1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating your Facebook posts, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration of various applications, including Google Sheets and Chat GPT, which are essential for this tutorial.

After visiting the Pabbly Connect website, you can either sign up for a new account or log in if you are an existing user. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. This will be the foundation for connecting your applications.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate the posting process. Click the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the top right corner of the dashboard. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Automate Facebook Posts with Chat GPT’ and select a folder for organization.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• Select the trigger application, which will be Google Sheets.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

This setup will enable Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new titles added, triggering the automation process.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the Pabbly Webhooks add-on. This will allow Google Sheets to send data to your Pabbly Connect workflow whenever a new row is added or updated.

Follow these steps to set up Google Sheets:

• Open Google Sheets, then click on Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Webhooks’ and install it.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheet and go to Extensions > Pabbly Webhooks > Initial Setup.

Enter the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and select the trigger column (e.g., column B) where you will input new titles. This setup ensures that any new data entered in Google Sheets triggers the automation.

4. Integrating Chat GPT for Content Generation

Next, we will integrate Chat GPT into our Pabbly Connect workflow. This integration will allow the automation to generate content based on the titles provided in Google Sheets. In the action step, select Chat GPT as your action application and choose the event ‘Ask Chat GPT’.

To connect Chat GPT, you will need to enter your API key. Here’s how:

Log in to your Chat GPT account and navigate to the API Keys section. Create a new API key and copy it. Paste the API key into the Pabbly Connect action setup.

After successfully connecting Chat GPT, set up the prompt to generate a one-line caption for your Facebook post using the title from Google Sheets. This step is crucial as it leverages the AI capabilities of Chat GPT to create engaging content.

5. Posting to Facebook and Updating Google Sheets

Finally, we will set up the action to post the generated content to your Facebook page using Pabbly Connect. Choose Facebook Pages as your action application and select the event ‘Create Page Photo Post’.

Connect your Facebook account and select the page where you want to post. Map the fields for the photo URL and the description using the content generated by Chat GPT. This ensures that your Facebook post includes the correct image and caption.

After posting to Facebook, add another action step to update your Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets again and choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event. Map the fields for caption generated and content generated to keep a record of your posts.

This final setup ensures that every time you add a new title in Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect automates the process of generating content and posting it to Facebook, while also updating your records in Google Sheets.
