File Naming Accuracy Tips
Ensure the Google Sheet filename mentioned in your prompt matches the filename in Google Drive exactly. The ChatGPT Agent relies on specific filenames to locate them via the API.
How to Test the Automation
To test if the agent is working, manually change a price in your Google Sheet to an incorrect value. Run the agent again; if it detects the difference and triggers an alert, your automation is successful.

Pricing Monitoring Workflow Configuration
Target:
ChatGPT
I want you to open the Google sheet titled 'zapia.com price monitoring' via the API using the Google Drive connector. Source to check: https://zapier.com/pricing. Workflow: First, open the Google sheet to read the existing plan prices. Next, visit the provided Zapier pricing URL and compare the latest prices with the data in the sheet. Alert me if there are any changes or if the prices match.
Step by Step
Google Sheets Setup and ChatGPT Agent Integration
- Open Google Sheets and create a new spreadsheet with a specific name, for example: 'zapier.com price monitoring'.
- Enter existing competitor pricing data into columns (e.g., Plan Name and Current Price).
- Open ChatGPT and ensure you are in agent mode by setting 'Agent mode' to enabled.
- In the 'Sources' settings, find the 'Google Drive' option and 'toggle ON' to allow ChatGPT to access your files.
- Grant permission for ChatGPT to read files from your Google Drive account.
- Write a prompt instructing ChatGPT to find that specific Google Sheet file using the Google Drive connector API.
- Provide the exact URL of the competitor's pricing page (e.g., https://zapier.com/pricing) within the prompt.
- Instruct the agent to run the workflow: Read data from Google Sheet -> Visit competitor URL -> Compare prices -> Provide a discrepancy report.
- Click the 'Run' button or send the prompt to start the first task.
- Set a 'Schedule' for the agent to run (e.g., once a week) via ChatGPT automation settings for continuous monitoring.
