1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating article generation on WordPress, first access Pabbly Connect by visiting its homepage. You can easily reach it by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. Once there, you can either sign in if you already have an account or click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create a new account.

Upon creating your account, you will receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the functionalities of Pabbly Connect. After signing in, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows and integrations efficiently.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Generate Unique Articles Using OpenAI’. After naming, select a folder to save your workflow and click ‘Create’.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select a folder for organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is what initiates the workflow, while the Action is the response that occurs. For this automation, we will use Google Sheets as the trigger and OpenAI and WordPress as actions.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger

In this step, configure Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new row is added to your spreadsheet.

Next, a webhook URL will be provided. Copy this URL to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Go to your Google Sheets, click on ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Install the add-on if you haven’t done so already.

• Select Google Sheets and trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on in Google Sheets.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets. Under ‘Extensions’, find ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and set up the initial configuration by pasting the webhook URL and specifying the trigger column. This column indicates where data entry will trigger the workflow.

4. Integrating OpenAI to Generate Articles

Now that Google Sheets is set up as the trigger, it’s time to integrate OpenAI to generate articles based on the titles entered in Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, add OpenAI as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT’. This will allow you to generate articles using the AI model.

To connect OpenAI, you will need an API token. If you have an existing connection, select it; otherwise, create a new one by providing your OpenAI API key. After connecting, set the AI model to ‘GPT-3.5 Turbo’ and create a prompt that instructs the AI to generate an article based on the title from Google Sheets.

Select OpenAI and the action event ‘Chat GPT’. Provide your OpenAI API token for connection. Set the AI model to ‘GPT-3.5 Turbo’.

Map the title from Google Sheets into the prompt field to ensure that the AI generates relevant content. After setting up, test the action to verify that the article is generated successfully. If successful, you will see the generated article displayed in the response section.

5. Posting the Generated Article to WordPress

With the article generated, the final step is to post it on your WordPress site. In Pabbly Connect, add WordPress as the next action application and select the action event ‘Create Post’. This will allow you to publish the article directly to your site.

To connect your WordPress account, enter your WordPress username, password, and the base URL of your site. Ensure that you format the URL correctly, including ‘https://’ but excluding ‘wp-admin’. After connecting, map the post title and content fields with the respective data from the previous steps.

Select WordPress and the action event ‘Create Post’. Enter your WordPress credentials and base URL. Map the title and content to the post fields.

Once everything is set, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If the connection is successful, the article will be published on your WordPress site. You can check your WordPress dashboard to see the newly created post.
