1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate Google Business Profile posts, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by creating a free account on the Pabbly Connect platform. This will allow you to access the automation features necessary for connecting Google Sheets and OpenAI.

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Automatically Post Google Business Profile Posts.’ Select the main workflow folder and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

The next step involves integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to capture data whenever a new row is added. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as the trigger application and choose the event ‘New Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

• Select the Google Sheets account and authorize Pabbly Connect.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Open Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons, and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.
• Paste the copied webhook URL in the add-on setup and specify the trigger column.

After setting up the trigger, test the connection by adding a new row in Google Sheets. This data will automatically be sent to Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration is successful.

3. Connecting OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

Now that Google Sheets is integrated, the next step is to connect OpenAI to Pabbly Connect. Choose OpenAI as the action application in the workflow and select the action event ‘ChatGPT’. This will enable Pabbly Connect to generate content based on the data received from Google Sheets.

To connect OpenAI, you will need an API key. Navigate to your OpenAI account, generate a new API key, and paste it into the Pabbly Connect setup. Select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-3.5 Turbo, and enter the prompt for content generation. Use mapping to dynamically insert the topic from Google Sheets into the prompt.

After setting up the action, test the integration to ensure that OpenAI generates the content correctly based on the input from Google Sheets. This step is crucial as it verifies that Pabbly Connect is effectively facilitating the communication between Google Sheets and OpenAI.

4. Posting to Google Business Profile via Pabbly Connect

The final step is to post the generated content to your Google Business Profile using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Business Profile as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create Call to Action Post’. This allows you to post the content generated by OpenAI directly to your business profile.

• Connect your Google Business Profile account to Pabbly Connect and authorize access.
• Map the content generated by OpenAI to the summary field for the post.
• Choose the action type and specify the media format if you want to include images.

Once everything is set up, click on the button to create the post. If successful, the post will appear on your Google Business Profile, confirming that Pabbly Connect has automated the entire process seamlessly.
