1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate the process of generating WordPress blogs with images, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it something like ‘Airtable to OpenAI to WordPress’. This workflow will connect Airtable, OpenAI, and WordPress through Pabbly Connect, allowing you to automate blog content generation and posting.

2. Connecting Airtable to Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect Airtable to Pabbly Connect to trigger the automation whenever a new blog entry is added. Select Airtable as the app and choose the trigger event as ‘New Record’. Click ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.

• Enter your Airtable Personal Access Token to establish the connection.
• Select the base and table from which you want to pull the new records.
• Ensure that the trigger field is set to ‘Created Time’ to track new entries accurately.

After saving the connection, test it to ensure that Pabbly Connect retrieves the latest data from your Airtable base. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the automation process.

3. Generating Images with OpenAI

Next, you will use Pabbly Connect to generate images based on the prompts provided in Airtable. Add an action step and select OpenAI as the app. Choose the action event ‘Generate Image’. Connect your OpenAI account by adding your API key.

Once connected, map the image prompt from your Airtable trigger step to the OpenAI action. Specify the model (like DALL-E 3), the number of images, and the desired quality. After completing these fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the image.

4. Creating Blog Content with OpenAI

In this section, you will create the actual blog content using OpenAI. Add another action step in Pabbly Connect and select OpenAI again, this time choosing ‘ChatGPT’ as the model for generating text. Connect using the existing connection.

Map the blog title and image URL from previous steps into the prompt field. For example, instruct ChatGPT to write a blog using the title and include the generated image. This will ensure that the blog content is relevant and formatted correctly for WordPress.

• Use HTML formatting to ensure proper display in WordPress.
• Test the request to verify that the content is generated successfully.

After testing, you should receive a complete blog post ready for publication.

5. Posting the Blog to WordPress

Finally, you will post the generated blog content to WordPress using Pabbly Connect. Add one last action step and select WordPress as the app, choosing ‘Create Post’ as the action event. Connect your WordPress account by entering the necessary credentials.

Map the post title and content from the previous OpenAI action. You can choose to save the post as a draft or publish it immediately. After setting up these details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will create a new blog post in your WordPress account.

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you can automate the process of generating WordPress blogs with images using Pabbly Connect, OpenAI, and Airtable. This integration simplifies content creation, allowing bloggers to focus on other important tasks while ensuring high-quality output.
