Set up Gmail, Health and Plugin Creator in ChatGPT

Step by step

Run the workflow

1. 01

   Find and install a plugin

   Use this route for Gmail and Plugin Creator. Health has its own tab, covered below.

   • Click here to open ChatGPT (opens in a new tab)

   1. Sign in to ChatGPT and open Plugins in the sidebar. Search for a plugin and review its description, included apps and setup requirements.
   2. Select Install plugin or the install (+) button shown. Complete any Connect, sign-in and permission prompts; these may appear during installation or the first use.
   3. Start a new chat. Type @, find the plugin and select it from the menu, then describe your task. ChatGPT can also choose relevant installed plugins automatically; some interfaces offer + or Plugins in the message box.

   Gmail: find emails and draft replies

   Search your connected Gmail account, summarise threads and draft replies.

   1. While signed in, open Plugins and search for Gmail. Install it if needed, then connect the intended Google account and review the requested permissions.
   2. Start a new chat and select Gmail from the @ menu. Run the first prompt, then the follow-up in the same chat. Review every draft before sending.

   Try these prompts

   Use both in the same chat.

   This asks for a broad search, but does not guarantee every unanswered email will be found.

   @Gmail Find every email I never replied to and rank them by how urgent they are.

   Draft a reply to each one in my tone.

   Health: understand your health records

   Explain lab results, compare changes and prepare questions for your doctor. Rolling out to eligible users in the U.S. on web and iOS; it is not for diagnosis or treatment.

   1. Open Health in the ChatGPT sidebar, under More if needed. Select Connect Health or Get started.
   2. Choose Apple Health, Medical Records or another supported source. Follow the sign-in and permission steps, wait for sync, and review any conditions, medications or family history shown during setup.
   3. Once synced, ask questions anywhere in ChatGPT. Add @Health if your data is not used automatically. Before comparing lab results, confirm records from both checkups are present.

   Try these prompts

   Ask about changes and prepare for a conversation with your doctor.

   What changed in my lab results since my last checkup?

   Help me prepare questions for my next doctor's appointment.

   Plugin Creator: build your own plugin

   Describe what you need in plain English, with no coding. Include reusable instructions (skills), connected apps or both.

   1. Install Plugin Creator from the plugin directory. Or open Plugins and select Add (+) to start a conversation with Plugin Creator.
   2. In a new chat, type @, search for Plugin Creator and select it from the menu. Describe your plugin, answer its questions and refine it. Complete any required app connections and install your plugin if prompted.
   3. Start another new chat, select your new plugin from the @ menu and test it with a familiar task before relying on it.

   Create and refine

   Start simple, then adjust the plugin to fit your workflow.

   @plugin-creator Make me a plugin that turns my meeting notes into next steps.

   Use this example with your Slack and Linear connections and an attached template.

   Create a Project Updates plugin that gathers progress from Slack and Linear and drafts a weekly update with key milestones, blockers, and next steps. Add a skill that uses the attached template to keep updates consistent.

   Select Plugin Creator and the plugin you own from the @ menu. You can also open your plugin in Plugins and choose Edit Plugin.

   Highlighted text in [brackets] = replace with your own.

   @plugin-creator Update [plugin name] to [change].
