WhatsApp and ChatGPT Integration ― Autoresponder for WhatsApp Conversations

Transition from Deprecated ChatGPT Integration to ChatGPT Agents

The previous ChatGPT integration is now deprecated and no longer maintained. While your existing setup may still function, it will not receive updates or technical support.

For improved stability, expanded functionality, and ongoing support, we highly recommend migrating to ChatGPT Agents.

Why Switch to ChatGPT Agents?

With ChatGPT Agents, you gain:

• Multiple Custom Assistants – create and manage several AI assistants directly within your OpenAI account.
• Full Control of Settings – configure advanced parameters such as model selection, temperature, and system instructions for each assistant.
• Dedicated Agents for WhatsApp – assign specific assistants to different WhatsApp numbers in your Timelines workspace.
• Advanced Instructions & File Support – reuse prompts from your old GPT setup, define new system instructions, and upload files to enhance performance.

Migration Guide

Follow these steps to move from the old ChatGPT integration to ChatGPT Agents:

1. Get Your OpenAI API Key

• Copy your key from the old integration settings or generate a new one in your OpenAI Dashboard.

2. Add the Key to ChatGPT Agents

3. Create & Configure Your Assistant

💡 Tip: Copy your existing prompt from the old integration and paste it into the System Instructions field. Previous settings (e.g., Top P, Temperature) can also be reapplied.
