1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect for article generation, you need to access the platform. As an existing user, sign in to your account. If you’re new, click on the sign-up button to register and get 100 free tasks monthly.

Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner to begin setting up your integration. You will name your workflow, for example, ‘Autogenerate Articles Using Anthropic CLA AI,’ and select the appropriate folder for organization.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Search for Google Sheets in the trigger application section. The trigger event you need to select is ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This will initiate the workflow whenever a new row is added or an existing row is updated.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After setting this up, navigate to your Google Sheets document. Here, go to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and then click on Initial Setup. Paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which should be the final data column. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture new entries in your Google Sheets automatically.

3. Autogenerating Articles Using Anthropic via Pabbly Connect

Next, you will integrate Anthropic to generate articles based on the titles added in Google Sheets. In the action window of Pabbly Connect, search for Anthropic and select it as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Completion’ to generate an article based on the provided prompt.

Connect to Anthropic by entering your API key. If you have an existing connection, you can use that. In the prompt field, write ‘Write an article on the topic’ and map the topic from the Google Sheets data. Set the maximum tokens to 350 and the temperature to 1 for more creative output.

After configuring these settings, click on Save and Send Test Request. You should receive a successful response with the generated article. This step ensures that every new title added to Google Sheets results in an automatically generated article using Anthropic through Pabbly Connect.

4. Creating and Inserting the Article into Google Docs

Now that you have the article generated, it’s time to create a Google Document and insert the article text. Search for Google Docs in the action application section of Pabbly Connect and select the action event ‘Create a Blank Document.’ Connect your Google account to establish the connection.

When prompted, map the document name to the title of the article generated. This ensures that each document is named appropriately based on the title input from Google Sheets. After saving and sending the test request, a new blank document will be created in Google Docs.

• Select Google Docs as the action application.
• Choose ‘Create a Blank Document’ as the action event.
• Map the document name to the article title.

Once this step is completed, you can proceed to insert the generated article text into the newly created document using another Google Docs action in Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Adding Content to Google Docs

To finalize the integration, you will add the generated article content to the Google Document. Again, select Google Docs in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Append a Paragraph to a Document.’ This action allows you to insert the article text into the document created earlier.

Ensure that you map the document ID from the previous steps and insert the generated article text into the appropriate field. Once you have configured this step, click on Save and Send Test Request. You should see a successful response confirming that the article has been added to the document.

This completes the integration process. Now, every time a new title is added to Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will automate the generation of an article through Anthropic and insert it into a new Google Document, streamlining your content creation process.
