To start automating your social media copywriting, access Pabbly Connect by opening your browser and searching for ‘Pabbly Connect.’ You will reach the landing page where you can either sign in or sign up for a free account. Signing up takes only two minutes and provides you with 100 free tasks each month.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will direct you to the dashboard where you can create your new workflow to automate tasks. This initial setup is crucial for connecting Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Switchboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect is straightforward. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it according to your objective, such as ‘Automate Copywriting for Social Media Platforms.’ Select the appropriate folder to save your workflow, and then click on ‘Create.’ This sets the stage for your trigger and action steps.

• Name your workflow clearly based on its purpose.
• Select a folder for organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to start building your automation.

Once the workflow is created, you will see two main boxes: Trigger and Action. The Trigger box is where you set up the conditions for your automation, while the Action box defines what happens when the trigger is activated. This is the foundation of your automation process using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The first step in your workflow is to set up a trigger using Google Sheets. Search for Google Sheets in the trigger application section and select it. The trigger event will be ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row,’ which allows the workflow to activate whenever a new row is added or updated in your designated Google Sheet.

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need to copy the webhook URL provided. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Go to your Google Sheet, navigate to Extensions, and select Pabbly Connect VBooks to set up the connection. If you haven’t installed this extension, you can do so from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

4. Generating Ad Copy Content with OpenAI

Once the trigger is set, the next step is to generate ad copy content using OpenAI. In the Action section of your workflow, search for OpenAI and select it. The action event you will choose is ‘Chat GPT.’ This allows you to create engaging and unique content for your ads based on the product details from Google Sheets.

To connect OpenAI with Pabbly Connect, you will need an API token. You can create this token in your OpenAI account under the API keys section. Once you have the token, paste it into the connection field in Pabbly Connect. Then, set up the prompt for generating your ad copy, ensuring to map the necessary product details from the Google Sheets response.

• Select OpenAI as your action application.
• Use ‘Chat GPT’ as the action event.
• Paste your OpenAI API token to connect.

After setting up the action, you will receive the generated content, including the ad copy headline and text, which can be used for your social media posts. This step highlights how Pabbly Connect seamlessly integrates with OpenAI to automate content creation.

5. Creating Ad Images with Switchboard

The final step in the automation process is to create ad images using Switchboard. Add another action step in Pabbly Connect and select Switchboard as your application. Choose ‘Create Image’ as your action event. This allows you to generate a visual representation of your ad copy based on the content created earlier.

To connect Switchboard with Pabbly Connect, you will need to enter your Switchboard API key. Once you have connected, select the template you want to use for your ad images. You can also specify the dimensions and format for the generated images. After setting up all parameters, click on ‘Send Test Request’ to generate the image.

Select Switchboard as your action application. Choose ‘Create Image’ as your action event. Enter your Switchboard API key for connection.

After successfully generating the image, you can store the URL of the image and use it in your social media posts. This process showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in integrating multiple applications to automate the entire workflow from content creation to image generation.
