How to Use ChatGPT App Integrations: The Complete Guide

• OpenAI has launched 15+ native app integrations inside ChatGPT, turning the chatbot into a universal remote for daily tasks.
• Users can order food via DoorDash, book rides on Uber, create playlists on Spotify, and design visuals through Canva — all without leaving the chat.
• Setup takes seconds: type the app name in a prompt, or go to Settings > Apps and Connectors to link all accounts at once.
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors now extend the platform to enterprise tools like Atlassian, Slack, Google Drive, and Stripe.
• The feature is currently limited to users in the United States and Canada — Europe and the U.K. are excluded for now.

How to Set Up App Integrations in ChatGPT

There are two ways to connect apps. The fastest: type the name of an app at the start of your prompt — “Spotify, make me a playlist for a road trip” — and ChatGPT walks you through signing in and linking your account. Done in under 30 seconds.

The second method gives you more control. Open ChatGPT, go to Settings, then Apps and Connectors. You’ll see every available integration. Pick the ones you want, sign in to each, and you’re set. This is the better route if you plan to use multiple apps regularly — connect them all at once and never think about it again.

Connecting an app means sharing data with ChatGPT. Spotify gives it access to your playlists and listening history. DoorDash shares your order history. Review permissions carefully before linking. You can disconnect any app at any time from the same Settings menu.

Quick guide:

1. Open ChatGPT and log into your account.
2. Go to Settings > Apps and Connectors.
3. Browse available apps and pick the ones you want.
4. Sign in to each app to link your account.
5. Alternatively, type the app name at the start of any prompt and ChatGPT guides you through linking.
6. To disconnect, go back to Settings > Apps and Connectors and remove the app.

Spotify — Playlists, Podcasts, and Music Discovery

The Spotify integration is one of the most popular. Ask ChatGPT to create a playlist based on a mood, a genre, a specific artist, or even a situation — “songs for cooking Italian food on a Sunday evening” — and it generates a playlist that appears directly in your Spotify app.

It goes beyond playlists. ChatGPT can recommend new artists based on your listening history, suggest podcast episodes on specific topics, and surface audiobooks. It can also perform actions on your behalf: adding songs to your library, removing tracks from playlists, and queuing up albums.

Quick guide:

1. Type “Spotify” at the start of your prompt.
2. Ask for a playlist by mood, genre, artist, or situation.
3. The playlist appears directly in your Spotify app.
4. Ask for new artist or podcast recommendations based on your history.
5. Tell ChatGPT to add or remove songs from your library.
6. Queue up albums or playlists for immediate playback.

DoorDash — Meal Planning and Grocery Shopping

DoorDash launched its ChatGPT integration in December 2025, and it is built around a simple idea: tell ChatGPT what you want to eat, and it handles the rest. Ask for a weekly meal plan, and ChatGPT generates one. Then it adds every ingredient to your DoorDash grocery cart — from participating retailers like Kroger, Safeway, Fairway Market, and Wegmans. Review the cart, check out, and groceries arrive at your door.

This is currently available only in the United States with participating grocery retailers. It does not yet support restaurant delivery through the ChatGPT integration.

Quick guide:

1. Type “DoorDash” in your prompt.
2. Ask ChatGPT to generate a meal plan — e.g., “plan 5 dinners for a family of four.”
3. ChatGPT lists all ingredients and adds them to your DoorDash grocery cart.
4. Review the cart, adjust quantities, and check out.
5. Choose your delivery window and receive groceries at your door.

Uber and Uber Eats — Rides and Restaurant Orders

The Uber integration lets you set up a ride directly inside ChatGPT. Tell it where you’re going, and it shows available ride options — UberX, UberXL, Comfort, and Black. You finalize the request and payment in the Uber app. This is particularly useful when you’re in an unfamiliar city and want to quickly compare ride options without switching apps.

There are limitations. It only supports on-demand rides — no advance booking. And it’s U.S.-only for now. There’s also a separate Uber Eats integration that lets you browse local restaurants and menus within ChatGPT, then complete the order in the Uber Eats app.

Quick guide:

1. Type “Uber” in your prompt — e.g., “find me a ride from Times Square to JFK.”
2. Compare ride options (UberX, UberXL, Comfort, Black) and prices in the chat.
3. Tap to open the Uber app and finalize the ride.
4. For food, type “Uber Eats” to browse local restaurants and menus.
5. Complete the order and payment in the Uber Eats app.

Booking.com and Expedia — Hotel and Flight Search

Two major travel platforms are now inside ChatGPT. Booking.com lets you search for hotels based on destination, dates, budget, and number of travelers. You can get specific — “a hotel in Lisbon with breakfast included, near public transport, under $150 per night” — and ChatGPT returns matching options. When you find one, open the Booking.com listing to reserve.

Expedia covers both hotels and flights. Ask ChatGPT to find round-trip flights to Tokyo in April for two people, and it pulls options without leaving the chat. You can filter by star rating for hotels — “only show 4-star hotels” — and finalize everything on Expedia’s platform.

Quick guide:

1. Type “Booking.com” and describe your trip — destination, dates, budget, number of travelers.
2. Add specifics: “with breakfast included,” “near public transport,” “with a pool.”
3. Browse matching hotels and click through to Booking.com to reserve.
4. For flights, type “Expedia” with your travel details.
5. Filter results by star rating, price, or airline.
6. Click through to Expedia to finalize booking and payment.

