GPT Actions and Automations with Zapier AI Actions

There an option inside of GPTs called actions. If you are building a custom GPT, you’ll find it under the configure tab. These actions will allow GPTs to take real world actions and do more than just answer questions.
I’m going to show you exactly how to set up these actions to automate your GPTs and make them a lot more useful.
If you are new to GPTs, make sure to check out my beginner’s guide to building your own GPT first.
• How To Create Custom G...
I’ll share a very step by step guide, so you can follow along with a numbered list.
Step 1: To create an action, navigate to an existing GPT you are building or create a new one.
Step 2: Click on the configure tab inside the action and go down to click on actions.
To create automation with GPT actions, we are going to use Zapier. Zapier is an automation tools that connects over 6000 apps and can take over 20,000 actions on the web and across those apps.
If you to get some ideas about what you can automate with Zapier, check out this page.
zapier.com/blog/zapier-automa...
Step 3: We are going to import a URL. Zapier has a step by step guide, including this URL, so I will link that here:
actions.zapier.com/docs/platf...
Once you import the URL, it will add some code that we can ignore. What this does is that it gives you available actions, which are to GET actions and to Run those actions. Press save on the bottom.
Step 4: We now need to create actions and we need to do that via Zapier.
Go here: actions.zapier.com/gpt/start
Here, you need to create a Zapier account or sign into one. Then you need to create an action.
In the video, I’ll show you exactly how to create this action.
Step 5: Let’s go to our GPT. We need to give GPT a set of instructions, so it knows how to handle the action we are setting up.
Copy and paste
Rules:
- Before running any Actions tell the user that they need to reply after the Action completes to continue.
Instructions for Zapier Custom Action:
Step 1. Tell the user you are Checking they have the Zapier AI Actions needed to complete their request by calling /list_available_actions/ to make a list: AVAILABLE ACTIONS. Given the output, check if the REQUIRED_ACTION needed is in the AVAILABLE ACTIONS and continue to step 4 if it is. If not, continue to step 2.
Step 2. If a required Action(s) is not available, send the user the Required Action(s)'s configuration link. Tell them to let you know when they've enabled the Zapier AI Action.
Step 3. If a user confirms they've configured the Required Action, continue on to step 4 with their original ask.
Step 4. Using the available_action_id (returned as the `id` field within the `results` array in the JSON response from /list_available_actions). Fill in the strings needed for the run_action operation. Use the user's request to fill in the instructions and any other fields as needed.
REQUIRED_ACTIONS:
- Action:
Confirmation Link:
Step 6: Add action name and confirmation links
We just need to add action and confirmation link for each action.
Action is the name we chose in Zapier. Paste that exactly.
Confirmation link is the URL of that action. You can find it by clicking the action again and you’ll see the URL in your browser.
Once those are added, you are all set. You can now chat with your GPT and get it to perform those actions.

[@MathanAllington]

Thanks for the clear steps. Do you know of a way to trigger an already created custom GPT from the Zapier end i.e. a zap triggers and sends prompt/action in custom GPT?

[@ShaneJohns-kn5qu]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: GPT Actions feature in ChatGPT allows real-world actions beyond answering questions, making GPTs function as AI agents. Setting up GPT Actions involves accessing the Configure tab and clicking on the Actions section. Actions can be configured using a schema or through Zapier, an automation tool connecting various apps. Zapier enables over 20,000 actions across 6,000 apps and can automate GPT Actions effectively. Importing a URL provided by Zapier into the GPT configuration allows integration with Zapier. Creating actions within Zapier involves selecting apps and defining specific actions, such as creating a Google Doc or sending an email. Configuring actions within GPT involves copying text provided by Zapier and pasting it into the GPT configuration tab. Testing GPT Actions involves executing commands within the GPT interface, with potential troubleshooting if issues arise. Made with HARPA AI

[@oliverwidmer77]

[@ogamaniuk]

GPT makers definitely need an easier way to create actions. Instead of dynamically deciding what action to perform, it's more efficient and better from the UX perspective to have all actions listed in the openapi file.

[@user-jq8fk5ty1q]

it's really kindness for newbie

[@emilhopf]

Is there a way to call custom actions/apis that are not included in Zappier?

[@WallyJ2K]

Great video. The limitations within ChatGPT is still a hangup for me. In this case, maybe the hangup is in Zapier, but when I follow a neat example like yours but the fancy new technology has to split the info into two documents, I'm expecting each doc to be 100 pages long, NOT 13 lines of text causing it to have to create a new document. Also, it didn't even name the docs for you. I know this is new, and in beta, but this has a long way to go to truly be useful beyond the "neato" factor.

[@lukemarlowe6930]

It does name the docs for you. And you can write a function/action that uses the 'create doc' action and the 'append to doc' action so that you overcome the limitations of zapier. Just tried this and it worked.

[@n4d2]

[@GiovanniVriens]

Top Video but do you know how to solve ChatGPT OAuth state invalid why trying to connect zapier actions

[@be_shoichi]

I was stuck with this too and found out that you need to "wake up" the AI action by triggering it from the "Preview" panel (NOT the "Create" panel) or the ChatGPT UI, and the authentication will go through.

