2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To automate your social media posts, you need to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Generate Unique Social Media Post with Perplexity AI’. Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Social Media Automations’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow setup screen.
• Understand the trigger and action concept: the trigger initiates the workflow, while actions are the tasks performed in response.
• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger, you will set up the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from your Google Sheets whenever a new row is added.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets Integration

Next, you need to set up the integration between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. This URL acts as a bridge for transferring data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

• Open your Google Sheets and go to ‘Extensions’ > ‘Add-ons’ > ‘Get Add-ons’.
• Search for and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.
• After installation, go back to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

In the setup, paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field and select the trigger column. This column will determine when data is sent to Pabbly Connect. Once set up, click ‘Send Test’ to confirm the connection works.

4. Integrating Perplexity AI with Pabbly Connect

Now, you can integrate Perplexity AI with Pabbly Connect to generate captions for your posts. Select Perplexity AI as your action application and choose ‘Create Chat Completion’ as the action event. Connect your Perplexity AI account by entering the API key, which you can find in your Perplexity AI account settings.

Map the title received from Google Sheets into the prompt field to generate dynamic content. Specify the model and role to use for generating the content. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to receive generated content.

This integration allows you to automate the process of creating unique social media posts based on the titles you input into Google Sheets. The generated content can then be used for posting on various platforms.

5. Sharing Posts on Facebook and X Channel

To share the generated posts on Facebook and X Channel, you will need to add action steps in Pabbly Connect. First, select Facebook Pages as your action application and choose ‘Create Page Photo Post’ as the action event. Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect and select the page where you want to post.

Map the image URL and content generated from Perplexity AI in the respective fields. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the post is created successfully. Repeat the process for X Channel, selecting it as your action application and mapping the required fields.

After setting up these integrations, your posts will automatically be shared on both platforms whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets. This setup saves time and ensures consistent social media engagement.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly automate the process of generating and sharing social media posts. By integrating Google Sheets, Perplexity AI, Facebook, and X Channel, you can save time and enhance your marketing efforts.
