Troubleshooting & good to know

Almost always an Airtable permission that was granted too narrowly. Go to Connect Airtable, reconnect, and grant your whole workspace with permission to create bases — not a single existing base. Then ask Claude to set up your base again. If the base exists but Claude can't find it, make sure it's still named Pool Service, or tell Claude its exact name.

That's intentional, not a glitch. Every time money moves or an email goes out, Claude shows you the plan and waits for your yes. It will never charge a card or send a message silently.

Open Settings → Capabilities and turn on “Code execution and file creation.” Then go back to Install the skill and upload again. You only do this once.

The free Claude plan allows only one connected tool. Since you'll connect Airtable, Stripe, and maybe Gmail, you need Claude Pro or higher. See Before you start.

One Claude login connects to one Stripe account. For now, use a separate Claude login for each business so their billing stays cleanly apart.

Photos need to be reachable by a web link. A picture pasted straight into chat may not carry through to the record. The visit still saves — Claude will tell you the photo needs adding in Airtable directly, or share the photo as a link and it'll attach.

The skills look things up by name, so a small rename usually just works. But renaming a whole table, or changing the preset options on a field, can break a save. Safest is to leave the structure your setup built in place; if you need a change, tell Claude and let it adjust the structure for you.

That's expected — Gmail is optional. Either connect it, or just copy, text, or print the report or reminder yourself. Nothing is blocked.

The skills flag values that look like a slip (say, a chlorine reading of 15 where 1.5 was meant) rather than storing something wild. Confirm the real number and it'll log it.
