Hello I’m trying to create a GPT that connects to an API with authentication through a bearer token. When I’m adding the token in the authentication section and click on the save button I have an “error saving draft”. ![frddedede](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/3X/5/1/510302f98d1c9bce78c7e9c6ea7c3c848a86743c.png) This error doesn’t happen when I save without the authentication setting. There is no further indication of what the problem might be beside this message. I tried creating a different GPT with the same result. I also tried different mode of authentication, there is the same error. The error is consistent, I tried several times over a few hours with the same result. Any ideas? Thanks ---

Just chiming in to say I get the same error when trying to save a static Bearer token, without any indication of what’s wrong. The “Network” tab in the browser’s dev tools just say “500: Internal Server Error” as well. Hoping it’s just a bug on OpenAI’s side, and that it’ll be fixed soon. I’m also not allowed to configure OAuth as Authentication method, but the reason there seems to be “missmatching root domains” between the API server url and the auth/token urls. Silly error, imo, as these root domains are different by default when using a 3rd party authentication provider instead of hosting my own. ---

I was able to save the static Bearer token after my last reply. Can confirm that worked at least. Able to call my API securely with that. Now they’ll just have to allow configuring OAuth with different root domains, because I can’t update the static token once every hour, of course. Cool stuff regardles. The potential with these custom GPTs, with a knowledge base, and the ease of communicating with an external API securely, is huge! ---

I’m still getting the ‘Error Saving Draft’ error, unfortunately ☹ I set the authentication to API Key, Auth Type = Basic and in the API Key field, I pass the token encoded in Base64. ![autherr](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/3X/f/6/f6672ff5a830e81a8f55c21c5f37e5b97dca4da0.png) ---

Hah, I may have just been lucky yesterday. Tried again now, and getting the “Error saving draft” again… Didn’t do anything special, it just allowed me to save the Bearer token without any errors - and as mentioned, the GPT was able to call my API with that token as well. I guess some instability these early days are to be expected. Looking forward to this working properly! ---

Changing the network type from WiFi to a mobile network on my phone resolved the problem for me. I found this solution in a different topic on this forum.
