1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate your e-commerce product descriptions, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. You can create a free account in just two minutes by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard to start creating your workflows.

After logging in, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will need to provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘AI Product Description Generator for E-Commerce’. Choose the desired folder for your automation and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application. You need to choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture data from your spreadsheet whenever a new entry is added.

• Select Google Sheets from the application list.
• Choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go back to your Google Sheet. Click on Extensions, then Add-ons, and finally Get Add-ons. Search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on and install it. Once installed, navigate back to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on Initial Setup. Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field and specify the trigger column as ‘Edge’. This column will activate the automation when data is entered.

3. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

After connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to integrate OpenAI with Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose the action event ‘ChatGPT’. You will need to connect your OpenAI account by providing an API key, which you can generate from your OpenAI dashboard.

Once connected, select the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-3.5 Turbo. In the prompt field, input the instruction to generate product descriptions, for example, ‘Generate product description for my e-commerce store with the following details’. You will then map the product details from your Google Sheets to this prompt, ensuring the information is dynamically pulled during automation.

4. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Descriptions

Once the product description is generated, the next step is to update the Google Sheets with the new description using Pabbly Connect. Click the plus icon to add another action and select Google Sheets again. This time, choose the action event ‘Update Spreadsheet Row’.

• Connect to Google Sheets using the existing connection.
• Select the spreadsheet and sheet where the product details are stored.
• Map the row index and the generated product description to the respective fields.

After mapping the necessary fields, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. If successful, the product description will be updated in the specified row of your Google Sheets. This ensures that your spreadsheet is always current with the latest generated descriptions.

5. Creating Products in WooCommerce

The final step in this automation is to create products in WooCommerce using Pabbly Connect. Select WooCommerce as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Product’. Connect your WooCommerce account by providing your consumer key, secret, and website URL.

Map the required fields such as product name, SKU, price, and description from your Google Sheets data. Ensure that the product status is set to ‘Published’ to make the products live on your store. After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, your product will be created in WooCommerce, and you can verify it in your store.
