Connect ChatGPT

Manage your store locator by chatting with ChatGPT. Add locations, tag them, restyle the widget and get your embed code.

What you can do

Connect your locator to ChatGPT once, and manage it by describing what you want. Add locations, tag them, group and style those tags into labelled filters, put booking buttons on them, restyle the widget and get your embed code from a conversation, against your real data. ChatGPT picks the right locator tool from what you ask and reports back what changed.

The connection covers the one locator on the account you sign in with, and disconnecting removes access without touching anything you built.

Connect

Handled Locator is published in ChatGPT's plugin directory, so there is no developer mode to turn on and no address to paste.

  1. Open the Handled Locator plugin in ChatGPT, or open Plugins in ChatGPT's sidebar and search for Handled Locator.
  2. Select Install plugin.
  3. Sign in with your Handled Locator account when ChatGPT sends you to the login page.
  4. Approve the connection. The locator tools are now available in new conversations.

Every tool it exposes is listed on the MCP server reference.

A free trial account can connect on day one.

What to say

The same plain requests that work in Claude work here, and each of these has been run word for word against a live locator:

  • "What locations do I have in my store locator?"
  • "Add a new location: Riverside Coffee Uptown, 2800 Routh St, Dallas TX 75201"
  • "Add the Flagship tag to my Dallas locations"
  • "Add a Book a table button linking to our booking page on all my Dallas locations, in #C2540E"
  • "Put the Service center tag in a Store type group, make it orange, with the wrench icon"
  • "Hide every location tagged Coming soon"
  • "Change the accent colour to a deep green and show me what would change before you apply it"
  • "Show a banner across Minnesota saying we open Sundays in December, and take it down on the 31st"
  • "Give me an embed code for the mattress page that shows only stockists tagged Mattresses"
  • "Give me the embed code for my locator"

Permissions and safety

Restyling your live widget is two-step by design: ChatGPT prepares the change, shows the exact differences, and applies nothing until you agree in the conversation. Every configuration version is kept and restorable, and deleted locations stay recoverable from the dashboard.

Disconnect

Disconnect Handled Locator in ChatGPT's settings. Your data stays put, and reconnecting later picks up exactly where you left off.
