Integrating ChatGPT with Power Apps is a great way to add AI-powered chatbot capabilities to your application. ChatGPT is a natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI that can be used to generate human-like responses to user queries. Power Apps, on the other hand, is a low-code platform that allows you to build custom business applications. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to integrate ChatGPT with Power Apps.
Integrating ChatGPT with Power Apps
Set up a webhook
The first step in integrating ChatGPT with Power Apps is to set up a webhook. A webhook is a way for an external service to send data to your Power App. You can use the webhook to receive chatbot responses from ChatGPT. Here’s how you can set up a webhook:
- Open your Power App and go to the “Data” tab.
- Click on “Custom connectors” and then click on “Create custom connector”.
- Enter a name for your custom connector and select “Webhook” as the connection type.
- Enter the webhook URL that you want to use. This is the URL that ChatGPT will use to send responses to your Power App.
- Save your custom connector.

Create a custom connector
The next step is to create a custom connector to connect to ChatGPT API. This will allow you to send queries to ChatGPT and receive the responses back in your Power App. Here’s how you can create a custom connector:
- Open your Power App and go to the “Data” tab.
- Click on “Custom connectors” and then click on “Create custom connector”.
- Enter a name for your custom connector and select “HTTPS” as the connection type.
- Enter the API URL for ChatGPT. You can find the API URL in the ChatGPT documentation.
- Enter the API key that you obtained from ChatGPT. This key is required to authenticate your requests.
- Save your custom connector.
Configure the custom connector
Once you have created the custom connector, you can configure it to send the queries and receive the responses from ChatGPT. Here’s how you can configure the custom connector:
- Open your custom connector and go to the “Actions” tab.
- Click on “New action” and enter a name for your action.
- Enter the request parameters for your action. These parameters will be used to send queries to ChatGPT.
- Enter the response parameters for your action. These parameters will be used to receive responses from ChatGPT.
- Save your action.

Integrate the custom connector with Power Apps
You can integrate the custom connector with Power Apps by using the Power Apps canvas app or model-driven app. This will allow you to use ChatGPT in your app by creating a chatbot control that is connected to the custom connector. Here’s how you can integrate the custom connector with Power Apps:
- Open your Power App and go to the screen where you want to add the chatbot control.
- Add a “Text input” control to the screen and rename it to “UserInput”.
- Add a “Text label” control to the screen and rename it to “ChatbotResponse”.
- Add a “Button” control to the screen and rename it to “SendButton”.
- Select the “SendButton” control and go to the “OnSelect” property.
- Enter the formula to send the query to ChatGPT. Here’s an example formula:
ClearCollect(ChatbotResponse,
'[your custom connector name]'.[your action name].Run(
{
"input": UserInput.Text
}
).result
)
This is how we can integrate ChatGPT with Power Apps.
