Zapier integration with ChatGPT for automated web research

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to use ChatGPT for some automated online research through Zapier. I’ve got a premium ChatGPT account, but I’m struggling to set up the right triggers in Zapier.

Here’s what I want to do: When someone books a call with my team, I’d love for ChatGPT to automatically check out their website and tell us what platform it’s built on. Is there a way to make this happen?

I’ve been messing around with the available triggers, but I can’t seem to get it working. Has anyone managed to set up something similar? Any tips or workarounds would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!

While Zapier doesn’t directly integrate with ChatGPT, there’s a potential solution using the OpenAI API and Webhooks. You’d need to set up a custom script that interfaces with the OpenAI API to analyze websites. This script could be triggered via Zapier when a booking occurs, passing the client’s website URL as a parameter.

The script would then use the OpenAI API to examine the website’s structure and identify the platform. Results could be sent back to Zapier and integrated into your workflow. This approach requires some coding knowledge and familiarity with API usage.

Consider rate limits and costs associated with API calls. Also, ensure you have proper error handling in place for robustness. If you’re not comfortable with coding, collaborating with a developer might be beneficial to set up this system effectively.

I’ve actually implemented something similar for my consulting business, and it’s been a game-changer. While Zapier doesn’t have a direct integration with ChatGPT, I found a workaround using the OpenAI API and Webhooks.

I set up a Zap that triggers when a new booking is made, then uses a Webhook to send the client’s website URL to a custom script I wrote. This script calls the OpenAI API to analyze the website and determine the platform it’s built on. The results are then sent back to Zapier and integrated into our CRM.

It took some trial and error, but the key was getting comfortable with API calls and writing a bit of custom code. If you’re not comfortable coding, it might be worth consulting a developer. Also, be sure to manage rate limiting and error handling for a smoother process.

hey lucasg, i’ve done something similar using webhooks and the openai api. it’s not straightforward but totally doable. you’ll need to write a script that calls the api to analyze websites, then use zapier to trigger it when bookings happen. it’s a bit technical tho, so you might wanna get a dev to help if coding isn’t ur thing. good luck!
