Once you have logged in, you will see various Pabbly applications. For this tutorial, select Pabbly Connect to start integrating your applications. Click on ‘Access Now’ to enter your workflow dashboard.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing your dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow and choose a folder to save it. For this integration, name your workflow ‘How to Create WordPress Post with Perplexity AI’ and select the folder named ‘Automations’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow window.
• This window will allow you to set triggers and actions.
• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.

In the trigger event, choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This step will set up the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect, allowing the automation to trigger whenever a new content request is added.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

After selecting Google Sheets as your trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect your Google Sheets to the workflow.

Open your Google Sheets, navigate to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installation, refresh your spreadsheet to ensure the add-on is active.

• Go back to ‘Extensions’, find ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and select ‘Initial Setup’.
• Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier.
• Set the trigger column to the final data column, typically column C.

Click ‘Submit’ to finalize the connection. This will ensure that any new entries in your Google Sheets will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Content with Perplexity AI

Next, you will set up an action in Pabbly Connect to generate content using Perplexity AI. Select Perplexity AI as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Chat Completion’. This will allow you to create a blog post based on the details from Google Sheets.

Connect your Perplexity AI account by providing the API key. To obtain the API key, log into your Perplexity AI account, navigate to the settings, and generate a new API key. Paste this key into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Map the product name, features, and title from your Google Sheets response. Set the prompt to generate a blog post focusing on these mapped details. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the content generation.

Upon successful completion, Pabbly Connect will generate a blog post content that can be used in your WordPress site.

5. Creating a WordPress Post Automatically

The final step is to create a new post in WordPress using the content generated by Perplexity AI. In Pabbly Connect, add another action and select WordPress as the application. Choose ‘Create a Post’ as the action event.

Connect your WordPress account by entering your WordPress email, password, and base URL (excluding any login paths). After saving the connection, map the post title and content from the previous steps to fill in the necessary fields.

Set the post status to ‘Published’ to make it live immediately. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post. Verify the post in your WordPress account.

Once confirmed, you can also add the post link back to your Google Sheets for easy access. This final integration showcases how Pabbly Connect enhances your workflow by automating the entire content creation process.
