1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Email Automation

To automate email marketing, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have one, you can create a free account in just a couple of minutes. This platform will serve as the integration hub between Google Sheets and Anthropic.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow.’ Here, you will need to name your workflow. For instance, you can name it ‘Write Marketing Emails in Seconds Using Anthropic’. After naming, select the folder where you want to save this workflow and click on ‘Create.’

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

Next, you will set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ to capture new email topics automatically. This ensures that every time a new topic is added to your Google Sheet, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select the Google Sheets application as the trigger.
• Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Google Sheet, click on Extensions, then Add-ons, and search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.

After installing the add-on, click on the initial setup button and paste the webhook URL. Specify the trigger column, which should be the column where your email topics are entered, typically column A. Once set, click on the button to send a test data, verifying that the connection works successfully.

3. Connecting Anthropic AI to Generate Email Content

Now that Google Sheets is set up, the next step is to connect Anthropic AI to Pabbly Connect. Select Anthropic as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Completion.’ This action will generate email content based on the topics entered in your Google Sheet.

To establish the connection, you will need to enter your API key from Anthropic. If you don’t have it, you can retrieve it from your account settings on Anthropic. Once you have the key, paste it into Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Connect.’

• Select the model you wish to use for content generation.
• Input the prompt for your email, such as ‘Write a marketing email on the topic.’
• Map the email topic from your Google Sheet to the prompt field.

This mapping ensures that every new topic added in Google Sheets will automatically generate corresponding email content in Anthropic AI.

4. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Email Content

After generating the email content, the next step is to update your Google Sheet with this content using Pabbly Connect. You will again select Google Sheets as the action application, but this time choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’ to insert the generated email content.

When prompted, connect to Google Sheets using the existing connection. Select the appropriate spreadsheet and specify the range where the email content should be added. For instance, if you want to add the content to column B, you can set the range as B2, B3, etc. This will allow for automatic updates as new topics are added.

Map the generated email content to the corresponding cell in your Google Sheet. Ensure that the row number updates dynamically based on the new entries. Click ‘Save’ to finalize the setup.

This step ensures that every time a new email is generated, it will automatically populate in your Google Sheet, maintaining an organized record of all emails created.
