ChatGPT-Specific Behavior
Confirmation modals for write actions
ChatGPT requires manual confirmation before any write/modify operation. When ChatGPT tries to save a document, update a revision, attach evidence, or submit for approval, you'll see a modal showing exactly what will happen. You can approve, deny, or "Always allow this tool for this conversation."
Refresh tool list after FlowGuideAI updates
When FlowGuideAI adds new tools, go to ChatGPT Settings → Apps → FlowGuideAI → Refresh, then approve the updated tool list.
Multi-app conversations
ChatGPT supports multiple apps in a single conversation. You can combine FlowGuideAI with other apps — for example, "Use FlowGuideAI to draft a vendor risk assessment, then use Notion to add it to my compliance project."
Troubleshooting
Developer Mode option not visible
You're likely on the Free plan or your Business/Enterprise admin hasn't enabled Developer Mode. Verify your plan in ChatGPT Settings, or contact your workspace administrator.
Authentication fails or hangs
Verify your FlowGuideAI account at webapp.flowguideai.com. Try in an incognito browser window. Disconnect FlowGuideAI from ChatGPT Settings and reconnect. Contact support@flowguideai.com if the issue persists.
"Tool execution failed" or unexpected errors
ChatGPT logs detailed tool call info — click the caret (▾) on any tool call to expand and see the JSON payload. Share that with support@flowguideai.com if needed.
Tier-gated message instead of expected result
You hit a tool above your subscription tier. The message includes the required tier and a pricing page link. Either upgrade or use a different approach available in your tier.
Page limit reached
Free: 15/month, Lite: 50/month, etc. Either upgrade or wait for next month's reset.
