1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Social Media Automation

To begin automating your social media posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the homepage of Pabbly Connect and sign in or create a new account. This platform is crucial as it allows you to connect various applications seamlessly.

After signing in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it something relevant, such as ‘Generate Unique Social Media Posts with Perplexity AI’. This sets the stage for automating your social media content.

2. Trigger Setup with Google Sheets in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up Google Sheets as a trigger in Pabbly Connect. This means that whenever you add a new row in your Google Sheets, the automation will be triggered. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.
• Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you will need to set up the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect in your Google Sheets. This URL acts as a bridge for data transfer. Make sure to select the appropriate trigger column, which will determine when the automation should activate.

3. Connecting Perplexity AI to Generate Captions

After setting up Google Sheets, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to connect Perplexity AI. This connection allows you to generate captions for your social media posts based on the titles you input in Google Sheets. Select Perplexity AI as the action application and choose the event ‘Create Chat Completion’.

To establish this connection, you will need an API key from your Perplexity AI account. Once you have the API key, paste it into Pabbly Connect to authorize the connection. After that, you will configure the details such as the model type and the content prompt, which will guide Perplexity AI in generating relevant captions.

4. Sharing Posts on Facebook and Twitter Using Pabbly Connect

Once the captions are generated by Perplexity AI, the next step is to share these posts on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter through Pabbly Connect. First, add an action step for Facebook Pages and select the event ‘Create Page Photo Post’.

• Select the Facebook page where you want to share the post.
• Map the image URL and the content generated from Perplexity AI.
• Test the connection to ensure the post is created successfully.

Similarly, add another action step for Twitter (formerly X) and select the action event ‘Create Tweet’. Again, map the title and content generated for seamless posting. This integration allows you to automate the posting process effectively.

5. Testing and Verifying the Automation Workflow

After setting everything up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the automation. Add a new row in your Google Sheets with a title and an image URL. This should trigger the entire workflow, generating content through Perplexity AI and sharing it on both Facebook and Twitter.

Once you add the new row, check your Facebook and Twitter accounts to verify that the posts have been created successfully. This step ensures that your automation is functioning as intended, allowing you to engage your audience without manual effort.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the process of generating and sharing social media posts effectively. This tutorial demonstrated how to integrate Google Sheets, Perplexity AI, Facebook, and Twitter to streamline your content creation workflow.
