Set up

Add Workato to ChatGPT in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ChatGPT then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Add Workato to Runlayer

    Workato isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect ChatGPT to Runlayer

    Admins publish the Runlayer Plugin and its skill to the whole ChatGPT organization. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Workato’s 108 tools show up in ChatGPT’s own tool list.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Workato

    Sign in the way Workato requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Workato from ChatGPT

    Workato’s approved tools appear in ChatGPT. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

108 Workato tools in ChatGPT

Runlayer policy decides which of these ChatGPT users can call.

  • Get asset URL

    Generate Workato UI URLs for one or more assets (recipe, genie, knowledge_base, skill, blueprint, job, folder, connection, mcp_server, project, data_table, api_endpoint, and ~30 more types).

  • Blueprint apply

    Edit the blueprint working copy held by this chat session: 1 to 100 ops, each {op: 'set', path, value} or {op: 'delete', path}, applied atomically in the order given.

  • Blueprint identify

    Report which blueprint this chat session's working copy holds, by handle, without reading Workato or changing anything.

  • Blueprint init

    Start a new blueprint in this chat session: creates an empty local working copy and nothing on Workato.

  • Blueprint link asset

    Bind a built asset (recipe, skill, genie, or MCP server) to a blueprint's asset map placeholder.

  • Blueprint pull

    Load an existing blueprint from Workato into this chat session's working copy, replacing whatever the session held.

  • Blueprint push

    Save this chat session's blueprint working copy to Workato - the only blueprint tool that writes to the platform.

  • Read blueprint

    Read the blueprint working copy held by this chat session.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in ChatGPT

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ChatGPT exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Workato call from ChatGPT passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, ChatGPT as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Compliance API import (available)

    OpenAI Compliance Logs Platform imports ChatGPT web chats for review.

  • Managed browser extension (available)

    Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ChatGPT yet, so control happens at the gateway.
