Access ends on the assistant's next request, and reconnecting requires a fresh approval. A connection also expires on its own after 180 days.

If your plan is downgraded, the connector's permissions shrink with it automatically, because every request re-checks your current plan.
