Connect Fluent Forms and OpenAI (ChatGPT)

A form usually ends with a generic thank you. With FlowMattic, Fluent Forms can pass each submission to OpenAI and act on the answer: show a tailored reply on the page, send hot leads to your booking page, screen public posts for abuse or turn an uploaded voice note into text. It suits WordPress site owners who want forms that respond to what people wrote.

When Fluent Forms fires New Form Submission, FlowMattic runs Generate Content in OpenAI (ChatGPT) with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Fluent Forms and OpenAI (ChatGPT) workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Show an AI-written answer as the success message

Generate Content writes a reply from the visitor's own answers and Set Custom Response shows it after they submit, so a quiz or advice form gives a real answer on the spot.

Screen community posts with moderation before you accept them

Create Moderation checks the text against OpenAI's content policy. A Router shows flagged visitors a polite refusal and everyone else a confirmation.

Send high-intent leads straight to your booking page

OpenAI scores the lead from their message and budget. A Router redirects strong leads to your calendar page and others to a resources page.

Generate an image from the form and email it

A visitor describes what they want, Generate Image creates it, and Email (SMTP) sends the result, which works for personalised cards, mock-ups or giveaways.

Transcribe uploaded voice notes into a table

For forms with an audio upload, Create Transcription turns the recording into text and WP Tables stores it next to the entry, so nobody has to listen to each one.

Email the owner when feedback is unhappy

Generate Content labels each feedback entry as positive, neutral or negative. A Filter lets only negative ones through, and the owner gets an email to follow up personally.

Set up: an AI answer as the success message

By the end, visitors who submit your form see a reply OpenAI wrote from their answers.

  1. Connect OpenAI

    Add your OpenAI API key under Connects in FlowMattic. Fluent Forms runs on the same WordPress site, so it needs no connection.

  2. Choose New Form Submission

    Start a workflow with the Fluent Forms New Form Submission trigger, pick the form and submit a test entry.

  3. Write the prompt

    Add Generate Content and write a prompt that includes the visitor's answers, the tone you want and a length limit.

  4. Show the reply

    Add Set Custom Response and map the generated text into it, then test with a real submission and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • OpenAI has no triggers, so every workflow here starts from a Fluent Forms submission, a Schedule or a Webhook.
  • With Set Custom Response and Redirect to Custom URL the visitor waits while OpenAI answers, so keep the prompt short and the steps before them few.
  • Create Translation works on audio and translates it into English. To translate typed text, ask Generate Content to do it.
  • New Payment Submission (Pro) needs Fluent Forms Pro; New Form Submission works on any form.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Fluent Forms and OpenAI (ChatGPT) connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

The form answers back

Set Custom Response and Redirect to Custom URL let the AI's output change what the visitor sees, not only what lands in your inbox.

Your key, your server

FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with your own OpenAI key, so form data goes only to OpenAI and runs are unlimited.

Seven OpenAI actions in one place

Text, images, speech, transcription, translation and moderation are all available, so one form can use whichever the job needs.

Common questions

Can OpenAI write the thank-you message for each submission?

Yes. Pass the answers to Generate Content or Ask Chat GPT, then use Set Custom Response with the generated text. The visitor sees it in place of the usual success message.

Can I stop abusive submissions with OpenAI?

Yes. Create Moderation classifies the text, and a Router or Filter decides what happens next, such as showing a refusal or skipping the steps that publish or email the entry.

Does this work with payment forms?

Yes, with Fluent Forms Pro. New Payment Submission (Pro) starts a workflow when a payment entry comes in, and OpenAI can write a personalised confirmation or onboarding note.

Which OpenAI action should I pick for text?

Generate Content works from a prompt you write and suits replies and summaries. Ask Chat GPT suits question-style prompts. Test both with a real entry and keep the one that reads better.

What happens if OpenAI is slow to respond?

The visitor waits on the form until the step finishes. For long jobs such as images, email the result instead of showing it on the page.
