What you will make
A practical ChatGPT guide to bound a request that uses connected sources. Use the sample input and prompt, then check the result. Use a fictional small-office IT team as the practice setting. Keep the approved facts in a clearly labeled source block.
Prepare the source and scope
Confirm the relevant plugin is connected and choose the specific project, folder or date range. Have a small manual excerpt ready as a fallback. Open the ChatGPT app or website and start a focused conversation for this exercise.
Try this prompt
In ChatGPT, provide the prepared input, then send the following request. For real work, replace fictional details with approved facts.
Use only the named project plan and updates from this week to draft an internal status note. List the material actually read and flag inaccessible sources.Review the result
Check the source list and compare one reported update with its original record. Record each correction and its supporting source.
If the answer is wrong or incomplete
A connected account does not imply unlimited access. Resolve missing permissions through the normal source owner rather than guessing. For recurring work, keep the active source list with the project brief; for a one-off task, supply just the relevant excerpt.
Practice and completion check
Repeat with one incomplete input. Check the answer against the review criteria, remove unsupported claims and save the prompt with its source version. This workflow has not been verified in a customer deployment.
