Anthropic says the incidents affecting Claude's Calendar and Gmail connectors are resolved. The company's report lists when each problem started and ended, and when it sent notices to users. The report was covered by OpenTools on October 28, 2026.

What the connectors do

A connector is a link that lets Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, reach into another service you use. With the Gmail and Calendar connectors, Claude can work with your email and your schedule if you allow it. When a connector has a problem, the assistant may not be able to do those tasks the way you expect.

What is not known

The material does not say how many people were affected. It also does not say what exactly broke. Without that detail, it is hard to tell how serious the problems were or whether your own use was touched.

What to do

  • Check Anthropic's status notes for the start and end times of each incident.
  • Compare those times with any plans or reminders you asked Claude to handle.
  • Double-check anything important from that period, such as a meeting or a message.

If you rely on an AI assistant for email or calendar help, the status page is a quick way to see whether a gap could have affected you.

The takeaway

If Claude reads your Gmail or Calendar, check the incident times against anything important you relied on it for.
