Make.com scenarios and the gpt-4o and gpt-4.1 shutdown
Short answer: Make moved scenarios onto gpt-4o-2024-08-06 in February 2026 and onto gpt-4.1 in March 2026 when older OpenAI models were retired. Both of those shut down on 14 January 2027. For the 28 September 2026 shutdown Make did not replace models automatically and said scenarios would stop running, so set a current model in every OpenAI module yourself.

Where the model is set
The model is a setting on each OpenAI (ChatGPT, DALL-E, Whisper) module in a scenario. Make's February 2026
change moved scenarios to gpt-4o-2024-08-06, and its March 2026 change processes old GPT-4 names with
gpt-4.1 even if the old name still shows in the dropdown. A scenario can therefore run on a retiring model while the
module shows something else.
Fix
- In each scenario, use Export Blueprint (the scenario's โฆ menu) to download its JSON.
- Paste the blueprint into the scanner; it lists every model ID by line.
- Open every OpenAI module and choose a current model explicitly, including modules that show an old GPT-4 name.
- Run the scenario once and compare the output.

Watch out
- No Make help article covers 14 January 2027 yet (checked 28 October 2026). Do not count on another automatic switch.
- Make's 28 September 2026 notice suggested gpt-5-mini or gpt-4.1-mini as replacements; both are on the shutdown list (11 December 2026 and 14 January 2027).
