1. Setting Up URL and PAB Integration

To start with URL integration, you will need to sign into your PAB account. This is essential for connecting various applications like Google Sheets and Box. Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard and prepare to create a new workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Automate Text Generation with URL and PAB.’ Make sure to save it in a relevant folder for easy access.


2. Triggering Google Sheets with PAB

The next step involves setting Google Sheets as your trigger application within PAB. Search for Google Sheets and select it as your trigger application. Choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ to initiate the workflow whenever a new row is added.

  • Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
  • Choose the trigger event as New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.
  • Copy the provided webhook URL to connect Google Sheets with PAB.

After setting this up, you’ll need to configure your Google Sheets. Go to the ‘Extensions’ menu, select PAB Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup.’ Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the setup window. Specify your trigger column, which should be the final data column where new data will be added.


3. Connecting Anthropic to PAB

Now that you have Google Sheets set up, the next step is to connect Anthropic with PAB. Search for Anthropic in the action window and select it. The action event should be set to ‘Create Completion,’ allowing you to generate text based on the data from Google Sheets.

To establish this connection, you will need to provide your API key from your Anthropic account. If you have an existing connection, you can select it; otherwise, create a new one by entering the API key. Once connected, map the title field from Google Sheets to the prompt field in Anthropic to generate relevant text.

  • Select ‘Create Completion’ as the action event.
  • Map the title from Google Sheets to the prompt in Anthropic.
  • Set the Max tokens to define the length of generated text.

After completing these steps, send a test request to ensure the connection works correctly. You should receive a response with the generated text, confirming that the integration is successful.


4. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Text

With the generated text from Anthropic, the next step is to update the corresponding row in Google Sheets. Again, select Google Sheets as the action application and choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event. This will allow you to input the generated text back into the Google Sheets document. using Pabbly Connect

Establish a connection with Google Sheets using your existing connection. Select the spreadsheet you are using, which should be the same one you configured earlier. Map the row index you received from the previous step to ensure the correct row is updated with the new text.

Choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event in Google Sheets. Map the row index to update the correct row. Leave date and title fields blank to avoid overwriting existing values.

After mapping the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ If successful, you will see the updated row in your Google Sheets with the text generated by Anthropic. This confirms that your integration is complete and functioning correctly.


5. Real-Time Automation Demonstration

To showcase the real-time capabilities of your integration, add a new row in your Google Sheets with a date and title. For example, input the date as ’20th October 2023′ and the title as ‘Winter Clothes Essentials.’ This action will trigger the automation. using Pabbly Connect

Once you add this data, the integration will automatically generate text based on the title using Anthropic. You can then check your Google Sheets to see the generated text populated in the designated cell. This demonstrates the power of integrating URL, PAB, and Google Sheets to automate text generation seamlessly.

Whenever a new row is added in Google Sheets, the entire process will repeat, generating new text based on the title provided. This automation not only saves time but also enhances productivity by leveraging AI for content generation.
