1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To schedule Google Business Profile posts, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate tasks between Google Sheets and your Google Business Profile seamlessly. Start by creating a free account on Pabbly Connect.

After logging in, navigate to the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something like ‘Schedule Google Business Profile Post from Google Sheets Using OpenAI’ for easy identification.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up a trigger that initiates the automation process. Select the ‘Schedule’ option in Pabbly Connect. This feature allows you to run your workflow daily at a specific time, ensuring that your posts are scheduled consistently.

• Choose ‘Every Day’ for how often you want the workflow to run.
• Specify the time you want the automation to trigger (e.g., 10:40 AM).

Once you have configured these settings, click ‘Save’. This setup ensures that your automation runs daily and fetches data from Google Sheets to create posts on your Google Business Profile.

3. Fetching Data from Google Sheets

Next, you will need to fetch the necessary data from Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select the Google Sheets application and choose the action event as ‘Get Row’. This allows you to retrieve the specific row of data that contains the post details.

Connect your Google Sheets account by adding a new connection or selecting an existing one. Choose the spreadsheet that holds your post data and specify the range from which to fetch the details. For example, use A2 to C for fetching all relevant columns.

• Ensure your range is set to allow future data additions without needing to edit the automation.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the data is fetched correctly.

By setting this up, you ensure that your automation can dynamically pull in new content for your posts without manual intervention.

4. Generating Content Using OpenAI

After fetching the data, the next step is to generate content for your posts using OpenAI. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as the application and choose the action event ‘Chat GPT’. This integration allows you to generate high-quality content based on the topics fetched from Google Sheets.

Connect your OpenAI account using the API key. Specify the prompt for content generation, ensuring it includes a request for a word limit of no more than 1,500 characters. Map the topic from the previous step to personalize the content generated.

Make sure to click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to retrieve the generated content. Check the response to ensure the content meets your requirements before proceeding.

This integration simplifies the content creation process, enabling you to automate posts with relevant and engaging content.

5. Posting to Google Business Profile

Finally, you will set up the action to post the generated content to your Google Business Profile. In Pabbly Connect, select the Google Business Profile application and choose ‘Create Call to Action Post’ as the action event. This step allows you to publish the content generated by OpenAI directly to your profile.

Map the generated content and any required URLs from your Google Sheets data. Specify the type of post and the media format (e.g., photo) to enhance the post’s visibility. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the post and confirm that it appears on your Google Business Profile.

Monitor your Google Business Profile to ensure posts are being updated as expected. Adjust your automation settings in Pabbly Connect as needed for optimal performance.

This final step completes your automation process, allowing you to effortlessly maintain an active Google Business Profile.
