To obtain the API key, log into your Google Gemini account and navigate to the Google AI Studio. Click on ‘Get API Key’ and create a new API key for your project.

• Set the action event to ‘Generate Content’.
• Map the post title from Google Sheets into the content prompt for Google Gemini.

In the prompt, specify that the AI should create a unique and engaging description based on the title provided. This will ensure that your LinkedIn posts are not only automated but also relevant and tailored to your brand’s voice.

4. Creating the LinkedIn Post with Pabbly Connect

Once the content is generated, the final step is to create the post on LinkedIn using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select LinkedIn as the action application. Choose ‘Share Text with Image’ as the action event. Connect your LinkedIn account to Pabbly Connect by logging in and granting the necessary permissions.

In this step, map the generated content and the image URL from the previous steps into the LinkedIn post fields. Ensure that the post visibility is set to Pabbly so that it reaches your audience. After mapping all the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test’. This will create the post on your LinkedIn account automatically.

Select LinkedIn as the action application. Choose ‘Share Text with Image’ as the action event. Map the required fields including post title, description, and image URL.
