Overview
ChatGPT Ads is an advertising platform for running paid campaigns inside ChatGPT. Connecting it to Triple Whale brings your spend, impressions, clicks, and related metrics into the same place as your other marketing channels. This guide walks you through creating your API key and completing the connection. The connection is a direct API link, so you do not need to tag or export data by hand.
Before you begin
You need an ChatGPT Ads Manager account that can create API keys.
You need a Triple Whale account with permission to manage integrations.
At least one active campaign must exist in your ChatGPT Ads account. Without one, the connection cannot be completed.
Warning: Your API key is tied to your ad account. Keep it private and do not share it publicly.
Steps
Step 1: Create your ChatGPT AdsAPI key
Log in to your ChatGPT Ads Manager account
Click Settings in the left navigation
Select General under Settings
Scroll to the API Keys section
Click + Create New Key
Name the key so you can recognize it later, for example "Triple Whale."
Copy the key and store it somewhere secure
Note: The ChatGPT Ads Manager key is separate from the standard OpenAI platform API key. Generate it from ChatGPT Ads Manager.
Step 2: Connect ChatGPT Ads in Triple Whale
Log in to your Triple Whale account
Go to Data, then open Integrations
Search for ChatGPT Ads in the integrations list
Click Connect on the ChatGPT Ads card
Paste your API key into the connection field
Click Save
Verify and expected result
After you save, Triple Whale begins pulling your ChatGPT Ads performance data. The data appears in your dashboard a short time after you connect.
You will then see an ChatGPT Ads widget on your Summary page showing the metrics below.
