I have my Anthropic Developer account set up with an API key and billing enabled. I keep trying to connect Anthropic to Zapier but keep getting this message. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hi and welcome to the Community ​@bullseyepc! 😁

There aren’t any workarounds noted at the moment but I’ll be sure to follow up here if I come across any. Let us know if there’s anything else I can help with in the meantime.

Hey ​@bullseyepc, would you mind running the following quick tests to help our engineering team isolate the cause of the issue?

  1. Add a different Anthropic user account to your Zapier account and test if that connection works as expected
  2. Create a brand new connection for the existing account that’s been erroring, by going to My Apps > Add Connection, then reconnect and test again

This'll help us figure out whether the issue is with the connection itself or the account. 🙏


I am getting the same exact message as well when I try and connect my Claude API key to Zapier. I was told that it is currently being worked on.


Could you please add me as well...have same error. Thank you!

Hi there ​@nick_pagliarulo, ​@DoubleDeuce22, ​@Ads, ​@ventures, ​@8blocks and ​@jaydenbowles 👋

Sorry to hear you’re all being affected by this issue too. I’ve made sure that anyone who wasn’t already added to the list by our Support team has been added now. We can't share a timeline on a fix, but you’ll all get an email notification once it's resolved.

@ventures, thanks for sharing that both reconnecting and using a new API key didn’t work. I’ll let our engineers know.

Thanks for everyone’s patience in the meantime 🙏

I am getting the same error.  Please do keep me posted.  Per Claude, the error is because Zapier is trying to use a model that does not exist.  

 

The error is saying Zapier is trying to use a model that doesn't exist.

Check your Zapier Claude integration settings:

  1. In Zapier, find where you're configuring the Claude connection
  2. Look for a "Model" field
  3. Change it to one of these valid models:
    • claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 
    • claude-3-opus-20240229
    • claude-3-haiku-20240307
