Prompting

Say when you want WorkStory data.

Claude decides when to reach for WorkStory—you never name a tool yourself. If it answers from general knowledge, mention WorkStory, or name a person, team, or review cycle.

Too broad “How is Sam doing?”
→
Better “What does WorkStory say about Sam’s last review?”

Data access

Claude sees only what you can see.

⌂

Your company only

Every request is scoped server-side to the signed-in company. No question can reach another company’s data.

◎

Your permissions only

Claude follows the same access rules as the WorkStory web app. Connecting it never widens your access.

✓

Your data stays protected

Claude can look up and summarize the WorkStory information you already have access to. The only action it can take is sending a feedback request—and it always asks you to approve that first.

Feedback and performance-review content is employee personal data. Our privacy policy explains how it is collected, used, stored, and retained.
Control

You stay in charge.

01

Claude can answer questions without interrupting you. It uses only the WorkStory information you already have permission to see. Before it sends a feedback request, Claude shows what will happen and asks you to approve it.

02

Switch it off per conversation. Turning WorkStory off in a chat stops Claude using it there without disconnecting your account.

03

Disconnect whenever you want. Remove WorkStory entirely from Claude’s connector settings at any time.

Troubleshooting

Quick fixes.

Claude isn’t using WorkStory at all.

Check that WorkStory is switched on in that chat’s connector settings. Then name WorkStory—or a specific person or cycle—in your question.

Claude keeps asking me to connect.

Your session expired, or access was revoked in WorkStory. Click Connect and sign in again.

Claude says it can’t find a person or review.

It most likely exists but is not visible to your account. Check your access in the WorkStory web app first.
