1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect and Its Features

Pabbly Connect is a powerful automation and integration tool that simplifies the process of connecting various applications. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate content generation using Google Gemini and share it on Slack for team reviews. This integration saves time and enhances productivity.

To begin, ensure that you have a Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and access 100 free tasks every month. Once logged in, you will have access to various applications, including Google Sheets, Google Gemini, and Slack, all integrated through Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To automate content generation, we will first set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This allows us to capture new titles and keywords whenever they are added to the spreadsheet. Start by creating a new workflow in Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ in the top right corner of the dashboard.
• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Automatically Generate Content via Google Gemini.’
• Select a folder to save your workflow.

Once the workflow is created, select Google Sheets as the trigger application and set the event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This configuration will ensure that whenever a new title or keywords are added, Pabbly Connect captures the response.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

After setting up Google Sheets as a trigger, you will need to connect it to Pabbly Connect using a webhook URL. Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and navigate to your Google Sheets.

In Google Sheets, click on the ‘Extensions’ menu, then go to ‘Add-ons’ and select ‘Get Add-ons.’ Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it if you haven’t already. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets and follow these steps:

• Click on ‘Extensions’ again, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks,’ and choose ‘Initial Setup.’
• Paste the webhook URL in the provided field.
• Specify the trigger column that will capture the data (e.g., Column B).

After completing these steps, click ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to capture data from Google Sheets whenever a new title or keyword is entered.

4. Generating Content with Google Gemini via Pabbly Connect

Now that Google Sheets is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to generate content using Google Gemini. In the workflow, add an action step and select Google Gemini as the action application. Set the action event to ‘Generate Content.’

To connect Google Gemini with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and provide your API key from Google AI Studio. Here’s how to obtain the API key:

Go to Google AI Studio and click on ‘Get API Key.’ Create a new API key for your project and copy it.

Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect and set up the prompt for content generation. Map the title and keywords from the previous step to ensure dynamic content generation based on the data captured from Google Sheets.

5. Sharing Generated Content on Slack

After generating content with Google Gemini, the final step is to share it on Slack for review. Add another action step in your workflow and select Slack as the action application, with the action event set to ‘Send Channel Message.’

Connect Slack to Pabbly Connect by selecting ‘Add New Connection.’ Choose the appropriate token type, and allow the necessary permissions. Specify the channel where you want to send the message, such as your review team channel. In the message field, map the data for the title and content generated to provide context for your team.

Write a message like ‘New content generated for review on the topic: [Title].’ Include the generated content in the message.

After filling in the details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ Check your Slack channel to confirm the message has been successfully sent. This seamless integration demonstrates the power of Pabbly Connect in automating workflows across different applications.
