1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating content creation, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create an account and receive 100 tasks free every month. Existing users should click on ‘Sign in’ to access their dashboard.

Once logged in, you will see various Pabbly applications. Click on ‘Access Now’ for Pabbly Connect. This will take you to your dashboard where you can create a new workflow for automating content creation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow that automates content creation using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to name your workflow and select a folder to save it in. For example, name it ‘Automate Content Creation from Webhook Data using OpenAI and Add Data in Google Sheets’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow window.
• Select the trigger application as ‘Webhook’.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘Catch Webhook’.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to listen for incoming data from your specified application, which is essential for the automation process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Webhook

After selecting ‘Webhook’ as your trigger application, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a unique Webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect your form application to the workflow.

Open your form application (like Pabbly Form Builder) and navigate to the integration settings. Paste the copied Webhook URL into the designated field and save the changes. This establishes a connection between your form and Pabbly Connect.

• Submit a test entry in your form to capture the response.
• Verify that the data appears in Pabbly Connect under the workflow.

Once the test submission is successful, you can proceed to the next action in your workflow.

4. Generating Content Using OpenAI

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s time to generate content using OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Chat GPT’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Ask Chat GPT’.

To connect your Chat GPT account, you will need to enter your OpenAI API key. If you haven’t created one yet, follow the instructions provided in the UI to generate a new API key from OpenAI. Once you have the key, paste it into Pabbly Connect and save the connection.

Select the AI model (e.g., GPT-4). Map the details from the previous step to create a dynamic prompt.

This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to generate content tailored to the specific details provided by the user in the form.

5. Adding Generated Content to Google Sheets

The final step in your automation is to add the generated content to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application and choose the action event ‘Add New Row’.

Connect your Google Sheets account by signing in with your Google credentials. After connecting, select the appropriate spreadsheet and sheet where you want to store the content. Map the fields (like client name, email, company name, content type, and generated content) from the previous steps to the columns in Google Sheets.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the integration. Check your Google Sheets to confirm that the details have been added correctly.

With this setup, Pabbly Connect ensures that every new content request automatically generates content and updates your Google Sheets, streamlining your content creation process.
