Stop jumping between your dashboard and chat. You can now use `track_conversion_purchase` and `track_conversion_signup` to log events directly from your project files or conversation history. Your agent handles the data entry while you focus on the campaign strategy. It eliminates the manual work of updating your referral records after every sale.

Monitor reward performance with Claude Desktop

Get an immediate view of how your program is performing by querying `list_referral_rewards`. You'll see exactly what's being awarded without leaving your chat window. This gives you the raw data you need to adjust your strategy in real-time. Just ask your agent to pull the latest list and analyze the trends.

Validate your API connections

Troubleshoot your integration without opening a terminal. The `check_api_connection` tool verifies your link to the backend instantly. You'll also see your active configurations using `list_webhooks`. It’s the fastest way to confirm your setup is live and ready for traffic.
