BetaZapier's ChatGPT Plugin is a beta product. It’s available for use, but still in active development and may change.
The Zapier ChatGPT Plugin allows you to use Zapier AI actions from within ChatGPT.
Note- Plugins are currently available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers only.
- During the beta period, tasks run using the Zapier ChatGPT Plugin will not count toward your Zapier task usage.
What are AI Actions?
AI actions are Zapier actions that can be used by AI apps. You can give AI apps access to more than 30,000 searches and actions supported on Zapier. They allow the app to complete tasks for you, through Zapier's Natural Language Actions API.
AI actions are unrelated to the actions that exist in your Zapier account.
ExampleYou can give an AI tool (such as ChatGPT) the ability to send messages to your sales team in Slack. You can use an AI action alone, or in combination with other actions to complete a task.
Connect ChatGPT to your Zapier account
You must have a Zapier account and a ChatGPT Plus account to use the Zapier ChatGPT plugin.
To get started, you must allow your ChatGPT account to use plugins:
- Log in to your ChatGPT account.
- Click your name on the left sidebar.
- Click Settings.
- In the dialog box, click the Beta features tab.
- Click the Plugins toggle on.
- Click the X on the dialog box to close it.
Once you complete those steps, install the Zapier plugin:
- In a chat window, hover over the GPT-4 model and click Plugins.
- Click the No plugins enabled dropdown box, then click Plugin store.
- A dialog box will open. In the search box, search for Zapier.
- Click Install.
- Log in with your Zapier account.
- Click Allow to authorize OpenAI to connect to your Zapier account.
The AI action settings window will open once the plugin setup is completed. You can also add new AI actions by visiting the saved ChatGPT actions page.
Set up your ChatGPT AI actions
Once you add the Zapier plugin to ChatGPT, you can create AI actions.
- Go to the saved ChatGPT actions page.
- Click Add a new action.
- In the text field, search for the app or action name, and select the action you want to use.
- Select a connection. You can also reconnect or create a new connection.
- If necessary, fill out any required fields. You can let AI guess values based on the content of the message.
- Click Enable action.
The Zapier plugin will only show the required fields for each action during the setup process. To view and use optional fields, click Show all options. Learn more about these options.
Note- Search actions cannot create or update items through AI actions. You can use two separate actions: one to search and another one to create or update.
- Private apps in Zapier are not supported.

To use the Zapier ChatGPT plugin:
- Log into your ChatGPT account.
- In the left sidebar, click + New chat.

ExampleYou can use a Send email action in Gmail to ask ChatGPT to draft and send emails for you:
“Please email Joanne Smith and let them know the analysis that was due Friday is ready for review today.”
ChatGPT will search for the contact and compose an email using your connected accounts. You must review and confirm the email before ChatGPT sends it.

AI Actions must be reviewed and confirmed before they can run. To review an AI action:

- Click Edit if you want to change the content of any fields.
