1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To create and share AI-generated images on Pinterest, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create an account and receive 100 free tasks each month.

Once signed in, you’ll find the dashboard where you can manage all your workflows. To initiate the integration process, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. You will be prompted to name your workflow, such as ‘Create and Share AI Generated Images on Pinterest’. Select a folder to save it, then click ‘Create’. This sets the stage for using Pabbly Connect to automate the process of generating images from Google Sheets.


2. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will connect Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will trigger the workflow whenever a new title is added to your spreadsheet.

  • Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
  • In Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’.
  • Install the add-on and refresh the spreadsheet.

Once installed, navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the copied webhook URL and set your trigger column (e.g., Column B). After entering these details, click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the integration is successful. If you receive a test response in Pabbly Connect, your setup is complete and ready for action.


3. Generating AI Images Using OpenAI

Now that Google Sheets is connected, we will set up OpenAI to generate images based on the titles added in the spreadsheet. In your workflow on Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as the action application and choose the event ‘Generate Image using DALL·E’.

To connect your OpenAI account, you can either add a new connection or select an existing one. If you choose to add a new connection, you will need an API token from your OpenAI account. After connecting, you need to provide a prompt for image generation. This prompt should include the title from Google Sheets, which will be dynamically mapped.

  • Select the DALL·E model (D E2 or D E3) for image generation.
  • Specify the number of images to generate and their size.
  • Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the image.

Once the image is generated, you will receive the image URL in the response, confirming that the integration with OpenAI through Pabbly Connect is successful.


4. Sharing Generated Images on Pinterest

The final step is to share the generated images on Pinterest. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add Pinterest as the action application and select the action event ‘Create Pin’. Connect your Pinterest account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’ and granting access to Pabbly Connect.

After successfully connecting, you need to fill in the required fields for creating a pin. You will select the board where the image will be shared, map the image URL received from OpenAI, and enter the title for the pin. If desired, you can also add a description.

Select the appropriate board for your pin. Map the image URL and title dynamically. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to share the pin on Pinterest.

With this step, your workflow is complete, and you can verify that the image has been successfully shared on your Pinterest board, demonstrating the power of Pabbly Connect in automating this process.


5. Testing the Integration Workflow

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, test the integration workflow by adding a new title in your Google Sheets. For example, enter ‘New Year’ as a title. Upon saving, the workflow should trigger automatically, generating an image using OpenAI and sharing it on Pinterest.

Check your Pinterest board to confirm that the new image has been added. This real-time testing will demonstrate the effectiveness of Pabbly Connect in automating the entire process from Google Sheets to OpenAI and finally to Pinterest.

By following these steps, you can continuously add new titles to your Google Sheets, and Pabbly Connect will ensure that images are generated and shared automatically, saving you time and effort in managing your Pinterest account.
