To automatically convert text to speech from Google Sheets, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform acts as the bridge between your Google Sheets and Eden AI, facilitating the conversion process.

Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once you are logged into your dashboard, you can create a new workflow. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and give it a name, such as ‘Google Sheets to Eden AI’. This setup is crucial for ensuring that your Google Sheets data can be processed seamlessly.

2. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure Google Sheets to work with Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, select Google Sheets as your app. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new entries.

• Select the Google Sheets app in Pabbly Connect.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your Google Sheet. Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks. Install the add-on, then refresh your Google Sheet. This step ensures that your Google Sheet is ready to communicate with Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting Eden AI with Pabbly Connect

After configuring Google Sheets, the next step is to connect Eden AI through Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select Eden AI as the app and choose the action event as ‘Convert Text to Speech’. This integration allows you to send text from Google Sheets to Eden AI for conversion.

To establish this connection, you will need your Eden AI API token. Go to your Eden AI account, copy the API token, and paste it into Pabbly Connect. This step is essential for authenticating the connection between the two platforms.

• Select ‘Convert Text to Speech’ as the action event.
• Paste your Eden AI API token in Pabbly Connect.
• Map the text input from Google Sheets to the Eden AI action.

After mapping the text input, you can also select the voice type and language for the speech output. This configuration ensures that the audio generated matches your preferences.

4. Updating Google Sheets with Audio URL

Once you have converted the text to speech using Eden AI, the next step is to update your Google Sheets with the audio URL. In this step, select Google Sheets again in the action window and choose ‘Update Cell Value’ as the action event. This allows Pabbly Connect to write back the audio URL to your Google Sheet.

Connect your Google Sheets account with Pabbly Connect using the same method as before. After connecting, you will need to select the specific spreadsheet and sheet where you want to update the audio URL. Make sure to map the row index received in the trigger step to ensure the audio URL is placed in the correct row.

Select the spreadsheet and sheet for updating the audio URL. Map the row index to ensure the URL is placed correctly. Map the audio URL received from Eden AI.

After completing these steps, you can test the entire workflow by adding a new row of text to your Google Sheet. Within moments, the audio URL should automatically update in the same row, demonstrating the successful integration of Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

Finally, it’s time to test your automation workflow. Add a new text entry in your Google Sheet and observe how Pabbly Connect triggers the automation. The text should be sent to Eden AI for conversion, and the resulting audio URL should be updated back into the Google Sheet.

Ensure that the audio file is accessible by clicking on the URL in your Google Sheet. This test confirms that the entire process works seamlessly, from inputting text to receiving audio output.

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize Pabbly Connect to automate the conversion of text to speech from Google Sheets. This integration not only saves time but also enhances productivity by allowing you to convert text into audio effortlessly.
