1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Blog Automation

To automate blog generation, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect landing page at Pabbly.com/connect. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create an account; existing users should click on ‘Sign in’.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard displaying various Pabbly applications. Click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to start setting up your automation workflow. This platform allows seamless integration between applications like Google Sheets and Perplexity AI.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. Name it ‘Automate Blog Generation Using Perplexity AI’ and choose a folder to save it, preferably the ‘Automations’ folder.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow window.
• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Row’ or ‘Updated Row’.

This setup is crucial as it defines when the automation will start. As soon as a new row is added to your Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will trigger the workflow to generate content automatically.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect. Copy the webhook URL provided after selecting your trigger. Open your Google Sheets, go to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.

• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets.
• Go back to ‘Extensions’, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and click on ‘Initial Setup’.
• Paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column (usually the last column).

Click ‘Submit’ to complete the setup. This allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new entries in your Google Sheets, triggering the workflow to generate blog content automatically.

4. Integrating Perplexity AI with Pabbly Connect

Now, add Perplexity AI as the action application in your workflow. Search for Perplexity AI after clicking on ‘Add Action Step’ in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Create Chat Completion’ as the action event.

You will need to connect your Perplexity AI account. If this is your first time, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your API key, which you can find in the API section of your Perplexity account settings. Once connected, choose the model and set the role as ‘User’. Map the required fields for content generation, such as target audience and content type.

5. Finalizing Google Sheets Integration in Pabbly Connect

After generating the content with Perplexity AI, you need to send this content back to Google Sheets. Add another action step and select Google Sheets again. This time, choose ‘Update Cell Value’ as the action event.

Connect your Google Sheets account again if required. Specify the range to update, such as cell G2, which will store the generated content. Map the row index dynamically to ensure the content updates in the correct row for each new entry.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the content is correctly added to your Google Sheets. This entire process showcases how Pabbly Connect effectively integrates these applications to automate blog generation, saving time and effort.
