What Avalara does in ChatGPT
The Avalara plugin works inside the Avalara Product Portal in your browser to review sales tax transactions, liabilities, exemptions, returns and reports. It is built and maintained by OpenAI, not Avalara, and it works by operating the portal on screen rather than through an Avalara API.
You can ask it to look over recent transactions and flag odd tax calculations, sum up liabilities, exemptions and nexus items that need attention, or update a transaction you pick. It can also run reports and step through filing and payment work.
It needs ChatGPT Desktop or desktop Codex with local browser access, and does not run on web, mobile or cloud tasks. It asks for your clear approval before important actions, and what it can do depends on your Avalara products, setup, role and permissions.
