  - I sell access (a one-time use invite link) to a private Telegram channel using the WooCommerce Subscription plugin. By using make.com I was able to successfully automate a WooCommerce order (trigger) that connects to the Telegram bot, which generates a “one-time use invite link” (action: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#chatinvitelink) and sends it back to the WooCommerce order, creating a new “Order Notes” (https://woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/#order-notes). Following that, WooCommerce notifies the customer about the new “Order Note” that has been created in their account.

The content is first researched using prompts, and then the article is written in ChatGPT into sections (e.g. intro, body and conclusion). How would I be automate the process using this app to apply those 13 prompts to ChatGPT before then extracting just the completed intro, body and conclusion text into corresponsing Google Sheet cells for each of the article topics, leaving out the research output from ChatGPT from the Google sheet. 2. What happens with the TaskMagic when ChatGPT 4 reaches the output limit for the hour?
  - Can a Delay step be a variable? For example, a random number between .2 and 10? This could better simulate human behavior.
