The GPT-Generated Output


After selecting and configuring the desired AI model, incorporate a 'GPT powered by OpenAI' action into your workflow to generate dynamic output aligned with your configured prompts."

  1. Select the Action Type:
    • Pick from predefined options:
      • Analyze Text Sentiment


      • Summarize Text


      • Translate


      • Custom (for your own prompt)


    • If using Custom, enter your own prompt (e.g., "Write a follow-up email based on this message: {{contact.message}}").


  2. Use Dynamic Variables (Optional):
    • Insert dynamic fields like {{contact.first_name}} or {{event.notes}} into your prompt to personalize the output.


  3. Test or Run the Workflow:
    • Once the action is added, you can test the workflow using a contact to see the GPT output in action.


    • The AI output can be used in subsequent workflow steps (e.g., send as an email or SMS).

Please Note: If you are wondering where the output goes, the AI-generated content can be:


1. Stored in Custom Fields.


2. Used directly in Email or SMS steps.


3. Logged internally or sent to a team via Slack/Webhook.
