1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate blog generation, first access Pabbly Connect by visiting Pabbly.com/c/connect in your browser. This platform allows seamless integration of multiple applications, streamlining your workflow effectively.

Once on the landing page, you can either sign in if you are an existing user or sign up for free to enjoy 100 tasks monthly. After signing in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. After clicking on ‘Create Workflow,’ you will be prompted to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Automate Blog Generation Using Perplexity AI’ and choose a folder to save it.

• Enter the workflow name.
• Select a folder for organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed.

Upon creating the workflow, you will see the workflow window, where you need to set a trigger and action. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while actions are the tasks performed after the trigger occurs.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger

To initiate the automation, select Google Sheets as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to create a workflow that triggers when a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheets.

After selecting Google Sheets, choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This will generate a webhook URL that you will need to copy. Log into your Google Sheets account and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on to link your Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect.

• Open Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.
• Set up the webhook URL in the add-on settings.

After configuring the webhook, ensure that the trigger column is set correctly, and then click on ‘Send Test’ to verify that the connection works. This step is crucial for ensuring that your workflow triggers correctly when new data is added.

4. Integrating Perplexity AI for Content Generation

Now that you have set up Google Sheets as the trigger, the next step is to select Perplexity AI as the action application in Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to automatically generate content based on the details provided in your Google Sheets.

Choose the action event as ‘Create Chat Completion’ and connect your Perplexity AI account by providing the API key. This key can be found in your Perplexity AI account settings under the API section. After entering the key, select the model and configure the prompt using dynamic data from the Google Sheets trigger.

Select the model you wish to use for content generation. Map the required fields from Google Sheets to ensure dynamic content generation. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the content generation.

After successfully generating content, you can see the response from Perplexity AI, which will include the generated blog content. This response can now be used in your Google Sheets for further review.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Content

In this final step, you will update your Google Sheets with the content generated by Perplexity AI using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets again as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Update Cell Value.’ This allows you to insert the generated content into the appropriate cell in your spreadsheet.

Connect to your Google Sheets account and specify the spreadsheet and sheet you want to update. Set the range to the specific cell where the generated content will be placed, ensuring that you map the row index dynamically to accommodate new entries. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the integration.

Select the correct spreadsheet and sheet for updating. Map the row index and generated content correctly. Verify by checking the updated Google Sheet for the generated content.

Once verified, your workflow is complete, and you can now generate and store blog content automatically, saving time and effort.
