2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, create a new workflow by clicking the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A pop-up window will appear where you can name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it something relevant, like ‘Automate Copywriting for Social Media Platforms’.

• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• You will see two main boxes: Trigger and Action.

In this section, you will set up the trigger, which is the first step that executes in your workflow. Make sure to set up your trigger application as Google Sheets, which will initiate the workflow.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Google Sheets

For setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheet, it will trigger the workflow.

Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect as this URL will connect Google Sheets with your Pabbly workflow. Open your Google Sheet, go to Extensions, and select the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. If you don’t have it installed, you can find it in the Google Workspace Marketplace.

4. Mapping Data in Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

After installing the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on, refresh your Google Sheet. Go to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and choose Initial Setup. Here, paste the Webhook URL you copied earlier. Specify the trigger column where you will input data, which will be sent to Pabbly Connect.

• In this case, set Column C as your trigger column.
• Click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection works.
• Once successful, click on ‘Submit’ to complete the setup.

Now, whenever you add a new product detail in Column C, it will automatically send the data to Pabbly Connect for further processing.

5. Generating Ad Copy with OpenAI

With your trigger set, the next step is to generate ad copy using OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. Add an action step in your workflow and select OpenAI as the application. For the action event, select ‘ChatGPT’. This will allow you to generate engaging ad copy based on the data from Google Sheets.

Connect OpenAI with Pabbly Connect by adding your API token. You can obtain this from your OpenAI account. Once connected, you will need to set up prompts for generating the ad copy. This includes mapping the product title and description from the Google Sheets response into your prompt.

After setting up your prompts, click on ‘Send Test Request’. You will receive a response with the generated ad copy, which you can then use for your social media posts. This integration through Pabbly Connect ensures that your ad copy is automatically generated based on real-time data from your Google Sheet.
