1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating your Facebook posts, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the integration hub for connecting various applications, including Google Sheets and Chat GPT.

Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage and sign in or create a new account. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create workflows that connect your applications seamlessly.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Run Multiple Prompts to Create Facebook Post Using Chat GPT.’ This naming helps in organizing your tasks effectively.

• Select your desired folder for the workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize the workflow setup.

Now that the workflow is created, you can proceed to set up the trigger and action steps necessary for automating your Facebook posts.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Google Sheets

In this step, you will configure your trigger using Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ to ensure that every time a new row is added, the workflow is activated.

Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and head to your Google Sheets. Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on via the Extensions menu. Once installed, refresh your Google Sheet and navigate back to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup to paste the webhook URL.

4. Connecting Chat GPT for Content Generation

After setting up the trigger, the next action is to connect Chat GPT to generate content. In Pabbly Connect, select Chat GPT as your action application and choose the event ‘Ask Chat GPT’. This allows you to send a prompt to Chat GPT based on the title entered in Google Sheets.

To connect Chat GPT, you will need to provide the API key. Log into your Chat GPT account, create a new secret key, and paste it into Pabbly Connect. After successfully connecting, map the title from the Google Sheets trigger to the prompt field in Chat GPT.

• Select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4.
• Enter a prompt like ‘Generate a one-line caption for my Facebook post for the title’.

Once configured, save your changes to ensure the content is generated correctly.

5. Posting to Facebook and Updating Google Sheets

The final step involves posting the generated content to your Facebook page. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Facebook Pages as the application. Choose the action event ‘Create a Page Photo Post’ to post the content generated by Chat GPT.

Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect and select the appropriate page. Map the image URL and the generated caption from the previous steps. After configuring the post, save and test the request to ensure it posts successfully.

Verify that the post appears on your Facebook page. Lastly, update your Google Sheets to reflect the new post details.

With this, your automation is complete, and you can now manage your Facebook posts efficiently using Pabbly Connect.
