# Build Gamma presentations from ChatGPT with Zapier MCP

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to trigger the AI-powered deck builder Gamma—without ever leaving your ChatGPT window.

[ChatGPT](https://zapier.com/apps/chatgpt/integrations) knows how you think and work. That rich conversation history you've built with it noticeably improves its output. But if you're using it to create data-backed presentation copy, then switching to [Gamma](https://zapier.com/apps/gamma/integrations) to plug that copy into polished slides, there's a smoother solution.

It's called [Zapier MCP](https://zapier.com/blog/zapier-mcp-guide/)—our built-in tool that lets your AI assistants carry out actions for you. When you equip ChatGPT with Zapier MCP, you unlock access to more than 30,000 actions from Zapier's [secure](https://zapier.com/security-compliance) integration library—which means you can create Gamma decks without ever leaving your ChatGPT window. To learn how, keep reading.

## How to create Gamma presentations with Zapier MCP

In this tutorial, I'm using ChatGPT, but you can also build a Zapier MCP-powered AI assistant with other platforms, like Claude and Cursor.

### Step 1: Set up your Zapier MCP server in ChatGPT

1. Log in to Zapier and head to the [Zapier MCP dashboard](https://mcp.zapier.com/).
2. Click **+New MCP Server** and choose **ChatGPT** as the client.
3. At the top of the window, click **Connect**. After reading the message about developer mode, click **I Understand** to reveal the instructions for connecting ChatGPT. Then click **Copy URL**.

4. Depending on which ChatGPT plan you're on, follow the correct set of instructions below the _Copy URL_ button. (In this process, you'll paste that URL you just copied.)

### Step 2: Enable the necessary Gamma action

1. After you connect Zapier MCP, return to the _Configure_ tab in the Zapier MCP dashboard and click **+ Add tool. **

2. Search for Gamma, and check the _Create Generation_ or _Create From Template_ actions—or both, if you'd like. (Both actions create presentations, but the template option uses an existing template from your Gamma workspace.)

3. Connect your Gamma account when prompted, then click **Add tool(s)**.

### Step 3: Trigger the Gamma action in ChatGPT

1. Start a new conversation in ChatGPT.
2. Prompt ChatGPT using natural-language instructions. For example: `Build an enablement deck based on the attached doc,` `Using these stats, create a presentation from my QBR template in Gamma,` or `Populate a Gamma carousel deck with ideas from this blog post.` Just be sure to provide any necessary attachments, stats, or content.

3. Check your Gamma account for the completed presentation.

## Upgrade ChatGPT's design capabilities with Zapier MCP
