Authorize the connection
ChatGPT redirects you to the Operata sign-in to authorize the connection. Sign in as your Operata user and approve access. ChatGPT returns to the connector, now connected.Select a group
Pick the group you want to query: ask ChatGPT to runlist_groups, then switch_group. Your OAuth session can reach every group your account is scoped to. See Groups and regions.
Ask ChatGPT a question that uses Operata data
Turn on the Operata connector for the chat, then ask a question that needs Operata data:Using Operata, what percentage of calls had poor audio quality this month?ChatGPT calls the right Operata tool —
traces_query for an aggregate like this, or knowledge for a concept question — and answers from your account.
Result
The Operata connector shows as connected in ChatGPT’s Connectors settings, and a chat with the connector enabled returns a real value from your account. If authorization fails, confirm your Operata role is Admin or User and re-run the OAuth sign-in. See Troubleshooting.Related
