ChatGPT

Connect your Extole programs to ChatGPT and manage referrals with natural language.

ChatGPT supports MCP connections, letting you bring Extole directly into your ChatGPT conversations. Once connected, you can run reports, query program configuration, and make changes -- without opening My.Extole.

Requirements

Every person who wants to use the Extole MCP must complete setup individually.

You'll need:

A ChatGPT plan that supports connectors (Pro, Plus, Team, Business, Enterprise, or Education)
An active Extole user account

Setup

Choose your authentication method. See the MCP authentication guide if you're not sure which to use.

Option 1: OAuth (Recommended)

Step 1: Open connector settings

In ChatGPT, navigate to Settings > Apps & Connectors.

Step 2: Create a new connector

Click Create next to Advanced settings.

Step 3: Configure the connector

Fill in the following fields:

Connector name -- Extole
Description -- Manage Extole referral programs
Server URL:

https://mcp.extole.com

Click Add.

Step 4: Authorize the connection

ChatGPT will redirect you to an Extole authorization page. Review the permissions and click Authorize.

Extole will create an access token linked to your user account.

Step 5: Verify the connection

In a new chat, click the + icon and select the Extole connector to enable it.

Option 2: API Key

Step 1: Get your API key

Generate one at the My.Extole Security Center.

Step 2: Open connector settings

In ChatGPT, navigate to Settings > Apps & Connectors.

Step 3: Create a new connector

Click Create next to Advanced settings.

Step 4: Configure the connector

Connector name -- Extole
Description -- Manage Extole referral programs
Server URL:

https://mcp.extole.com

Step 5: Configure authentication

Set the authentication method to Bearer token and enter your Extole API key.

Step 6: Verify the connection

In a new chat, click the + icon and select the Extole connector.

Using the MCP

Once the connector is enabled in a chat, interact with your Extole programs directly:

"Show me the performance summary for my refer-a-friend program this quarter."

"What are the reward values currently set in my holiday campaign?"

"Increase the friend reward in campaign X to $10."

For write operations, you may be prompted to confirm the action before it proceeds.

Write operations -- Actions that modify programs, rewards, or campaign components execute immediately under your Extole permissions and are recorded in the Extole change log. Review prompts carefully before approving write operations.

Troubleshooting

Connector not showing -- Verify you're on a ChatGPT plan that supports connectors (Pro, Plus, Team, Business, Enterprise, or Education).

"Unauthorized" -- Check that your API key is entered correctly with no extra spaces, or re-authorize via OAuth.
