# Common Issues

## Connection issues

<details>

<summary>Claude can't see my data after the flow runs successfully</summary>

This usually means the Coupler.io extension or connector isn't active in your Claude session. Check the following:

* **Claude Desktop**: Go to **Settings > Extensions** and confirm the Coupler.io extension is toggled on.
* **Claude Web**: Open the Connectors menu and verify that Coupler.io shows as connected.
* Start a **new chat** after confirming the connection — existing chats may not pick up a newly activated extension.

If the extension is active but Claude still can't see the data, try re-authenticating by removing and re-adding the access token.

<details>

<summary>MCP connector timeouts or the "Get-dataflow" tool gets stuck</summary>

Intermittent timeouts when Claude calls the `Get-dataflow` tool are a known issue with the MCP connector. This can happen when datasets are large or the connection experiences latency.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you're hitting this frequently, try reducing the amount of data sent to Claude by filtering at the source level in Coupler.io. Sending a focused, smaller dataset is more reliable than sending everything.
{% endhint %}

If the problem persists across multiple sessions, contact Coupler.io support — this may require investigation by the engineering team.

<details>

<summary>Claude Web connector won't connect — no option to authenticate</summary>

Team and Enterprise Claude accounts require **admin permissions** to add a new connector. If you don't see the option to connect or the button is greyed out, ask your workspace admin to complete the connection or grant you admin access.

</details>

## Data issues

<details>

<summary>Claude sees fewer rows than the Coupler.io preview shows</summary>

A mismatch between the Preview in Coupler.io and the data Claude receives can occur when the same identifier (for example, an `ad_id`) appears multiple times, and deduplication logic affects the export differently than the preview.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Don't rely on the Preview tab alone to confirm what Claude will receive. Always check the actual row count in Claude after running the flow. You can also configure a Google Sheet export to verify that the number of rows is the same and to check what's missing.
{% endhint %}

If you notice specific rows are missing, note the relevant IDs and contact Coupler.io support with the data flow details — this type of discrepancy requires engineering investigation.

</details>

## Permission errors

<details>

<summary>"You've reached your destination limit" or AI usage is restricted</summary>

Coupler.io plans have limits on **destination type**. If you're using Claude as a destination and also sending data elsewhere (for example, Google Sheets), you may hit this limit.

To resolve this, either:

* Remove the other destination and use only Claude, or
* Upgrade to a higher Coupler.io plan that supports multiple destination types.

{% hint style="info" %}
Each active data flow counts toward your plan limits. If you created a test flow with a different destination, delete it to free up your destination slot or upgrade to a higher plan.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.coupler.io/destinations/categories/ai/claude/common-issues.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
