1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Automating News Feeds

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate your Facebook news feed. By integrating RSS feeds with Perplexity AI, you can streamline the process of sharing the latest sports news. This method saves time and ensures your followers receive updates without manual effort.

First, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly Connect website and log in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 300 tasks every month. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create workflows to connect various applications.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To start, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the top right corner of the dashboard. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Automated News Feed on Facebook Using Perplexity AI’. Select a folder to save your workflow, or create a new one if necessary.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• Understand the two main principles: Trigger and Action.
• Set up a trigger to start your automation.

In the workflow, select the trigger application as RSS by Pabbly. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Item in Feed’. This means that whenever a new item is posted in your selected RSS feed, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting RSS Feed to Pabbly Connect

After selecting the trigger, you will need to connect your RSS feed to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and enter the feed URL from your desired RSS source. For this example, we will use the RSS feed from The Hindu, specifically for sports news.

Once you have copied the feed URL, paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect. You will also need to select a filter type, which can be set to ‘Default’. After entering the necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to validate the connection.

Upon successful connection, you will receive a response containing the title and details of the latest news item. This confirms that your RSS feed is properly integrated with Pabbly Connect.

4. Using Perplexity AI to Generate Summaries

Now that your RSS feed is connected, the next step is to generate a summary of the news using Perplexity AI. In your action step, select Perplexity AI as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Chat Completion’.

Connect your Perplexity AI account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’. You will need to enter your API key, which can be found in your Perplexity AI account settings. Paste the key into Pabbly Connect and save the connection.

• Set the model to ‘text-davinci-003’.
• Define the role as ‘user’ in the content user field.
• Provide a prompt for generating the summary.

Make sure to map the news link from the RSS feed response into your prompt. This will allow Perplexity AI to create a summary based on the latest news article automatically.

5. Posting to Facebook Using Pabbly Connect

Once you have generated the summary using Perplexity AI, the final step is to post it on your Facebook page. In your workflow, add another action step and select Facebook Pages as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Page Photo Post’ to include the media content along with the summary.

Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect and select your desired Facebook page. Map the media content URL from the RSS feed response and the summary generated by Perplexity AI into the respective fields. Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

Upon successful completion, you will see a confirmation message indicating that your post has been created on Facebook. By following these steps, you have successfully automated your Facebook news feed using Pabbly Connect and Perplexity AI.
