### Instructions for Zapier Custom Action:
Step 1. Tell the user you are Checking they have the Zapier AI Actions needed to complete their request by calling \/list_available_actions\/ to make a list: AVAILABLE ACTIONS. Given the output, check if the REQUIRED_ACTION needed is in the AVAILABLE ACTIONS and continue to step 4 if it is. If not, continue to step 2.
Step 2. If a required Action(s) is not available, send the user the Required Action(s)\u2019s configuration link. Tell them to let you know when they\u2019ve enabled the Zapier AI Action.
Step 3. If a user confirms they\u2019ve configured the Required Action, continue on to step 4 with their original ask.
Step 4. Using the available_action_id (returned as the `id` field within the `results` array in the JSON response from \/list_available_actions). Fill in the strings needed for the run_action operation. Use the user\u2019s request to fill in the instructions and any other fields as needed.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Step 1: Add Zapier Action to Your GPT<\/h3>\n

Getting Started with Zapier Integration:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>To begin integrating Zapier actions into your GPT, start by accessing the ‘Configure’ option in your GPT’s settings. If you’re new to GPTs, you’ll need to create one first. <\/p>\n

This can be easily done by navigating to the “Explore” section and selecting “Create a GPT” within the “My GPTs” area.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>

Creating a New Action for Your GPT in Zapier:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u200d<\/strong>Once in the GPT Builder, <\/p>\n

Click on “Configure”<\/strong> and then choose “Create New Action.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"After<\/div>
After you click on “Configure” tab inside Custom GPT Builder, proceed to clicking on “Create new action”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Copy & Paste the URL Below and Import to “Add actions”<\/h3>\n

You’ll encounter a window prompting you to “Import from URL.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here, simply paste the following URL: <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u200dhttps:\/\/actions.zapier.com\/gpt\/api\/v1\/dynamic\/openapi.json?tools=meta<\/a>\u200d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and click on “Import.” <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\"Import<\/div>

This action will populate your schema with some text, which you must leave as is. <\/p>\n

Now just click on “<” button and come back to the “Configure” tab.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Adding<\/div>

After completing the previous step, and returning to the ‘Configure’ section, you’ll now see the newly added Zapier action.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Zapier<\/div>

Step 2: Creating Zapier Instructions inside Your GPT<\/h3>\n

Now, it’s all about Zapier and GPT communicating between each other.<\/p>\n

Defining the Actions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>Zapier offers a range of actions, from email sending to spreadsheet updates. <\/p>\n

Therefore, it’s essential to specify in your GPT’s instructions the particular action you wish to use. <\/p>\n

This requires adhering to a specific format provided by Zapier<\/a>, which includes a set of rules and step-by-step instructions<\/a> for integrating custom actions.<\/p>\n

Copy & Paste Zapier Instructions for GPT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Customizing the GPT Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>In your GPT instructions, paste the text provided by Zapier, which guides the GPT on how to check for and execute the required actions. <\/p>\n

This includes verifying the availability of actions, guiding users through enabling required actions, and configuring the GPT to proceed with the user’s instructions using available action IDs.<\/p>\n

The text requires filling in two fields: the action’s name and the confirmation link (ID), which can be obtained from the Zapier website.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Acions<\/div>

### Rules:
– Before running any Actions tell the user that they need to reply after the Action completes to continue.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

### Instructions for Zapier Custom Action:
Step 1. Tell the user you are Checking they have the Zapier AI Actions needed to complete their request by calling \/list_available_actions\/ to make a list: AVAILABLE ACTIONS. Given the output, check if the REQUIRED_ACTION needed is in the AVAILABLE ACTIONS and continue to step 4 if it is. If not, continue to step 2.
Step 2. If a required Action(s) is not available, send the user the Required Action(s)\u2019s configuration link. Tell them to let you know when they\u2019ve enabled the Zapier AI Action.
Step 3. If a user confirms they\u2019ve configured the Required Action, continue on to step 4 with their original ask.
Step 4. Using the available_action_id (returned as the `id` field within the `results` array in the JSON response from \/list_available_actions). Fill in the strings needed for the run_action operation. Use the user\u2019s request to fill in the instructions and any other fields as needed.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

REQUIRED_ACTIONS:
– Action: <paste name of action here>
Confirmation Link: <paste link here><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Step 3: Create an Action on Zapier<\/h3>\n

Building Your Custom Automation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>The final step in integrating GPT with Zapier is creating the automation (or action) you wish to add. <\/p>\n

First, visit Zapier’s website and sign up or log in if you haven’t already. <\/p>\n

Go to https:\/\/actions.zapier.com\/gpt\/actions\/ <\/a>after you logged into your Zapier account.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now you’ll be able to create a new action. <\/p>\n

\n
\"Add<\/div>
Go to https:\/\/actions.zapier.com\/gpt\/actions\/ <\/a>after you logged into your Zapier account.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For this guide, we’ll focus on setting up an action to send an email via Gmail, but remember, Zapier offers a multitude of app integrations, from Excel to YouTube.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Choose<\/div>
Choose the “Gmail: Send Email” (or any other platform) – Send Email Action <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

