This streamlines content creation, enhances digital experiences, and offers two automation use cases for translating text and generating image URLs. Below are two distinct ChatGPT automation use cases: - [For translating a specified string into a chosen language upon trigger invocation via the Function Calling action](/docs/developers/automation-hub-guides/chatgpt-use-cases#use-case-1-translate-the-response-using-function-calling-action-based-on-sub-automation). - [For generating an image URL via the DALL-E 3 Image Generator action, which can then be utilized to create an asset in Contentstack](/docs/developers/automation-hub-guides/chatgpt-use-cases#use-case-2-generate-an-image-using-the-dall-e-3-image-generator-action). ## Prerequisites To use the ChatGPT connector, you first need to add your ChatGPT account and authorize it with a valid API Key and Organization ID. ### Generate API Key and Get Organization ID from the OpenAI platform To generate an API Key and Organization ID in your [OpenAI platform account](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys), follow the steps given below: - Log in to your [OpenAI platform account](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys). - Once you log in, you will be navigated to the **API keys** section as shown below. Click the **+ Create new secret** **key **button to generate a new API Key. - On the **Create new secret key** modal, enter a **Name (Optional)** and select the appropriate **Permissions**. Click the** Create secret key** button to generate a new secret key. An API Key gets generated. Copy it to your clipboard and click the **Done **button to close the pop-up. **Note: **Since the API Key is confidential, it is displayed only once. If you do not copy it to your clipboard, you will need to create a new secret key. - We will now see how to get the Organization ID. So from the left navigation panel, click **Settings**, and you will get the **Organization ID**. Copy the organization ID to your clipboard and paste it in the Organization ID field. **Note: **Make sure you save the API Key and Organization ID to your clipboard, as these will be used to [connect your ChatGPT account to Automate](#connect-your-chatgpt-account-to-automate) in the next step. ### Connect your ChatGPT Account to Automate Let’s take a look at how to add your **ChatGPT **account using the Organization ID and API Key generated above. To do so, follow the steps given below: - Click **Configure Action Step** from the left navigation panel. - Click **Action Step** to configure third-party services. - Within the **Configure Action Step**, click the **ChatGPT **connector. - Under **Choose an Action** tab, select any one action from the list. Here we are selecting the Chat action. - On the **Configure Action** page, click the **+ Add New Account **button to add your ChatGPT account. - In the **Authorize **modal, enter a Title. Enter the **API Key **and **Organization ID **retrieved in the [Generate API Key and get Organization ID from the OpenAI Platform](#generate-api-key-and-get-organization-id-from-the-openai-platform) step from your OpenAI platform account. Click the **Authorize **button. Once done, you can go ahead and set up your ChatGPT account. ## Use Case 1: Translate the Response using Function Calling Action based on Sub Automation Let’s see an example to understand the use of the Function Calling and Function Calling Response action. In this use case, we will cover a scenario where, if a user hits a HTTP trigger URL, then a translated response will be shown. Here, we configure the Function Calling action to add different sub automations created in a project. ChatGPT analyses and returns the response based on the most precise sub automation.
