1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating the creation of Google Documents from Google Sheets, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for integrating various applications seamlessly.

Once you log into your Pabbly Connect account, you can easily create a free account if you haven’t done so already. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation.

2. Setting Up Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will name your workflow and select a folder for it in Pabbly Connect. Name it something descriptive, such as ‘Create Google Documents from Google Sheets using OpenAI’.

• Select the folder to store your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

After the workflow is created, you will see two boxes: Trigger and Action. The Trigger box is where you will specify the event that initiates the automation, while the Action box will define what happens afterward.

3. Connecting Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Now, select Google Sheets as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This ensures that whenever a new row is added in your Google Sheets, it will trigger the automation.

Copy the provided webhook URL and head to your Google Sheets. Go to the ‘Add-ons’ menu, search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on, and install it if you haven’t already. Then, configure the add-on by pasting the webhook URL into the setup section.

• Specify the trigger column that will activate the automation.
• Send a test to ensure the connection is successful.

Once the test is successful, your Google Sheets will be connected to Pabbly Connect, ready to capture data in real-time.

4. Using OpenAI to Generate Content

Next, you will integrate OpenAI with Pabbly Connect to generate content based on the topics from Google Sheets. Select OpenAI as the action application and connect it using your API key.

Map the topic data from the Google Sheets step to the prompt field in OpenAI. This will instruct OpenAI to create content based on the provided topic. Specify any additional parameters such as image URLs or formatting requirements in the prompt.

Choose the AI model you wish to use. Test the OpenAI integration to ensure content is generated correctly.

After testing, you will receive the generated content which can then be used to create a Google Document.

5. Creating Google Documents from Generated Content

Finally, you will create a Google Document using the content generated by OpenAI. Select Google Drive as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the ‘Create a File in a Specific Folder’ option.

Map the content generated from OpenAI to the file content field and specify the folder where you want to save the document. Make sure to test this action to confirm that the document is created successfully in your Google Drive.

Select the specific folder in Google Drive for the document. Map the file name based on the topic from Google Sheets.

Once everything is set up and tested, your automation is complete. You can now sit back and let Pabbly Connect handle the process of creating Google Documents from Google Sheets data automatically.
