You’re about to become 100x more productive… The Zapier ChatGPT plugin provides seamless integration with over 5,000 apps and facilitates task automation directly within ChatGPT.
If you’re interested in saving time and money in your business, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll show you exactly what the Zapier ChatGPT plugin can do for you and your business.
What is the Zapier ChatGPT plugin?
The Zapier ChatGPT plugin allows for the connection and automation of tasks within a huge array of applications (over 5,000 of them), ranging from Gmail and Google Sheets to Slack and many others. This inbuilt automation reduces the steps involved in daily tasks and enhances efficiency.
The plugin is a versatile tool and can help you with hundreds of work tasks. That includes email communication, spreadsheet management, team chats, calendar management, content documentation, and social media.
How can I become more productive with the Zapier ChatGPT plugin?
To get an idea of how you can use the Zapier ChatGPT plugin, here are some of the practical use cases that could save you tonnes of time every single day.
Writing and sending emails
You can ask ChatGPT to draft and send emails via applications like Gmail or Outlook. For instance, you could ask ChatGPT to “Draft an email to [email protected] with the subject ‘Meeting Update’ and body ‘Meeting is rescheduled to 3 PM.'”
Update your team
If you use Slack, you can now quickly update your team without leaving the ChatGPT interface. For example, you could use the following prompt to invite your team to a meeting: “Send a message to the #general channel in Slack saying ‘Meeting at 3 PM’.”
Update and search spreadsheets and databases
The Zapier ChatGPT plugin can save you countless hours searching through databases and finding items within the database. You could use a command like, “Add a new row to the Sales Sheet in Google Sheets with the following data: {data details}.”
Update your calendar
You can easily manage your and your team’s calendar by using prompts such as “Create a new event on my Google Calendar named ‘Project Meeting’ on 25th May from 2 PM to 3 PM.”
Social media posts
Planning and creating social media posts has never been easier. Try using a prompt like this with the Zapier plugin: “Post a tweet with the following content: ‘Check out our latest blog post on AI advancements.’.”
But wait, how does this save me time?
You might be thinking to yourself: “I can already do all of these tasks myself, how does this save me any time?”. The beauty of the Zapier ChatGPT plugin is that you can do all of these tasks using the same interface.
For example, let’s say your three main tasks for today are to: (1) write an article, (2) turn your article into a Twitter thread, and (3) schedule a team meeting to brainstorm future content ideas. Let’s compare the workflow with and without the Zapier ChatGPT plugin.
Workflow without Zapier ChatGPT plugin
- Write an article: You write an article in Google Docs, and upload it to WordPress before publishing the article.
- Turn your article into a Twitter thread: You use ChatGPT to help you summarize your article into a shortened version that is ready to be shared as a thread on Twitter. You copy and paste it into Twitter before sending it out.
- Organizing a brainstorm meeting: You scroll your team’s diaries on Google Calendar to find a time that works for everyone. After inviting everyone to the meeting, you send a message on Slack to your team to inform them what the meeting is about and how they can best prepare for it.
To complete these three tasks, we’ve had to open and navigate 6 separate platforms, and have spent a lot of time copying, pasting, and reformatting.
Workflow with Zapier ChatGPT plugin
You write the following prompt into ChatGPT:
Prompt: Please help me with the following tasks:
1. Write an article and publish it to WordPress
2. Turn the article into an engaging, high-value Twitter thread that entices people to read the full article on my website
3. Plan a team meeting with my colleagues to brainstorm content ideas at a time we are all free. Update the team on Slack to let them know what the meeting is about
With the Zapier ChatGPT plugin, we were able to complete all our tasks for the day without ever leaving the ChatGPT interface.
