Hello all. First time posting a question and I am not a coder so if you choose to reply, go easy on me. TIA.
I'm trying to troubleshoot why a post is giving me errors when running a test. I keep getting "missing required parameter”
I'm trying to create a zap that converts content from PDFs into an air table that I can evaluate multiple pdf docs quickly. My workflow is to collect a PDF, (attachment and content kept in air table), convert the PDF to text (pdf.co), extract the text from pdf.co (Webhooks by zapier - GET), then post the data as a json.
I am able to successfully set the first three steps up in ZAPIER, (airtable, pdf.co, and webhook - get) however, I keep receiving errors when I go through the test using Webhooks -Post.
I am using ChatGPT to assist with instruction, but is becoming quite infuriating and I have blown several hours trying to troubleshoot this step, making the whole point of automation and saving time quite ironic.
I have set up the URL, payload as JSON, and have broken out data into six points (model, temperature, and 4 messages).
I'm getting conflicting feedback from ChatGPT that it could be this syntax on how I'm setting up messages (ie messages[0].role, and now it is suggesting thatZapier has no Patch or Work around for using API codes with a sk-proj prefix.
So I'm confused as to what the actual origin of the problem is.
Any help would be appreciated
TIA

Hi
For us to have more context, provide more info about these:

Why not use this Zap app?

Thanks for this. As a newbie, I'm not familiar with many of these options and certainly not this one. Although I should be following the logic, I'm not quite following. Are you suggesting the ChatGPT trigger “conversation” well dissect information from a PDF and import into air table based on the data I want to extract and evaluate?

Instead of trying to use a custom API request for Zap step 4, why not use the available ChatGPT/OpenAI Zap app integration and available actions: https://zapier.com/apps/chatgpt/integrations#triggers-and-actions

I see. The thing is, I wanted to parse and map values (i.e. provides scores x/10 based on certain criteria), and it looks like this would just return as block of plain text instead of a JSON structure. Would I just expand this in the "instructions" Field Or should I use something else?

If you use the ChatGPT/OpenAI or Webhook apps to make an API request, then Zapier automatically parses the response, meaning it will not return raw JSON.
If you use a Code step to make the API request, then you can handle the API response however you want.
Why not include the desired JSON structure for ChatGPT/OpenAI to return the data in?
Then you can use a Code step to parse the JSON response.

Right, I hadn't thought of that option. I asked GPT to add to the instruction for the JSON formet and it seems to work. I have a small unrelated issue having it reference the PDF to get reference to, but that's another workflow issue with airtable.
Really appreciate the insights, thank you, Troy!
