Hello

 

I have a problem to pass a PDF file to ChatGPT Conversation Action.

Screenshots below.

 

I tried to upload file to ChatGPT and then use it in Conversation action but still doesn’t work.

The files are visible and downloadable for anyone with the link.

What is the problem?

Hi ​@sebad90, just checking in! 👋

Did Troy’s reply help you to figure out what’s causing that “Unable to process request from OpenAI” error? 

Looking forward to hearing from you!
