Hi here! I want to get started with the custom GPT’s custom actions and integrating my own API. Sadly I cannot spin up a working example that is abled to connect to a public API. For instance, I just try to integrate the JSON Placeholder API which just returns a list of ToDo’s at /todos or a given …

I found this topic with a solution: [image] GPTs Bug - User reporting GPT can't talk to Action Huh, i actually solved this In the GUI, it need users to set privacy [image] By default, it is ‘ask’, now I switch to always allow then fixed. well, if u can see this message, maybe u can add this…

We’re developing custom GPT, everything was fine for the past few days but today we’re starting to see this error in the debug "message": "The requested action requires approval", We’re calling our APIs and getting responses but this no longer works. What happened?

same error. An error occurs when sending an action to zapier. Before there was a choice to allow it or not, but now it’s gone. The error only appeared today, never seen before. I noticed that in the privacy settings of custom gpt, the item where permission is required for actions has disappeared. Pe…

We are also getting the error. The API endpoints work when accessing them from anywhere else (Postman, Browser, etc.) Also we noticed, that the “allow this action” button is no longer there.

I guess we need to wait a while. I have encountered errors before and they disappeared on their own after some time. I think the system is currently being updated or undergoing maintenance, as most users are now at night or early in the morning (I mean users from the USA).

I got the same issue starting from this morning, it doesnt ask for the permissions anymore.

Not resolved for me altough the status is set to “resolved”. Still getting the same errors as before resolve. Also reported here: [image] GPTs Bug - User reporting GPT can't talk to Action Plugins / Actions builders Me too! Worked without issue yesterday, but using Always…

also facing the same issue with actions in GPTs. Example action id and operation hash in case it helps the devs debug: “operation_hash”: “962d1273f581aafa8ffeea8978691d7823488e7c” “action_id”: “g-206682c4ba4c6af164c21441141e712810e03cc5”

Even though the issues listed there is marked as “resolved” since 4 hours, the issue with the non-approved actions still appears for me and lot of users at this moment.

Just tested all of my GPT actions, they are all different and still getting the same error. So whatever incident that has been resolved is either not related or taking time to propagate across the system.
