Make prompts deterministic: start with a one-sentence system instruction and 2 brand examples. Use an explicit output schema (JSON) so responses parse predictably. In Zapier add Formatter steps to clean inputs, Filters or Paths to handle bad outputs, and a Zap step that logs raw model replies for debugging. Lower temperature and cap tokens on the ChatGPT step to reduce generic copy.
