1. Accessing Pabbly Connect to Automate Newsletters

To start automating your newsletter creation, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser.

Once on the homepage, you can either sign in if you have an existing account or click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ option to create a new account. New users receive 100 free tasks per month, making it easy to explore the capabilities of Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect where you can manage all your workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate a new automation. You will be prompted to enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Automatically Generate Creative Newsletters with Google Gemini’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click ‘Create’ to finalize the setup.

With your workflow created, you will see options for setting up triggers and actions. The trigger will define when the workflow starts, while actions will execute the tasks you want to automate using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger

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

After selecting the trigger, you will be provided with a webhook URL. Copy this URL to set up the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. In your Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ add-on to install it.

4. Connecting Google Gemini and Google Docs

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to connect Google Gemini to generate content based on the data captured from Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, add Google Gemini as the action application and select the action event to generate content. You will need to connect using your API key from Google AI Studio.

After successfully connecting, map the title from the previous step to generate unique content. Once the content is generated, the next action will be to append this content into a Google Document. Select Google Docs as your next action application and choose the action event ‘Create a Blank Document’.

• Map the document name with the title from Google Sheets.
• Click ‘Save’ and send a test request to confirm the document creation.

This step ensures that every time a new title is added, a corresponding Google Document is created with the generated newsletter content.

5. Notifying Your Team via Google Chat

To complete the workflow, you can notify your team members via Google Chat when a new newsletter is ready. Add Google Chat as the final action application in Pabbly Connect. Select the action event ‘Create a Message’ and enter the chat webhook URL obtained from your Google Chat space.

Compose a message that informs your team about the newly created newsletter. This message will include the title of the newsletter, ensuring that your team is always updated. Click ‘Save’ and send a test request to check if the message is delivered successfully.

Once the setup is confirmed, your team will receive notifications automatically whenever a new newsletter is generated, streamlining the communication process. This entire automation significantly reduces manual work, allowing your marketing team to focus on content quality instead of logistics.
