1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating blog generation, we will access Pabbly Connect. First, open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website.

Once there, you can either sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can create your first automation workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect that connects Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Google Blogger. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Sheets to OpenAI to Google Blogger’.

• Select the appropriate folder for your automation.
• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow editor.
• You will see two main sections: Trigger and Action.

Now, we can set up the trigger for our workflow, which will activate when a new row is added in Google Sheets.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

The first step in our automation is to set the trigger using Pabbly Connect. Choose Google Sheets as the app and select the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new entries.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. You need to copy this URL and add it to your Google Sheets using the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. Follow these steps:

• Open Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

In the setup window, select the sheet, paste the webhook URL, and specify the trigger column. Click ‘Send Test’ to verify the connection.

4. Generating Content with OpenAI

Now that we have set up the trigger, we will use Pabbly Connect to generate blog content and images using OpenAI. In the action step, select OpenAI and choose the action event as ‘Generate Image’.

To connect your OpenAI account, you will need to enter your OpenAI API key. You can find this in your OpenAI account under the API Keys section. Once connected, map the image prompt from Google Sheets to the prompt field in OpenAI.

Select the model (DALL-E 3) for image generation. Specify the number of images and their size. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the image.

Once the image is generated, you will receive a URL that you can use in your blog post.

5. Posting the Generated Content to Google Blogger

Finally, we will use Pabbly Connect to post the generated content to Google Blogger. In a new action step, select Google Blogger and choose the action event ‘Create a Post’.

Connect your Google Blogger account, select the blog ID where you want to post, and map the title and content from the previous steps. Make sure to also map the image URL generated by OpenAI to include the image in your blog post.

Specify the status of the post (draft or live). Schedule the post by mapping the publish date and time. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post.

After successfully creating the post, you can verify it on your Google Blogger account to ensure everything is working as intended.
