1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin the process of creating WordPress posts using ChatGPT, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the URL Pabbly.com/connect. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up. If you are an existing user, click on the sign-in option to access your dashboard.

Once logged in, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ option on the right-hand side of the dashboard. Click on this button to initiate the setup process for your automation workflow. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Create WordPress Post with ChatGPT Responses Generated from Google Sheets’.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger application option and select ‘Google Sheets’. The trigger event will be ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that every time a new row is added, Pabbly Connect will initiate the workflow.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge, allowing Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets data. Copy the webhook URL and proceed to your Google Sheets document. Make sure you have installed the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace if you haven’t already.

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets page.

Once refreshed, navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the copied webhook URL here and set the trigger column to the column where your data will be added. Click on submit to complete this setup.

3. Generating Essay Content Using ChatGPT

With Google Sheets set up, the next step is to generate essay content using ChatGPT through Pabbly Connect. Select ChatGPT as your action application and choose the action event ‘Ask ChatGPT’. You will need to connect your ChatGPT account by adding a new connection.

To establish this connection, you will require an API key from your OpenAI account. Click on the hyperlink provided in Pabbly Connect to access your API keys. Create a new secret key, name it, and copy it back to Pabbly Connect. Once the connection is established, select the AI model you wish to use, preferably the latest GPT 3.5 Turbo.

• Map the essay topic from the Google Sheets data.
• Specify the length of the essay, for example, ‘Write an essay in 200 words’.
• Send the request to ChatGPT and receive the generated content.

This content will be used to create a new post in WordPress. Ensure that the response from ChatGPT is satisfactory before proceeding to the next step.

4. Creating a WordPress Post with Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the essay content ready, it is time to create a post in WordPress using Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Post’. You will need to connect your WordPress account by providing your username, password, and base URL.

Once connected, you will need to map the post details. Set the post type to ‘Post’ and map the post title and content from the previous ChatGPT step. You can also set the status to ‘Publish’ to make the post live immediately. Make sure to fill in any additional fields such as categories or tags if needed.

Select the post type as ‘Post’. Map the post title to the essay topic. Map the post content to the generated essay.

After filling in the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Verify that the post has been successfully created in your WordPress account.

5. Updating Google Sheets with the WordPress Post Link

The final step in this workflow is to update your Google Sheets with the newly created WordPress post link using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets again as your action application and choose the action event ‘Update Cell Value’. Connect your Google Sheets account if prompted.

In this step, specify the spreadsheet name and the cell range where you want to insert the post link. The cell format should be in the form of column name and row index. For example, if you want to update column B with the post link, set the range accordingly.

Select the spreadsheet name as ‘Auto Generated Essay Content’. Set the range to column B and the corresponding row index. Map the post link from the previous WordPress step.

Once all details are filled in, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to update the Google Sheets with the WordPress post link. This completes the automation process.
