1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Document Automation

To auto-generate document summaries, you need to start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Simply visit the Pabbly website and sign in or create a new account. This platform is essential for connecting Google Sheets with Google Docs and Google Generative AI.

Once logged in, you’ll find options to create workflows. This is where Pabbly Connect truly shines, allowing users to automate tasks without coding. You can easily manage and create workflows that will handle document summarization seamlessly.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it something like ‘Generate Document Summary Using Gemini’. This name will help you identify the workflow later.

In this workflow, you will set up a trigger and action. The trigger will be Google Sheets, while the action will involve Google Generative AI and Google Docs. This combination allows Pabbly Connect to automate the summarization process as soon as new data is added to your Google Sheets.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’
• Name your workflow
• Set Google Sheets as the trigger

After setting up the trigger, you will be guided through the necessary steps to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. This will ensure that the automation runs smoothly whenever new content is added.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger

The next step involves configuring Google Sheets as the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means whenever you add new content, the trigger will activate.

Follow the instructions provided by Pabbly Connect to link your Google Sheets. You will need to copy the webhook URL provided and set it up in your Google Sheets add-ons. Install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on if you haven’t already.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event
• Copy the webhook URL for integration

After setting up the trigger, test it to ensure that Pabbly Connect is receiving data correctly from Google Sheets. This step is crucial for the automation process to work effectively.

4. Integrating Google Generative AI for Summarization

Once your trigger is set up, the next step is to integrate Google Generative AI into your workflow using Pabbly Connect. This AI model will generate summaries based on the content received from Google Sheets. Select Google Generative AI as your action application.

For the action event, choose ‘Generate Content’ and set up the connection using your API key from Google AI Studio. This key is essential for authenticating the requests made by Pabbly Connect to Google Generative AI.

Select Google Generative AI as the action application Choose ‘Generate Content’ as the action event Input your API key for authentication

After configuring the connection, create a prompt that instructs Google Generative AI to generate a summary of the text. This summary will then be sent to Google Docs, completing the automation process.

5. Adding the Generated Summary to Google Docs

The final step involves adding the generated summary into Google Docs through Pabbly Connect. Select Google Docs as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create Document’. This will create a new document with the summary generated by Google Generative AI.

Map the document title from Google Sheets and insert the summary content into the new document. This way, every new entry in Google Sheets will create a corresponding document in Google Docs with the summarized content.

Select Google Docs as the action application Choose ‘Create Document’ as the action event Map the title and summary for the new document

Once everything is set up, test the workflow to ensure that new summaries are being generated and added to Google Docs correctly. This finalizes the automation process using Pabbly Connect, making document summarization efficient and effortless.