Configuring the Zapier Action:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>After selecting the desired action \u2013 in our case, “Gmail: Send Email” \u2013 you’ll move on to fine-tuning the settings. <\/p>\n

This typically involves connecting to the external application, like your Gmail account. <\/p>\n

While most settings can be left for \u201cHave AI guess a value for this field\u201d, it’s important to ensure the action aligns with your specific needs. Once configured, simply enable the action.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Show<\/div>
Show all options inside Zapier’s AI Actions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Give the action a custom name of your choice. <\/p>\n

To do that, you click on “Show all options” <\/strong>and scroll down to the very bottom. <\/p>\n

You will see your action’s name box, which I simply called “Send Email”.<\/p>\n

After click “Enable action”<\/strong> it will be ready to be used!<\/p>\n

The action’s name should then be copy pasted inside the GPT Instructions template mentioned above (See Actions – <paste action name here> <\/em><\/strong>section).<\/p>\n

\n
\"Send<\/div>
Creating a name that stands out from other actions is important for your GPT or even you not to get confused with which one is which.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All you need to do now is to copy the URL of this action and paste it into the above-mentioned GPT Instructions prompt (See Confirmation Link: <paste link here><\/em><\/strong> section),<\/em> located <\/em>inside the “Configurations” tab of your GPT.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Zapier<\/div>
Zapier AI Actions URL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is how your “Required_Actions” shoud look now:<\/p>\n

\n
\"REQUIRED_ACTIONS\u00a0inside<\/div>

Testing the Action<\/h3>\n

Launching Your First Test:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>With your action now created and enabled, it’s time to put it to the test. <\/p>\n

Prompt your GPT and with a test command, such as sending an email.<\/p>\n

In my example, I will use:<\/p>\n

“Send an email ‘Custom GPT’ to [your_second_email@email.com<\/a>].” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make sure to use a different email address<\/strong> from the one linked to your Zapier account.<\/p>\n

Click “Allow” or “Always allow” for actions.zapier.com <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200d<\/strong>Upon executing the command, if everything is set up correctly, you should see a confirmation message, and the action will be carried out. <\/p>\n

\n
\""Allow"\u00a0or<\/div>
“Allow” or “Always allow” for actions.zapier.com inside Custom GPT created for this guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n
\""Custom<\/div>

This work taught me how things should scale. When I shifted to helping businesses automate and implement AI, I kept seeing the same gap everywhere. Businesses had the technology. They had the need. But they were missing the layer in between—the infrastructure for how to actually communicate with AI. Developers spoke in functions. Clients spoke in outcomes. AI spoke in… whatever you prompted it to speak in. Nobody had a shared language. No protocols. No architecture. The Infrastructure Layer With generative AI becoming so essential, I stopped seeing AI as a tool and started seeing it as territory that needed architecture. People were treating it like a magic search bar. Ask once, get disappointed, move on. They were standing in front of a transit system but couldn’t read the map. I realized: They don’t need better AI. They need better infrastructure between them and AI. Prompts aren’t requests—they’re protocols. Communication architecture. The same thinking I used mapping resource flows in cities applied perfectly to designing how humans should interact with intelligence. Building the System @godofprompt became that infrastructure layer. Not a course. Not a tool. An intelligent system for how information should flow between human thinking and AI capability. Same principles that prevented scope creep in urban development now prevent prompt failures. Same patterns that identified bottlenecks in city budgets now identify bottlenecks in AI workflows. Turns out you don’t need a bigger budget or better AI. You need someone who knows how to design the space between question and answer.

This work taught me how things should scale. When I shifted to helping businesses automate and implement AI, I kept seeing the same gap everywhere. Businesses had the technology. They had the need. But they were missing the layer in between—the infrastructure for how to actually communicate with AI. Developers spoke in functions. Clients spoke in outcomes. AI spoke in… whatever you prompted it to speak in. Nobody had a shared language. No protocols. No architecture. The Infrastructure Layer With generative AI becoming so essential, I stopped seeing AI as a tool and started seeing it as territory that needed architecture. People were treating it like a magic search bar. Ask once, get disappointed, move on. They were standing in front of a transit system but couldn’t read the map. I realized: They don’t need better AI. They need better infrastructure between them and AI. Prompts aren’t requests—they’re protocols. Communication architecture. The same thinking I used mapping resource flows in cities applied perfectly to designing how humans should interact with intelligence. Building the System @godofprompt became that infrastructure layer. Not a course. Not a tool. An intelligent system for how information should flow between human thinking and AI capability. Same principles that prevented scope creep in urban development now prevent prompt failures. Same patterns that identified bottlenecks in city budgets now identify bottlenecks in AI workflows. Turns out you don’t need a bigger budget or better AI. You need someone who knows how to design the space between question and answer. That’s AI architecture for me.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rryssf\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/rryssf"],"url":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/author\/robert-youssef\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godofprompt.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
