ChatGPT tasks now trigger on Gmail, Slack, and GitHub events
Also new: shareable task templates, agent sign-in for gated sites, and three free-tier tasks — plus Claude Code 2.1.246 exposes its auto-approve rules.

Events, not just clocks
ChatGPT Work scheduled tasks can now be triggered by a webhook — a new Gmail message, a Slack channel update, or GitHub pull-request activity — instead of only a fixed time. It's live for Plus and Pro on web, iOS, and Android, so event-driven agent automations no longer need your own webhook server.
Agents that can sign in
Work tasks can now finish jobs on authenticated sites: the browser surfaces the login screen for you to enter credentials, then carries on through gated flows like appointment booking or form-filling. Previously any sign-in wall stopped the task cold.
Share a task, they bring their own apps
Every consumer tier from Free to Pro can now share a scheduled task. The recipient reviews the instructions, connects their own Gmail, Slack, or GitHub, and gets an independent copy — turning a personal automation into a template you can hand a teammate.
Three tasks on the free tier
Free accounts can now keep up to three active scheduled tasks at daily recurrence — a real bump for anyone automating on ChatGPT without paying for Plus.
Elsewhere: Claude Code 2.1.246
The newest Claude Code adds an Auto mode tab to /permissions for viewing and editing the classifier rules that auto-approve tool calls, and stamps each turn with its completion time — on top of 100-plus fixes across fullscreen, MCP, and plugins.
