What the assistant can do
The assistant gets Cactal’s tools for working on websites, from drafts and publishing to CMS content, images, domains, forms, analytics, and project knowledge. Account administration, such as billing, members, API keys, and deleting or transferring websites, stays in the Cactal dashboard, or on the full-access endpoint for developers.Connect

Choose what the assistant can use
Access starts at All websites. Keep it, or open it to pick organizations and websites (search finds them by name), then select Connect.
Choose what the assistant can use
The assistant can use only what you chose under Access, with no more than your own role; see AI connections. To change it, open Account settings in the Cactal dashboard and select Change access next to the app under Connected apps. The consent screen shows who is asking. Claude and ChatGPT appear as Verified. If an app that calls itself Claude or ChatGPT appears as Unverified, cancel.Approvals
ChatGPT and Claude decide when to ask you before a Cactal tool runs, from your settings in the assistant and the labels Cactal puts on every tool; Cactal adds no approval step of its own. Keep tools marked destructive, such as publishing, set to ask, and before you approve a publish, ask the assistant for the draft preview link and review it. See Agent-safe publishing.What the assistant sees
The assistant, and the company that runs it, sees everything Cactal’s tools return in your conversation. That includes your site’s source and content, and anything you ask about, such as analytics or form submissions, which can contain your visitors’ names, email addresses, and messages. Only ask for what the task needs. Everything the assistant does through the connection is done in your name: Cactal attributes its actions to you, the person who connected it.Disconnect
In the Cactal dashboard, open Account settings and disconnect the app under Connected apps. Disconnecting takes effect immediately: the assistant’s next call fails, even if it already holds an access token. Removing someone from an organization also cuts their connections to it.Next steps
