To connect OpenAI, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and provide your API key. If you’re logged into your OpenAI account, you can easily generate this key. Once connected, choose the GPT model you wish to use, such as GPT 3.5 or GPT 4 if you have access.

• Provide a detailed prompt to instruct OpenAI on the content to generate.
• Use mapped data from Google Sheets for the article title and image link.
• Ensure to format the content as HTML for proper integration with WordPress.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to receive the generated content. This will include the article text along with the image link, confirming that the content generation is successful.

The final step involves publishing the generated content to your WordPress site using Pabbly Connect. Add WordPress as the next action application and select the action event as ‘Create Post’. Connect your WordPress account by providing the required credentials and the base URL.

Once connected, specify the post title and content by mapping them from the previous OpenAI step. Set the post status to ‘Published’ to ensure that the content goes live immediately. You can also map the slug from the title, which will help in creating a user-friendly URL.

Ensure the WordPress REST API plugin is installed on your site. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the post. Verify the published post on your WordPress site.
