Connect Recharge to ChatGPT

Add Recharge to ChatGPT as a custom app and you can check your allowance, get date suggestions and book leave in a chat. It takes a few minutes and you only do it once.

Then ask

You don’t need special syntax. ChatGPT works out which Recharge tool to use.

  • “How many holiday days do I have left this year?”
  • “Do I have any TOIL banked?”
  • “Suggest some good dates for a long weekend.”
  • “Book next Tuesday off for a hospital appointment.”
  • “Is there a clash if I’m off the week of the 12th?”
  • “What’s waiting on me to approve? (managers)”

Good to know

  • It’s your account, nothing more. You sign in with your normal Recharge login and approve a consent screen. ChatGPT gets your permissions, not its own access, and there’s no shared API key.
  • Writes are logged. Anything that books, changes or cancels leave goes into the same audit log as the dashboard.
  • Managers can’t approve their own leave, in chat or anywhere else.
  • Read the full MCP security details.

Custom apps and Developer mode are controlled by OpenAI, and may depend on your ChatGPT plan or on a workspace admin. If you don’t see these options, check with your ChatGPT admin or in OpenAI’s help centre.
