Step 5: Connect GPT integration

How to connect OpenAI’s GPT to Elovate to enable AI-powered content generation in product, category, and custom page workflows.

Updated over a week ago

Elovate allows you to integrate OpenAI’s GPT technology directly into your Content Enrichment workflows. This enables you to bulk-generate, enhance, or reformat product, category, and custom page content using AI.

Below are the steps to connect your OpenAI account with Elovate.


1. Go to the Integrations Settings in Elovate


2. Create an OpenAI Account (if you don’t have one)

  • Sign up for a free account or log in to your existing account.


3. Set Up Billing in OpenAI

  • Go to Billing in your OpenAI dashboard.

  • Choose Pay As You Go.

  • Add a payment method.

  • A starting deposit of €20 is recommended to test the integration and gauge usage.

Note: If you don’t see the “Pay As You Go” option, you are likely still on OpenAI’s free trial. You’ll only see this option after your free trial credits expire.


4. Generate an OpenAI API Key

  • In the OpenAI dashboard, go to API Keys.

  • Click Create new secret key.

  • Copy this key — you’ll need it for Elovate.


5. Link Your OpenAI API Key in Elovate

  • Return to Elovate’s Integrations page.

  • Paste your API key into the OpenAI token field.

  • Save your changes.


6. You’re Now Ready to Use GPT in Elovate

Once connected, Elovate will automatically use OpenAI’s 4o mini model — the latest and most cost-efficient GPT model.
You can now:

  • Use AI Actions in Content Enrichment lists.

  • Generate new content, extract attributes, or categorize products.


Tips for Using GPT in Elovate

  • Always provide detailed prompts for better AI-generated content.

  • Combine GPT integration with Elovate’s Rule Builder to ensure targeted, high-quality results.

  • Monitor your OpenAI usage in their dashboard to keep costs under control.
