ChatGPT + Wahlu

Turn a ChatGPT conversation into scheduled posts.

Wahlu is one place for your social media, and ChatGPT can use it too. Add Wahlu as a custom connection on chatgpt.com, then ask ChatGPT to draft posts, check they're ready and put them on your calendar for review.

    On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.

  2. 2

    Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and select the + button.

  3. 3

    Name it Wahlu, paste https://mcp.wahlu.com/mcp as the MCP server URL and choose OAuth if asked how to authenticate.

  4. 4

    Create the connection and sign in to Wahlu when asked.

  5. 5

Checked against the OpenAI developer docs on 24 September 2026. Menus can change; if a step doesn't match what you see, follow the vendor's current instructions.

Set this up on the ChatGPT website; the desktop apps don't have developer mode. Whether developer mode is available depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings, and a workspace admin may need to allow it.

Sign in and choose what it can do.

Connecting opens a Wahlu sign-in in your browser. You never paste a password or API key into the chat.

  1. 01

    Confirm your account

    Continue as your Wahlu account, or switch to another one.

  2. 02

    Choose a workspace and brands

    The agent only sees the brands you tick.

  3. 03

    Review the permissions

    Every permission starts ticked. Untick any you don't want, such as publishing.

  4. 04

    Disconnect at any time

    Remove the agent at auth.wahlu.com/connections. Your social accounts stay connected.

Give ChatGPT a specific brief

Example prompts and the steps to expect. These are illustrations, not recorded conversations.

Example prompt

“Use the product notes above to draft a week of posts for Instagram and Facebook. Hold every schedule for my review.”

ChatGPT creates a draft for each post and schedules each one at pending_review. Held schedules can't publish until you approve them in Wahlu.

Example prompt

“Which of my connected accounts need attention before I schedule anything?”

ChatGPT calls list_targets and tells you which accounts are ready and which need reconnecting in the Wahlu app.

Images and video

How your media gets to Wahlu.

The hosted connection can't open files on your computer. Give the agent a public link to import, pick from your brand's media library, or attach an image the agent can pass on as data. For video, a public link or your media library is usually easiest.

You stay in control.

Every Wahlu plan includes agent access, through MCP and the API. You choose the workspace, brands and permissions each connection gets, and can disconnect it at any time.

Held until you approve

Agents create schedules at pending_review unless you've told them to publish. A held schedule can't publish until you approve it in the Wahlu calendar.

Publishing is its own permission

Publish to social accounts is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.

Checked before it's scheduled

preflight_draft reports anything that would stop a post, such as media the network won't accept or a caption that's too long, without changing anything.

Some things stay in the app

Queues, general edits to existing drafts, approvals and connecting social accounts happen in the Wahlu app, not through your agent.
