1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for YouTube Video Tags

In this section, we will explain how to set up Pabbly Connect to automate the generation of YouTube video tags. Start by signing into your Pabbly Connect account and clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard. Name your workflow something like ‘Generate YouTube Video Tags with OpenAI’ and click ‘Create’ to initiate your automation.

Next, you need to set the trigger application. In this case, select Google Sheets as your trigger application. The trigger event will be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This means that every time a new row is added to your Google Sheet, Pabbly Connect will automatically fetch the details required for generating tags.

2. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up Pabbly Connect, it’s time to configure Google Sheets to work with it. In your Google Sheet, ensure you have columns for video title, description, and a blank column for tags. Install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on by navigating to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons, then searching for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and installing it.

• Open the add-on and go to Initial Setup.
• Paste the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Set the Trigger Column to the last updated column (e.g., F).

Submit the setup and test it to ensure that the connection is successfully established. This will allow Pabbly Connect to receive data from your Google Sheets whenever a new row is added or updated.

3. Integrating OpenAI to Generate Video Tags

After configuring Google Sheets, the next step is to integrate OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. Set the action application to OpenAI and select the action event as ‘Generate Content.’ You will need to create a new connection by providing your OpenAI API key. This key can be generated from your OpenAI account under the API Keys section.

Once connected, you will need to map the title and description fields from your Google Sheet into the prompt for OpenAI. Use the prompt ‘Generate tags for a YouTube video’ followed by the title and description. Ensure that you configure the parameters such as tokens and sampling type as required.

4. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Tags

Once the tags are generated by OpenAI, you will want to update your Google Sheet with these tags using Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step and select Google Sheets again, setting the action event to ‘Update Cell Value.’ You will connect to the same Google Sheet and specify the column where the tags should be updated.

Make sure to map the row index from the trigger step so that the correct row gets updated with the new tags. After saving the setup, send a test request to ensure that the tags are correctly populated in the specified column.

5. Finalizing YouTube Integration with Pabbly Connect

As a final step, you can update the generated tags directly in your YouTube video using Pabbly Connect. Set the action application to YouTube and choose the action event ‘Update Video Details.’ Connect your YouTube account and ensure you have the necessary permissions to make changes.

Map the required fields such as video ID, title, and description from your Google Sheet or the previously generated content. Finally, send a test request to confirm that the tags have been successfully updated in your YouTube video.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the generation of YouTube video tags using OpenAI and Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can save time and streamline your YouTube video preparation process. This integration not only enhances your workflow but also ensures that your videos are optimized for better visibility on YouTube.
