1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for YouTube Automation

To automate replies to YouTube comments using Google Generative AI, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create workflows without any coding skills. Simply visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign in or sign up for free.

After signing in, you will reach the dashboard where you can create new workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and a dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Auto Reply to YouTube Comments Using Google Generative AI’ and select a folder for organization.


2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be based on new comments received on your YouTube videos. Select YouTube as the trigger application and choose the ‘New Comment’ event.

  • Select the YouTube account you want to connect.
  • Allow Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account by clicking ‘Continue’.
  • Choose the specific video you want to monitor for comments.

After setting up the trigger, save and send a test request to ensure that Pabbly Connect successfully captures the new comment data. This verifies that your connection between YouTube and Pabbly Connect is working correctly.


3. Generating Replies Using Google Generative AI

Once the trigger is set, the next step is to generate replies for the comments using Google Generative AI. In this step, you will select Google Generative AI as the action application in Pabbly Connect.

Choose the action event as ‘Generate Content’. To establish a connection, you will need to provide an API key from your Google AI Studio account. Follow these steps to get your API key:

  • Log into your Google AI Studio account.
  • Create a new API key by selecting your project.
  • Copy the generated API key and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

After connecting your Google Generative AI account, set up the text model by selecting ‘Gemini 1.0 Pro’ and providing a prompt that describes your YouTube channel and the nature of the comments. This will help the AI generate relevant replies.


4. Posting Replies Back to YouTube

In this step, you will configure the final action in your workflow to post the generated replies back to the YouTube comments. Again, select YouTube as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the ‘Reply to Comment’ action event.

Map the reply generated by Google Generative AI to the reply field in Pabbly Connect. Additionally, map the comment ID from the trigger step to ensure that the reply is posted to the correct comment. This allows for dynamic responses to each new comment.

Finally, save and send a test request to ensure that the reply is successfully posted back to YouTube. Check your YouTube video to confirm that the automated reply appears under the respective comment.
