Trying to use OpenAI's GPT Assistant (external access) via API in Make.com—anyone got it working?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use a GPT Assistant (created at platform.openai.com/assistants) within Make.com to access external websites like the eletric utility portal and download electricity invoices.

I’ve configured the assistant, however, when I call the assistant via Make, the GPT always replies:
“Sorry, I can’t access websites or perform actions that involve logging into personal accounts.”

So my questions are:

  • Has anyone successfully executed a GPT Assistant via Make.com with the browsertool actually working?

  • Is the browser tool fully available for API-based use (outside the “My GPTs” UI)?

  • Are there any known requirements or eligibility steps to enable real browser access for assistants?

I’d appreciate it if anyone could share real use cases or confirmed limitations.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Make community!

Well that makes sense, because it doesn’t have your credentials, and does not know how to login!

To “login” to websites (filling in forms, and clicking submit), that’s a form of web scraping that you will have to manually set up in Make itself.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
