1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating article generation, you must first set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Google Sheets and Google Docs using Google Generative AI.

Navigate to the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’. If you’re a new user, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create an account. Existing users can simply sign in. Once logged in, you will have access to all your workflows and can create new ones.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow for article generation, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow.

• Provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘Generate Unique Articles Using Gemini’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and one for the action. This separation allows you to define what event starts the automation and what actions occur as a result.

3. Trigger Setup with Google Sheets

For this automation, Google Sheets will serve as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your trigger app and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new title is added to your sheet.

Once selected, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. In your Google Sheets, go to Extensions, then Add-ons, and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks to install the necessary add-on.

• Paste the copied webhook URL into the Pabbly Connect Webhooks setup in Google Sheets.
• Set the trigger column where data will be entered (e.g., Column B).
• Click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection is successful.

After confirming the test is successful, you can proceed to set the action steps for generating articles.

4. Generating Articles with Google Gemini

Next, you will connect Google Gemini to Pabbly Connect to generate unique articles based on the titles added in Google Sheets. Choose Google Generative AI as the action application and select ‘Generate Content’ as the action event.

To create a new connection, you will need to input your API key from your Google Generative AI account. Navigate to Google AI Studio, select your project, and create an API key. Copy this key and paste it into the required field in Pabbly Connect.

Input a prompt for the AI, such as ‘Generate a unique article on this title for my event management company’. Map the title from the previous step to ensure the article is generated based on the new title. Select the content generation model and click ‘Save’.

After saving, send a test request to ensure that the article is generated successfully. You should receive a unique article as a response.

5. Creating Documents in Google Docs

Finally, the last step involves creating a Google Document to store the generated article. Select Google Docs as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose ‘Create a Blank Document’ as the action event.

Connect your Google Docs account, then map the document name to the title generated from Google Sheets. This ensures that each document created has a relevant title.

Click ‘Save’ and send a test request to check if the document is created. Next, add another action to ‘Append a Paragraph to Document’ using the document ID from the previous step. Map the generated article text to insert it into the document.

After completing these steps, you can test the entire workflow by adding a new title in Google Sheets. Check Google Docs to see the newly created document with the generated article.
