Design & Media

What the HeyGen connector can do

HeyGen uses generative AI to turn text and images into video, including avatars that can move and speak. A type.com Space connected to HeyGen can have Claude expand an avatar group with new looks, add motion to a still photo avatar, or check whether a generation job is finished.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect HeyGen once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting HeyGen

What can Claude do with HeyGen in type.com?

With a HeyGen connection, Claude can manage avatar looks and motion, check generation status, organize folders, and set up knowledge bases, all from a shared type.com thread.

How do I connect HeyGen to type.com?

HeyGen uses an API key for direct API access. An admin adds it once when creating the connection.

Can type.com check HeyGen job status automatically?

Yes. Set up a type.com automation that polls generation status after a job starts and posts to a channel once it's ready.

Is this the same as a HeyGen MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
