How to create Custom GPTs and Actions with ChatGPT

When I started creating custom GPTs for various tasks, one of the areas that I always needed help was the actions, because they were more code-intensive to configure. When the actions option first came out, there weren’t any visual UI alternatives. You had to configure the schema and auth, which wasn’t as fun.

This is why, in this new nano course I’ve shared a few tips that can make building a custom GPT and actions super easy (pssst… using Zapier AI Actions is incredible), while allowing for enhanced capabilities.

Here is a little snippet of the course and a reminder that all of my nano courses are FREE on LinkedIn Learning:
