Using an API key instead of OAuth
If your organization requires API key authentication, you can configure the integration with a Bearer token. See Authentication for details on creating API keys.Usage
Once connected, ask Claude to create presentations naturally:
- “Use Swoop to create a presentation about quarterly sales results”
- “Make a 10-slide deck explaining our product roadmap with Swoop”
Claude maintains the conversation thread automatically. Follow-up messages in the same conversation build on previous Swoop interactions, so you can iteratively refine your presentation.
