How it connects

There's no official Claude connector for Podium yet. Helm connects it using the method that suits your setup, whether that's a secure custom connector we build and host, or an AI agent that works inside Podium with your team's approval. We'll recommend the right one on a 30-minute call.

Looking after your Podium data

Podium holds customer phone numbers, messages and payment records, so Helm keeps Claude away from payment details and messages go to customers only after a person approves them.

Only the access you approve.
Everything stays in your own accounts.
On Claude's business plans, your data isn't used to train AI models.