[@michelleler7577]

Great video! For the automated email sender, I noticed that the formatting of the email is a bit wonky, on my side as well. The text does not span an entire line on the screen but will wrap and automatically go to another line at around 70-80 characters. I hve no idea how to fix that though. I've tried using html tags but that is not parsed as html and is interpreted as plain text anyway, Any tips?

[@alexatedw]

Pro tip, write your own initialization prompts. You have 8k characters. Use them

[@adamb7230]

Can the GPTs do actions in the background? Could you tell it to do this every day at a certain time and never have to go in and initiate the action manually?

[@user-gc1yp2bp9i]

Thank u for all explanation. Would you please answer my question ? How should we put our custom chat bot on our own website ? How can we get API key from that custom chat bot ?

[@yuriamorim]

Thanks a lot for sharing! So now my doubt is: will this work only with custom GPTs that I've build myself? Or is there a workaround to make it work with third parties-made GPTs? Can I for example iterate from an existing GPT, like some kind of a Remix feature? I'm looking into how can I build a Multi-agent collaboration workflow and this seems to be the way, but I've expected that I'd be able to use third parties GPTs as well. Of course I can take the time to create my own GPTs, but that would make the endeavour significantly bigger then it had to be - since there are a lot of great GPTs available already. Would be great to get an answer to this query. Thanks in advance!

[@KhanhHNVu]

Thanks alot!

[@eyeonchina2023]

How do you make the email dynamic so it will take what the gpt user gives it instead of this ecole which is a hard coded team email?

[@agustinhenares1635]

Thanks a lot for your educational content! One doubt... Considering that Zapier platforms uses your own zapier account to set up the actions flow of the GPT... All these GPTs with zapier integration must be for internal use (or business internal use) right? I am interested in creating GPTs for public users, but If I apply Zapier integration to them, only users with Zapier account and the valid setup will be able to use these GPTs, right? Thanks again!

Hey this is a really helpful video. Is there a way for others to use my gpt and log in with their own google or slack account instead of my default account? I want to share my created gpt with my friends but I can't seem to figure this out.

[@TechnShare]

Its an insane upgrade by OpenAI

[@ekrem024]

not sure why when I save text and paste in gpt config. and do all changes with action showing me "Error saving draft" Is that because I do not have zapier upgrade ?

[@romitjethwaney]

It worked! (of course it would). One question is there a way for the output on google doc to be pre-formatted. For example, I generated an ad copy, but when I saw the google doc it was one big paragraph. Any advise? Anyone?

Hi there! Thanks so much for this video. I've been stuck on this error for the past 2 hours :( Any solution you have for this>

[@SynthMindSolutions]

Hey awesome vid! - followed the instructions exactly. However, when I ask it to perform a task via Zappier, apart from the trust allow or deny, it also sends me a link to review and confirm before completing each task. I have to click the link, then click "Run" each time on the Zappier actions page. How do I get around this?

[@SynthMindSolutions]

I think the issue fixed itself, haven't had to do it again in the last hour or so. I'm having trouble with the Create Event on Google Calendar, it seems to be really difficult for the GPT to set up events with a start, end, and repeat feature. It can do it, but after several attempts if at all.

[@Lenovointelpentium]

awesome video. but I don't get it to work. it always comes back with: "Couldn't log in with plugin." Do you guys have a solution for that?

It’s best to export it as a csv file. If you save it as excel file, it slows things down

[@scottgelber6642]

Anyone know where the Zapier plugin for GPT went? literally vanished from my plugins and the plugin store?

My guess is that the plugins starting becoming obsolete as a result of OpenAI’s latest feature, most notably the Assistants API.

Hi, great video’s! What is the benefit of joining the AI Education Platform? Almost all video’s I see there are also in the KZbin channels

[@MihaliIacob]

Great question

[@SkillLeapAI]

Our courses are the value. Not a single course and we have over 14 of them are on KZbin. Those are structured very carefully and they are nothing like a KZbin video. And we release about 4 courses a month that people normally sell for $150-$300 each. And we create dozens of PDFs for members, not available on KZbin. For example, for Midjourney alone, we have a 100 page prompt book, not available anywhere else. And also, I'm the only instructor on KZbin. We have 6 instructors and five of them only making courses and content on Skill Leap. We also review our catalog monthly and make updates since this stuff changes fast. I can't replace a KZbin video, but we can replace any video on our platform.

I just counted our catalog including courses. We have 386 total videos. Only 36 are on KZbin.

I thought Actions were for GPT to actually pull from Databases/Websites. Imagine giving it access to IMDB and asking "I am looking to write a Sci-fi western, got anything I can get started on?" or after inserting your script you can then ask "So with my Manuscript in your database can you provide me a critique using a show on IMDB of similar elements?" It basically then give us "For a Sci-Fi western try finding Joss Wheeden's "Firefly". or "You've borrowed elements from "X" film?"
