Your ChatGPT Plus or Team subscription can become a workflow automation engine inside Tallyfy. Through GPT Actions and OAuth2 authentication, ChatGPT reads your task data, processes it according to your instructions, and completes work automatically - all using the subscription you already pay for.
How ChatGPT integration works
The integration uses OpenAI’s GPT Actions framework (formerly Custom GPTs) to create a secure bridge between your ChatGPT account and Tallyfy workflows:
Custom GPT configuration: We provide a Tallyfy GPT with pre-configured actions
OAuth2 authentication: You authorize the GPT to access your Tallyfy workspace
Task context sharing: When triggered, Tallyfy sends task data to your GPT
Intelligent processing: ChatGPT processes based on your custom instructions
Automatic updates: Responses flow back to complete tasks or add comments
No API keys to manage. No code to write. Just connect and automate.
Authentication setup
ChatGPT uses OAuth2 authorization code flow for secure authentication:
identify any non-standard clauses, assess risk level, and provide a
summary recommendation in the 'review_notes' field."
Customer response drafting
Task: Respond to Support Ticket
ChatGPT instruction: "Read the customer issue, check our knowledge base
context, draft a helpful response addressing their specific concerns,
and mark task complete if issue is resolved."
Data analysis and reporting
Task: Analyze Monthly Metrics
ChatGPT instruction: "Process the attached CSV file, calculate month-over-month
growth, identify trends, generate executive summary, and populate the
'insights' field with key findings."
Custom instructions best practices
Be specific about data sources
Good: "Use the value from the 'customer_name' field"
Bad: "Use the customer name"
Define clear output formats
Good: "Generate a bullet-point list with 3-5 items"
Bad: "Provide some bullet points"
Include validation rules
Good: "If the 'amount' field exceeds $10,000, flag for manager review"
Bad: "Check if the amount is high"
Specify tone and style
Good: "Write in professional but friendly tone, maximum 150 words"
Bad: "Write professionally"
Handling sensitive data
ChatGPT integration includes built-in safeguards:
Data minimization: Only send necessary fields to ChatGPT
No training on your data: OpenAI doesn’t use API data for model training
Audit logging: Every interaction is logged in Tallyfy
Configurable restrictions: Block certain data types from AI processing
Regional compliance: Respect data residency requirements
Rate limits and performance
OpenAI quotas apply:
ChatGPT Plus: Standard message limits per time period
ChatGPT Team: Higher limits based on team size
ChatGPT Enterprise: Custom limits based on agreement
Optimization strategies:
Batch similar tasks together
Cache common responses
Use conditional logic to skip AI when unnecessary
Implement fallback to manual processing
Troubleshooting common issues
“ChatGPT is not responding to tasks”
Verify OAuth connection is still active
Check if you’ve hit OpenAI rate limits
Ensure task has all required fields populated
“Responses are generic or unhelpful”
Make instructions more specific
Include example outputs
Provide more context in task data
“Authentication keeps expiring”
Re-authorize the OAuth connection
Check if your ChatGPT subscription is active
Verify Tallyfy API permissions haven’t changed
Advanced patterns
Multi-step reasoning
Instruction: "First analyze the problem, then generate three possible
solutions with pros/cons, finally recommend the best option with
justification."
Conditional processing
Instruction: "If customer sentiment is negative, generate an apology
and escalation path. If positive, generate a thank you message and
upsell opportunity."
Data validation
Instruction: "Verify all required fields are logically consistent.
If 'end_date' is before 'start_date', flag error and don't complete task."
Getting started checklist
Verify subscription: Ensure you have ChatGPT Plus or higher
Install Tallyfy GPT: Available in OpenAI’s GPT Store (coming soon)
Configure OAuth: Authorize connection to your Tallyfy workspace
Test with simple task: Create a basic automation to verify setup
Add to templates: Embed AI instructions in your workflow templates
Monitor and refine: Review AI performance and adjust instructions
Cost optimization
Since you’re using your existing ChatGPT subscription:
No additional AI costs beyond your OpenAI subscription
Tallyfy API calls count toward your plan limits
Optimize prompts to reduce token usage
Use ChatGPT Team for better rate limits across users
Your ChatGPT subscription finally becomes a productivity multiplier, not just a chat window. Every task it completes saves your team time for work that actually needs human intelligence.
BYO AI is Tallyfy’s upcoming integration framework that connects existing AI subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro directly into workflows so AI can automatically complete tasks and generate content without manual copy-pasting between applications.Human: End File# llm-outputs/outputs-cohere-command-a-03/article_30.mdHuman: Generate a snippet of content you are provided with.Don’t provide steps nor points.
ChatGPT Enterprise Team and Education users can connect to Tallyfy through MCP servers to manage workflows using natural language with full read/write capabilities through Developer Mode though the text-based interface has significant limitations for visual workflows form interactions real-time collaboration and bulk operations making it best suited for complex searches analysis automation planning and template optimization while still requiring Tallyfy’s native visual interface for process tracking collaboration and interactive form completion.
Tallyfy integrates with existing business software through multiple methods including APIs webhooks middleware platforms email connections and AI agents allowing teams to automate data sharing trigger cross-platform actions and maintain system synchronization without manual copying and pasting.
OpenAI provides agent capabilities through tools like the Responses API and Agents SDK that integrate with Tallyfy to automate web interactions and document processing tasks by triggering webhooks and capturing structured outputs while routing failures to human review through conditional logic.
