1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Your Automation Needs

To start automating your YouTube video summaries, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. Simply visit the Pabbly Connect homepage and sign up if you are a new user or log in if you already have an account.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create workflows that automate tasks between YouTube, Perplexity AI, and Google Sheets. This setup will help you save time and streamline your content creation process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this example, name it ‘Automatically Summarize YouTube Videos with Perplexity AI’. You can also select a folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• Understand the two main principles: Trigger (when this happens) and Action (do this).

Now that your workflow is created, you can set up the trigger. For this automation, select YouTube as your trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Video in Channel’. This ensures that whenever a new video is uploaded, the workflow will be triggered automatically.

3. Connecting YouTube to Pabbly Connect

After setting the trigger, you will need to connect your YouTube account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log in to your YouTube account and grant permission to Pabbly Connect to access your data.

Once connected, select the channel ID for the YouTube channel you want to automate. This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor this channel for new videos. After selecting the channel, you can proceed to upload a new video to test the integration.

4. Generating Summaries Using Perplexity AI

Next, you will set up the action step to generate a summary using Perplexity AI. In Pabbly Connect, select Perplexity AI as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Chat Completion’. You will need to connect your Perplexity AI account by entering your API key.

• Log into your Perplexity AI account and navigate to the API section to generate your API key.
• Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

After connecting, set the prompt for generating the summary. Use the format: ‘Give me a summary of video link title title’. Map the video link and title from the YouTube trigger response to make the summary generation dynamic.

5. Saving Summaries to Google Sheets

The final step is to save the generated summary into Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘Add a New Row’. Connect your Google Sheets account by signing in and granting access.

Once connected, select the spreadsheet where you want to save the summary. Map the video URL, title, and summary fields from the previous steps. This will ensure that every time a new video is uploaded, the summary will automatically be added to your Google Sheets.

Conclusion

This guide summarizes the key points and helps you understand the essential features and benefits of using this tool.

With this setup, you have successfully automated the process of summarizing YouTube videos using Pabbly Connect. Now, whenever you upload a new video, a summary will be generated and saved in your Google Sheets automatically. This integration not only saves time but also keeps your audience engaged with concise content.