Canva and Figma — Design and Visual Tools

Canva in ChatGPT lets you generate visual content from a text prompt. Ask for “a 16:9 slide deck about our Q4 roadmap” or “an Instagram story for a coffee shop grand opening,” and it creates a draft you can refine in Canva. You can specify fonts, color schemes, dimensions, and formats. AI-generated designs are rarely perfect on the first try, but for anyone who dreads starting from a blank canvas, this removes the hardest part.

Figma takes a different angle. It generates diagrams, flowcharts, and product roadmaps from natural language descriptions. Upload a file and ask ChatGPT to build a project roadmap with milestones, deliverables, and deadlines. The output lands in Figma, where your team can iterate.

Quick guide:

1. Type “Canva” and describe what you need — format, colors, fonts, dimensions.
2. ChatGPT generates a draft design you can preview.
3. Click through to Canva to refine and export.
4. For diagrams, type “Figma” — e.g., “create a user onboarding flowchart.”
5. Upload files and ask for product roadmaps with milestones and deadlines.
6. The output lands in Figma for team collaboration.

Target, Zillow, Angi, and Wix — Shopping, Real Estate, Home Services, and Websites

Target launched its integration before Black Friday 2025. Ask ChatGPT for gift ideas — “movie night essentials” or “gifts for a 10-year-old who likes science” — and it builds a curated shopping basket from Target’s inventory. Add items to your cart and choose between same-day Drive Up, in-store pickup, or shipping.

Zillow brings home search into the chat. Describe what you want — price range, number of bedrooms, neighborhood preferences — and ChatGPT returns matching listings with photos, maps, and pricing. Find something interesting, and it guides you into Zillow to schedule a tour or connect with an agent.

Angi handles home improvement. Ask about repair costs, project guidance, or contractor recommendations, then request a quote and get matched with a professional — all inside ChatGPT. Wix, launched in March 2026, lets you create a functional website from a single prompt. Describe what you need, and ChatGPT generates a Wix site you can customize.

Quick guide:

1. Type “Target” and ask for gift ideas or shopping lists — items are added to your Target cart.
2. Choose same-day Drive Up, in-store pickup, or shipping.
3. Type “Zillow” with your criteria — price, bedrooms, neighborhood — to browse listings.
4. Click through to Zillow to schedule tours or connect with agents.
5. Type “Angi” for home repair estimates and contractor matching.
6. Type “Wix” to generate a website from a single prompt — describe layout, features, and style.
7. Existing Wix users can manage scheduling, payments, and SEO through the integration.

Coursera and Quizlet — Learning and Study Tools

Coursera helps you find online courses matched to your skill level. Ask ChatGPT for “an intermediate-level course on Python” and it returns options you can compare by rating, duration, and cost. It also provides summaries of what each course covers, so you can decide before enrolling.

Quizlet turns ChatGPT conversations into study materials. Paste your notes or upload a document, and Quizlet converts them into flashcard sets. There’s also an active practice mode where you can access Quizlet’s library of millions of study sets directly inside ChatGPT.

Quick guide:

1. Type “Coursera” and describe what you want to learn — e.g., “intermediate Python course.”
2. Compare options by rating, duration, and cost.
3. Ask for a summary of what each course covers before enrolling.
4. Type “Quizlet” and paste notes or upload a document.
5. Quizlet converts them into flashcard sets inside ChatGPT.
6. Enter active practice mode to study from Quizlet’s library of millions of sets.

Enterprise and MCP Connectors — Slack, Google, Atlassian, and More

Beyond consumer apps, OpenAI has rolled out MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for enterprise tools. Google Drive and Microsoft apps now support write actions — drafting emails, creating documents and spreadsheets, scheduling meetings. Slack has a two-way integration: a connector that brings Slack context into ChatGPT, and a ChatGPT app for Slack that lets teams interact with the assistant without leaving their workspace.

Atlassian Rovo connects Jira, Confluence, and Compass to ChatGPT — you can create Jira issues, trigger workflows, and pull project context into conversations. Additional MCP connectors from partners include Stripe, Vercel, Monday.com, Semrush, Amplitude, and HubSpot. These connectors are available to ChatGPT Business and Enterprise customers.

Quick guide:

1. Go to Settings > Apps and Connectors (requires ChatGPT Business or Enterprise).
2. Connect Google Drive to draft emails, create docs, and schedule meetings.
3. Connect Slack to bring workspace context into ChatGPT — or install the ChatGPT app in Slack.
4. Connect Atlassian Rovo to access Jira, Confluence, and Compass data.
5. Create Jira issues and trigger workflows directly from ChatGPT.
6. Browse additional MCP connectors: Stripe, Vercel, Monday.com, Semrush, Amplitude, HubSpot, and more.

Privacy, Data Sharing, and What’s Coming Next

Every connected app shares data with ChatGPT. Spotify sends your listening history. Zillow knows your home search criteria. DoorDash shares your grocery orders. OpenAI’s updated privacy policy states that conversations may be used to train future models unless you disable chat history or use temporary chat mode — though even then, data can be stored for up to 30 days for moderation purposes. Review permissions for each app and disconnect anything you’re not actively using.

Availability remains limited. All app integrations are restricted to the United States and Canada. Users in Europe and the United Kingdom are excluded, with no announced timeline for expansion. OpenAI has confirmed that OpenTable, PayPal, and Walmart integrations are coming later in 2026. The Apps SDK is open to developers, which means the list will only grow.

Quick guide to protect your privacy:

1. Review permissions for every app before connecting.
2. Disable chat history or use temporary chat mode to limit data training.
3. Disconnect apps you are not actively using from Settings > Apps and Connectors.
4. Note that OpenAI can store data for up to 30 days even with history disabled.
5. Check back regularly — OpenTable, PayPal, and Walmart are coming later in 2026.
