Connect OpenAI
Create an OpenAI API key and connect it as QueueWrite’s writing provider.
Updated
QueueWrite uses the writing, research, and optional image accounts you choose. You create an API key with the provider, enter it in QueueWrite, and that provider bills usage on their own pricing. A consumer subscription such as ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro does not necessarily include API usage or API credit. QueueWrite does not resell provider access.
ChatGPT Plus is a consumer product subscription. OpenAI API usage is billed separately through your OpenAI platform account. Having ChatGPT Plus does not automatically mean your API key has credit.
- 1Create an API key with OpenAI
Sign in to your OpenAI account and create an API key from their developer or API settings. Copy the key when it is shown — many providers only display the full key once.
- 2Open QueueWrite Settings
In QueueWrite, open Settings and go to the Providers section. Choose OpenAI.
- 3Paste the key and Test & Save
Paste the API key into the field, then use Test & Save. QueueWrite checks that the connection works before treating it as ready.
- 4Keep the key private
Do not share the key in screenshots, support emails, or chat. If a key is exposed, revoke it in the provider dashboard and create a new one.
In the Direct macOS app, provider credentials are stored in macOS Keychain and used by QueueWrite to talk to the provider you selected. Never email or message your API keys to QueueWrite support.
