Talkward × ChatGPT
ChatGPT as a block in every automation
The block “ChatGPT fragen” sends an instruction and the conversation history to ChatGPT and has the answer in seconds: extract inquiries, rate mood and churn risk, draft replies in your brand voice. With “Answer as JSON” the values go straight into contact fields and conditions.
Sound familiar? Three places where automations used to guess.
Conditions check words. Customers write in full sentences, with typos, in other languages and between the lines.
The big inquiry looks like any other.
Quantity, budget and date hide somewhere in the third paragraph. Until someone types them up, the inquiry sits in the inbox for a day.
The anger comes politely.
A regular customer writes kindly, but for the third time about the same thing. No keyword fires, and the team lead finds out after the cancellation.
The reply does not sound like you.
A question in Italian comes in via Instagram. Translating is quick, but the tone of the reply does not fit the brand.
With ChatGPT as a block your automation reads what is meant and decides accordingly. What ChatGPT should do is up to your instruction.
Three automationsChatGPT answers, the flow carries on.
“ChatGPT fragen” does not wait for people. The answer is ready after a few seconds as {{chatgpt.antwort}}, with “Answer as JSON” also field by field, for example {{chatgpt.json.menge}}. Outputs: weiter and fehler.

The other way roundTalkward in ChatGPT.
In ChatGPT you add Talkward as a connector in developer mode. Then ask ChatGPT about your inbox, for example “Who has been waiting for a reply since yesterday?”, and ChatGPT uses the tools of the Talkward MCP server to do it.

Blue: tools that change something. With a “read only” key ChatGPT sends no replies to customers. All about the MCP server
Who asked about the night cream this week and has no answer yet?
talkward · gespraeche_suchen
Three open conversations: Chiara (Instagram, since yesterday), Martin (email, since Monday) and Aylin (web chat, since this morning). All ask about sensitive skin.
Tag them “night cream” and summarise the questions for the knowledge base.
talkward · tags_setzen × 3
Done. Suggestion for the knowledge base: “The night cream is fragrance-free and suits sensitive skin.”
What ChatGPT does in the flow
Four tasks, one instruction each.
You write into the block what ChatGPT should do. Talkward sends the conversation history along.
Extract inquiries
Company, quantity, budget and date as JSON fields, straight into contact fields. A condition like “quantity above 200” routes big inquiries to sales.
Rate mood and risk
ChatGPT rates mood and churn risk. On “high” the automation sets a label, leaves a proposal as a note and notifies the team lead.
Translate and rephrase
A draft in the customer’s language and your brand’s voice, as a note for approval.
Look things up in the inbox
If you allow the Talkward tools, ChatGPT reads other conversations or the contact before answering. Only what the key allows.
How it worksInstruction in, answer straight back.
The block calls the OpenAI API with your own key. The conversation history and the chosen model go along with the instruction, gpt-5 is preset. The answer is ready immediately as {{chatgpt.antwort}}, with “Answer as JSON” also every field on its own. If the call fails, the flow continues at the output fehler.
Your OpenAI key
The key is stored encrypted as an automation secret. OpenAI bills the usage through your account.
Model of your choice
gpt-5 is preset, and you pick another model in the block. Instruction and history go along with every run.
Answer as JSON
Fields like firma, menge or risiko are available on their own, for conditions, contact fields and messages.
Talkward tools if you like

Questions about the ChatGPT integration
Question not listed? Write to us at hey@talkward.app.
What does the ChatGPT add-on cost?
Nothing extra at Talkward, included from Professional. OpenAI bills the usage through your own API key, at your plan there.
Which model does the block use?
gpt-5 is preset, and you can pick another one in the block. Instruction and conversation history go along with every run, and the answer is ready immediately as {{chatgpt.antwort}} for the next blocks.
What does “Answer as JSON” do?
ChatGPT then answers with fields instead of prose. Every field is available on its own, for example {{chatgpt.json.menge}}, for conditions, contact fields or the next message.
What is ChatGPT allowed to do in Talkward?
In the block ChatGPT receives the instruction and history and answers; your next blocks decide what happens with the answer. If you allow the Talkward tools, ChatGPT can only do what the key allows, and “read only” is possible. Everything shows in the conversation.
Where is the data processed?
OpenAI is a provider in the USA. You sign the data processing agreement with OpenAI. Your key is stored encrypted as an automation secret. In brands with “Europe only” the block does not run.
Why ChatGPT when Talkward already has an AI agent?
Talkward’s AI agent answers customers with your knowledge. “ChatGPT fragen” is a tool inside the automation: extract, rate, rephrase, with your own account and model.
