Connect your AI app

It's your AI app that talks to you, not LINKIN. LINKIN's plugin and connector only supply information, so your AI app can configure your profile and price it:

  • our pricing rules, and how a price is built;
  • what you can choose for a profile (alloy, temper, finish, length, tape) and our limits;
  • the prices our system calculates for your profile.

Your AI app (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another) decides how to hold the conversation, what to ask you and which results to show. It can get things wrong, so check what LINKIN issues: only our offer and our order confirmation count, not your AI app's summary.

No account yet? You create it while connecting: LINKIN's sign-in page lets you sign up. We then assign your account to your company in our SAP S/4HANA, so you see your company's profiles, dies and prices. Several colleagues from one company can each have their own account.

Claude

Add LINKIN's plugin to Claude once, then just ask. The plugin gives Claude LINKIN's information; Claude writes the answers. You need a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher) and a computer. About five minutes.

  1. Open Claude on your computer: claude.ai in your browser, or the Claude Desktop app.
  2. On a Pro or Max plan: let Claude create files. Go to Settings › Capabilities and turn on Create and edit files (in some versions it's called Code execution and file creation). The plugin needs it. On a Team or Enterprise plan you won't find this switch: your Owner sets it for everyone, and it's on by default, so skip this step.
  3. Download the plugin: click linkin-cpq-4.1.0.zip. It lands in your Downloads folder. Don't open or unzip it.
  4. Upload it to Claude. Go to Customize › Plugins › Add › Upload plugin, and choose linkin-cpq-4.1.0.zip.
  5. Connect it. Click LINKIN CPQ in your plugins, open its Connectors tab, and click Connect next to linkin-cpq.
  6. Enter LINKIN's client ID. In the window that opens:
    • Authentication: keep Sign in now.
    • OAuth client: choose Use your own OAuth client.
    • OAuth client ID: enter 402sn2rbceqt5r4sjktlekf2vm
    • OAuth client secret (optional): leave it empty.
    • Click Add.
  7. Sign in to LINKIN. LINKIN's sign-in page opens. Its address ends in amazoncognito.com, the service LINKIN's sign-in runs on. If you are asked whether Claude may use it to sign in, click Continue.
    • Sign in with your e-mail and password, or with Google, LinkedIn or Microsoft.
    • New user? Click Create an account on the same page.
  8. Optional: let Claude look up and price without asking. On the Connectors tab, click linkin-cpq:
    • Set these seven to Always allow: Find the customer's documents, Find the profiles, Find a field's values, The customers to order for, Price an inquiry, Price a quotation, Read an issued document.
    • Leave Issue an inquiry, Issue a quotation and Submit a quotation on Needs approval. Claude then asks you before it sends anything to LINKIN.
  9. Ask. Start a new chat and ask for a price or a quote, or attach your drawing or sheet with + › Add files or photos.
Help
  • Safari unzipped the file? In Safari's settings, turn off Open "safe" files after downloading, and download it again.
  • Had an earlier LINKIN plugin? Delete it under Customize › Plugins first.
  • Team or Enterprise: your Owner controls two things under Organization settings › Plugins & skills. On the Policy tab, Cloud code execution and file creation and Skills must be on. To let you upload the plugin yourself (step 4), User-created skills must be on too. Or the Owner uploads the .zip once for everyone (Installed by default), and you start at step 5.
  • Claude Code: claude plugin install linkin-cpq --marketplace linkin-eu/linkin-cpq-claude-plugin, then /mcp › linkin-cpq › sign in.
  • Once LINKIN is in Claude's directory: Customize › Plugins › Discover, search "LINKIN", Add. No download needed.
