1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating your article writing and publishing process, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful tool allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. Once logged in to your Pabbly Connect account, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Next, you will need to name your workflow. For example, you can name it ‘Draft Article on WordPress with ChatGPT’. After naming, select the appropriate folder for your workflow and click on ‘Create’. This initiates the setup for connecting Google Sheets, ChatGPT, and WordPress through Pabbly Connect.

2. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This means that whenever a new blog title is added to your spreadsheet, it will trigger the automation process. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the appropriate trigger event.

• Select the trigger event that corresponds to when a new row is added.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Google Sheets, click on Extensions, and find the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on to paste the URL.

After setting up the webhook, specify the trigger column in your sheet where you will indicate when to generate an article. This setup ensures that every time you add a ‘Yes’ in that column, Pabbly Connect will automatically pick up the title and image URL for article generation.

3. Generating Articles with ChatGPT via Pabbly Connect

Once Google Sheets is connected, the next step is to integrate ChatGPT through Pabbly Connect. This tool will generate the content based on the blog title you provided. Select ChatGPT as the action application and choose the action event for generating text.

You’ll need to enter the API key for your ChatGPT account to establish the connection. After connecting, you can specify the AI model you want to use for generating articles. Map the blog title from the Google Sheets data into the prompt field to create context-specific content.

• Select the GPT-3.5 Turbo model for article generation.
• Map the title from the Google Sheets response into the prompt.
• Test the connection to ensure that the content is generated correctly.

If the response is positive, you have successfully integrated ChatGPT with Pabbly Connect, allowing for automatic article generation based on your spreadsheet input.

4. Publishing Articles to WordPress with Pabbly Connect

After generating the article, the next step is to publish it on WordPress. In this step, you will select WordPress as the next action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event for creating a post and connect your WordPress account by entering your username and password, as well as the base URL of your site.

Ensure that you have the WordPress REST API authentication plugin installed and activated on your site. This will allow Pabbly Connect to communicate with your WordPress account effectively. Once connected, map the title and content generated by ChatGPT into the respective fields for your WordPress post.

Select the post type and status (e.g., publish immediately). Map the content generated from ChatGPT into the content field. Test the connection to confirm that the article is published correctly.

Once you receive a successful response, your article will be published automatically on your WordPress site, completing the automation process.

5. Final Steps and Automation Completion with Pabbly Connect

In this final section, you will refine your automation workflow in Pabbly Connect. If you want to ensure that articles are only generated when a specific condition is met (e.g., when ‘Yes’ is entered in Google Sheets), you can add a filter step after the Google Sheets trigger.

This filter will check the value in the designated column, and if it is ‘Yes’, the workflow will proceed to generate the article; otherwise, it will stop. This feature allows for more controlled automation, ensuring that articles are only created when intended.

Add a filter after the Google Sheets step to check for the ‘Yes’ condition. Ensure that the workflow only continues if the condition is met. Test the entire workflow to confirm it functions as expected.

By following these steps, you will have a fully automated system for writing and publishing articles using Pabbly Connect, Google Sheets, and ChatGPT. You can now enjoy the benefits of automation without manual intervention.
