I am creating Zaps using the “Conversation in ChatGPT” action.
When setting up I have two options for models, both 3.5 - I want to use v4, and my understanding was that this required me to upgrade my Openai API subscription to paid.
I have done this, and have waited sometime for caches to clear - but I only see the two 3.5 options.
I have a ChaptGPT Plus account, and I have now created a paid API account - is I was expecting to see v4 as a new option in the Zap integration?
Any advice?
Many thanks, Steve.

I notice my API rate limit settings do not list v4 - so I think the issue is at the GPT end and I should contact them, I see this in the account:
Probably Zapier is returning what their API provides, and so I need to talk to them.
HI @stevewalkr,
Same issue here, the solution i think is within Open AI indeed. You have to get on the waitlist for GPT 4 API, and get approved before you can use/see the GPT-4 API within Zapier.
Yes, I had previously tried creating a new API key to try to force a refresh. I have just repeated this, using a new API key as well as refreshing the connection.
Unfortunately no change, I only have the 3.5 options in the list.
I definitely have ChatGPT Plus as well as a Paid API account.

No problem, pretty soon I will start my own channel on Youtube providing full automation tutorials with Chat GPT and Zapier, in helping more people automate there time consuming painful processes.
