Upbuild connector · ChatGPT
Paste one server URL into ChatGPT and ask anything across all your ad and analytics accounts, such as Google Ads, Meta or GA4, in the chat your team already keeps open. Read-only, on your own logins. It needs a paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode switched on.
Live data in the chat
Upbuild has an MCP server as part of its toolset, so ChatGPT calls your platforms itself, across every major ad and analytics platform, such as Google Ads, Meta or GA4. Ask across three of them in one sentence and the numbers come back live, dated today, with the tool that fetched them named in the reply.
Every tool that touches an advertising platform is read-only. Nothing ChatGPT can call will change a budget, a tag, an audience or a campaign.
Sign-in is per person. On your own, you see exactly the accounts your logins already reach, and a colleague on the same connector sees theirs. As a member of an organisation on Upbuild, you also inherit every account your company shares with you. No shared service account, no accounts you were never given.
| Platform | Spend | Conv. | CPA | vs last monthvs prev |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | €128,400 | 3,210 | €40.00 | +4% |
| Meta Ads | €86,900 | 2,470 | €35.18 | +27% |
| TikTok Ads | €31,250 | 640 | €48.83 | -11% |
Meta moved most: two campaigns that launched mid-month carry the rise.
Dashboards, from ChatGPT
Describe the dashboard you want in ChatGPT, and it is built from your live accounts and published to your Upbuild account in the same conversation. From then on it refreshes itself, every 30 minutes, every hour or once a day, at its own link that your team and your stakeholders can open, with no ChatGPT seat and no platform login.
Want another chart, a different market split or a weekly refresh? Say so in ChatGPT and the dashboard updates in place. Every change is saved as a version you can restore.
The link is the deliverable. Share it with named colleagues or your whole organisation, and the numbers people read are today's numbers, not the ones from the day you exported them.
dashboard_createPublished. Monthly Paid Media Review is live on Upbuild and refreshes every hour.
dashboard_updateUpdated. ROAS by market is on the dashboard, now refreshing weekly. Version 2.
Exports and alerts, from ChatGPT
A scheduled export is a job Upbuild runs for you: it collects the data you name from every account you choose, on the schedule you set, and delivers ready-to-use tables to your data warehouse, cloud storage or a spreadsheet. Ask for one in ChatGPT in a sentence, and Upbuild keeps it running whether or not ChatGPT is open. Exports and alerts live in the Upbuild app, so this needs an Upbuild account, not just the connector.
Add a Monday run, pull more history, add a destination or change the time: say so in ChatGPT and the export updates. Every change is saved as a version you can restore.
Tell ChatGPT what to watch, such as any campaign past 80% of its monthly budget, and who to tell. Upbuild checks it every time the data refreshes and sends the warning by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams. It never changes anything in your accounts.
export_createScheduled. Paid media daily runs every morning at 06:00 into your data warehouse, and the history from January 2023 is loading now.
export_updatealert_createDone. The Monday run is added and the budget alert is live, checked on every refresh. Version 2.
Prompts
Written the way a media buyer would ask, not the way an API is queried. Press Copy, paste it into ChatGPT, and swap in your own account names.
Name the platforms, the period and the numbers you care about. ChatGPT fetches each one and lines them up in one table.
Say what you need to send on: a table, a one-page review, three sentences of commentary. ChatGPT does the collecting and the writing.
Change the names, keep the shape.
Setup, end to end
This is the whole procedure, in the order ChatGPT puts it in. The setup guide has the same steps with the dialog rebuilt field by field, plus the second and third logins agencies use, and the connector overview covers what it can reach once it is in. A seat is one assistant connected under one login. Adding Upbuild in both ChatGPT and Claude under the same login takes two seats; connector pricing lists what each plan includes.
In ChatGPT on the web, go to Settings, then Security and login, and switch on Developer mode. This needs a paid plan: Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu. On Business and Enterprise a workspace admin may have to allow custom plugins first.
Go to Settings, then Plugins, and click the plus button next to the plugin search box. Name it Upbuild, leave Connection on Server URL, paste https://connector.upbuild.app/mcp, set Authentication to OAuth, tick the custom-server notice and click Create. Skip the icon.
Click Connect and authorise the Google or Microsoft account that already has access to your platforms. The hub then offers the other platforms, such as Meta or TikTok, with one click each; Adobe Analytics and Adobe Launch take a one-time credential setup of about ten minutes. Open a chat, check Upbuild is on in the tools menu, ask.
If something looks off
Three of them are ChatGPT settings and one of them is platform access. None of them needs a support ticket.
Developer mode is off, the plan is free, or a workspace admin has not allowed custom plugins. Check Settings, then Security and login, in ChatGPT on the web, which is where the switch lives.
Nothing to repair by hand. The next tool call prompts you to sign in again, and changes to what your login can reach are picked up on their own. TikTok is the one platform that asks to be reconnected now and then, by TikTok's own design.
When you use Upbuild on your own, it only shows accounts your logins already reach: get access granted on the platform itself, in Google Ads or in Business Manager, then ask the same question again. As a member of an organisation on Upbuild, you also inherit every account the company shares with you.
Ask ChatGPT to run whoami. It returns the Google or Microsoft identity behind the connection. More answers on the setup page.
