Integrating OpenAI with Drupal's ECA (Event Condition Action) module allows for powerful content automation without custom code. This combination can generate summaries for your articles automatically upon saving.

Here's how to set up automatic content summarization:

1. Install and configure the OpenAI and ECA modules for Drupal.

2. Create a new ECA workflow:
- Set the event as "Pre-save content entity"
- Add a condition to check if the summary field is empty
- Create an action to get the body field value
- Use an OpenAI action to generate a summary from the body text
- Set up an action to save the generated summary to the summary field
- Add a final action to display a status message with the new summary

3. Save your workflow and test it by creating or editing an article.

When you save an article with an empty summary field, ECA will automatically trigger the OpenAI integration to generate a summary. This summary is then saved to the article and displayed in a status message.

By leveraging these tools, content editors can focus on writing while leaving repetitive tasks to automation.
