1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating WordPress posts using Pabbly Connect, first, access your Pabbly Connect account. This platform is essential for integrating various applications, including Gmail and ChatGPT, to streamline your workflow. using Pabbly Connect

Once logged in, click on the big blue ‘Create Workflow’ button on the right side. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Create WordPress Post from Email and ChatGPT’ and click on ‘Create.’ This action will set up a blank workflow that consists of the trigger and action modules necessary for automation.

2. Integrating Email Parser with Pabbly Connect

The first step in our automation process is using the Email Parser feature in Pabbly Connect. This feature captures emails that will trigger the workflow. To do this, you need to set up a mail hook that integrates with your Gmail account. using Pabbly Connect

• Open your Gmail account and navigate to Settings.
• In Settings, go to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab.
• Add the mail hook address from Pabbly Connect as a forwarding address.
• Confirm the forwarding address using the verification code sent to Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the forwarding address, any email sent to this address will trigger the Pabbly Connect workflow. Make sure to test this by sending an email with the subject ‘WordPress Post’ to see if it captures the email correctly.

3. Filtering Emails to Create Relevant Posts

Once you have the email captured, the next step is to filter it before proceeding to generate content with ChatGPT. This ensures that only relevant emails trigger the creation of a WordPress post. using Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, add a filter step that checks if the subject of the email equals ‘WordPress Post.’ This condition will prevent unwanted emails from being processed. If the condition is met, the workflow proceeds to the next step.

• Set the filter condition to check if the email subject is exactly ‘WordPress Post.’
• Ensure the filter shows a success message indicating the condition is satisfied.

This filtering step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your workflow and ensuring that only the intended emails trigger the content generation process.

4. Using ChatGPT to Generate Content

Now that we have filtered the relevant emails, the next step involves using ChatGPT to generate the content for the WordPress post. In Pabbly Connect, add ChatGPT as the action application. using Pabbly Connect

Select the action event as ‘Ask ChatGPT’ and connect it to your OpenAI account using the API key. Configure the prompt to instruct ChatGPT to create a short essay based on the email content. For example, the prompt could be: ‘Create a short essay on [Topic].’ Make sure to replace [Topic] with the relevant subject extracted from the email.

Enter the API key obtained from OpenAI to establish the connection. Use the subject from the email as the topic for the essay.

Once configured, test this step to ensure ChatGPT generates the content correctly. The response will be used in the next step to create the WordPress post.

5. Creating WordPress Posts from Generated Content

Finally, we will use the generated content from ChatGPT to create a post in WordPress. In Pabbly Connect, add WordPress as the action application and select the ‘Create Post’ event. using Pabbly Connect

Connect your WordPress account by entering your username, password, and base URL (excluding the ‘wp-admin’ part). For the post details, use the title from the email and the content generated by ChatGPT. Make sure to set the post status to ‘Published’ for immediate visibility.

Configure the post title and content fields with the respective data. Set the post type to ‘Post’ and status to ‘Published.’

After saving and testing this step, check your WordPress site to confirm that the post has been created successfully with the correct content.
