What is a GPTs Builder Profile?
A Builder Profile in the realm of GPT stores is akin to a developer's signature—it's how your name appears when your customized GPT is displayed to users, indicating "By ***".
This feature not only enhances credibility but also offers a venue for customer inquiries by allowing the display of your website URL.
Take note, the name listed by default is the one associated with your Chat GPT Plus billing.
How to Set Your Developer URL (Domain) in GPTs (Builder Profile Usage)
Setting your developer URL in GPTs involves these crucial steps:
Log in to GPT
Access the Builder Profile Interface
Configure your domain and copy the 'TXT Record'
Add the 'TXT Record' to your DNS
Verify the presentation of your configured developer URL
Ensure you have a web presence beforehand if you haven't set up a website yet.
Log in to GPT
Sign in to your ChatGPT account.
Open the Builder Profile Interface
In the Chat GPT interface, click the user icon at the bottom left corner. Click on 'Plus Settings & Beta' from the settings menu to open the configuration interface, and then select 'Builder Profile' from the bottom left of the screen.
Configure Your Domain and Copy the 'TXT Record'
Click 'Website Select a domain' and opt for 'Verify new domain'. Enter your desired 'developer site URL (domain name)' in the 'Your unverified domains' section and hit 'Verify'.
Ensure to input only the domain name, excluding 'https://'.
Copy the displayed 'TXT Record' for use in subsequent steps.
Add the 'TXT Record' to DNS
Proceed to add the 'TXT Record' to your server's DNS settings.
Log into your Domain management site. For the record type, choose TXT and paste the copied 'TXT Record'.
Verify and Display Your Configured Developer URL
Return to the ChatGPT interface and navigate to the domain management screen as before to click the 'verify button' again.
Upon successful domain verification, a confirmation message will state: "Your domain, '***' has been successfully verified."
Bear in mind, DNS record updates can take several hours up to a full day. If verification fails immediately, it may be due to pending DNS updates.
Lastly, ensure the 'Builder profile' on the website domain name reflects the domain you set and switch the configuration from off to on.
By checking your GPTs, if your domain name shows up after 'By', and links to your website correctly, you've successfully completed the setup.
If the 'TXT Record' is not added to DNS, you'll be greeted with an error message prompting you to confirm the correct setting of your TXT Record. Once the DNS includes the 'TXT Record', you'll see a successful verification message.
Why does a verified domain say 'Unverified domains'? Why can't it be switched to a new domain?
If you continue to see the registered domain as the verified domain and are unable to switch to a new verified domain, try turning off your domain settings and refreshing the browser. This may resolve the issue.
