This action initiates the automation process using Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up the Airtable Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up Airtable as the trigger application within Pabbly Connect. Choose Airtable from the application list and select the event ‘New Record’. This event will trigger the automation whenever a new record is added to your Airtable base.

• You will need to enter an API token from your Airtable account.
• Create a new token in Airtable’s Developer Hub and ensure you select all necessary scopes.

After entering the token, click ‘Save’. Your Airtable account is now connected to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to fetch new records as they are created.

3. Generating Content with ChatGPT

After setting up the trigger, the next action is to generate content using ChatGPT. Select ChatGPT as the action application and choose the event ‘Ask ChatGPT’. This will allow you to create content based on the title from the new Airtable record.

Connect your ChatGPT account by adding a new connection and entering your OpenAI API key. Once connected, you can specify the prompt that ChatGPT will use to generate content. For example, you can input a command like ‘Generate a phrase about hard work’. Click ‘Save’ to send the test request.

• Ensure to format the response correctly by removing any unwanted characters.
• Use the formatted text as input for the next step in your workflow.

Now, you have the generated content ready to be used in the video creation process, facilitated by Pabbly Connect.

4. Creating Videos Using Creatomate

With the content generated from ChatGPT, the next step is to create a video using Creatomate. Select Creatomate as the action application and choose the event ‘Create Single Render’. Connect your Creatomate account by adding a new connection and entering your API key.

Once connected, you will need to select a template for your video. For instance, choose a template like ‘Big Quote with Image’. Map the content generated by ChatGPT to the appropriate fields in the template. This allows you to customize the video with the generated text.

Finally, click ‘Save and send test request’ to create the video. You will receive a response containing the video link. This process demonstrates how Pabbly Connect seamlessly integrates the functionalities of ChatGPT and Creatomate to automate video creation.

5. Updating Airtable Records with Video Links

The last step in this automation is to update the Airtable record with the link to the newly created video. Select Airtable again as your action application and choose the event ‘Update Record’. Connect to your existing Airtable connection.

Map the record ID from the new record and input the video link into the appropriate field in Airtable. Click ‘Save and send test request’ to update the record. This ensures that the Airtable entry now contains the link to the generated video, completing the loop of automation.

With this setup, you can efficiently manage your video content creation process using Pabbly Connect, ChatGPT, and Creatomate. The automation enhances productivity and streamlines your workflow by integrating these powerful tools.
