Apps SDK changelog

Latest updates to Apps SDK for building apps in ChatGPT.

February 2026

  • Apps SDK updates for redirects, widget descriptions, and follow-up scrolling

    Fixes & improvements

    • window.openai.openExternal({ href, redirectUrl }) supports redirectUrl: false, which prevents the host from appending ?redirectUrl=... to external links.

    • window.openai.setOpenInAppUrl({ href }) is the supported way to override the fullscreen “Open in ” destination; if you do not call it, ChatGPT keeps opening the widget’s current iframe path.

    • openai/widgetDescription is honored during resource construction and takes precedence over resource.description when present.

    • window.openai.sendFollowUpMessage supports a scrollToBottom parameter; it defaults to true, and you can pass false to opt out.

January 2026

  • Company knowledge compatibility guidance

  • Session metadata for tool calls & requestModal template switching

    Fixes & improvements

    • Tool calls now include _meta["openai/session"], an anonymized conversation id you can use to correlate requests within a ChatGPT session.

    • window.openai.requestModal({ template }) now supports opening a different registered UI template by passing the template URI from registerResource.
