1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate the process of creating Google Business Profile posts, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Create a free account if you haven’t already, which allows you to test various automations. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create your workflow.

Click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Automatically Post Google Business Profile Posts’ and select a folder to save it. This initial setup is crucial for connecting your Google Sheets with OpenAI and automating the post creation process.

2. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This configuration will allow Pabbly Connect to capture data whenever a new row is added.

• Open Google Sheets and prepare your data with titles and image URLs.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on in Google Sheets.

After installing the add-on, paste the webhook URL into the initial setup and specify the trigger column. This setup ensures that every time a new row is added to Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will automatically send the data to the next application in the workflow.

3. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will integrate OpenAI with Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as the action application and choose ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event. This integration allows you to generate content based on the data received from Google Sheets.

To connect OpenAI, you need an API key. Go to your OpenAI account, generate a new API key if needed, and paste it in Pabbly Connect. After connecting, select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-3.5 Turbo, and set up the prompt for content creation.

• Map the title from Google Sheets to the prompt in OpenAI.
• Specify the content length to not exceed 200 words.

This mapping ensures that when a new row is added, OpenAI generates relevant content automatically for your Google Business Profile posts.

4. Posting to Google Business Profile via Pabbly Connect

After generating content with OpenAI, the next step is to post it to your Google Business Profile through Pabbly Connect. Select Google Business Profile as the action application and choose ‘Create Call to Action Post’. This will enable you to create a post with the content generated by OpenAI.

Connect your Google Business Profile account to Pabbly Connect. Map the generated content and the image URL from Google Sheets to the respective fields in the post creation form.

Ensure the image URL is in JPG or PNG format to avoid errors. Provide a relevant action URL for the ‘Learn More’ button.

Once everything is mapped correctly, click the button to create the post. If successful, your post will appear on your Google Business Profile automatically.

5. Finalizing Automation with Pabbly Connect

To finalize your automation, ensure that the ‘Send on Event’ option is enabled in Pabbly Connect. This setting allows the workflow to trigger automatically whenever a new row is added to Google Sheets, ensuring seamless operation.

Additionally, it’s recommended to use an incognito window or avoid multiple Gmail accounts in the same tab to prevent authentication errors while connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

Once your automation is set up, you can relax as Pabbly Connect will handle the entire process of creating and posting to your Google Business Profile without any manual intervention.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to use Pabbly Connect to automate Google Business Profile posts with OpenAI. By following these steps, you can streamline your posting process and save time on manual updates.
