• Set the trigger column, which should be the column where you will type ‘yes’ to activate the automation.

After setting up these details, test your connection by adding a new row in your Google Sheets. This will trigger Pabbly Connect to capture the data and initiate the workflow.

Next, you will integrate ChatGPT within Pabbly Connect to generate blog content automatically. Select ChatGPT as the action application and choose the event ‘Ask ChatGPT’. This allows you to send a prompt to ChatGPT to create an article based on the blog title from your Google Sheets.

When prompted, enter your OpenAI API token to connect ChatGPT to Pabbly Connect. Then, map the blog title from your Google Sheets to the prompt field, instructing ChatGPT to create an article with proper formatting and include the image URL.

4. Publishing the Article to WordPress

In this section, you will set up WordPress as the final action in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Choose WordPress as the action application and select ‘Create a Post’ as the action event. Connect your WordPress account by providing the necessary credentials and the base URL of your site.

Map the blog title and content generated by ChatGPT to the respective fields in the WordPress action setup. Ensure to set the post status to ‘publish’ to automatically publish the article on your WordPress site.

• Select the appropriate post type (e.g., blog post).
• Map the content generated by ChatGPT to the content field in WordPress.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the article.

Once the setup is complete, your article will be published automatically to WordPress whenever you enter ‘yes’ in your Google Sheets. This is how Pabbly Connect streamlines the entire publishing process.

5. Optional Steps for Enhanced Functionality

You can enhance your automation further by adding optional steps using Pabbly Connect. For instance, you can create a filter step that ensures the workflow only continues if the value in the trigger column is ‘yes’. This prevents unwanted content generation.

Additionally, you can set up another action to update your Google Sheets with the published blog link. This will help you keep track of all published articles in one place.

Add a filter step to check if the column value is ‘yes’. Connect Google Sheets again to update the existing row with the blog link. Map the published blog link to the appropriate column in your spreadsheet.

By implementing these optional steps, you can create a robust automation workflow using Pabbly Connect that not only publishes articles but also organizes your content efficiently.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the entire process of publishing articles on WordPress from Google Sheets and ChatGPT. This integration saves time and effort, allowing you to focus on creating quality content.
