1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Newsletter Automation

To start using Pabbly Connect for automating your newsletter writing, sign in to your Pabbly Connect account. This platform allows you to seamlessly integrate various applications, making your workflow efficient. Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

Click on the big blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, let’s name it ‘Create Creative Content Using ChatGPT’. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed with the setup.

2. Configuring Google Sheets as the Trigger Application

In this step, we will set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This is essential for collecting the titles of the newsletters you want to create. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL that you need to copy. This URL will connect your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheets, navigate to Extensions, then Add-ons, and select ‘Get Add-ons’ to install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on. Once installed, go to the add-on and select ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column to the last updated column (e.g., column B).

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Paste the URL in the Initial Setup of the Google Sheets add-on.
• Set the trigger column to B or the last updated column.

After setting this up, click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure that the connection works. This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to receive data from your Google Sheets whenever a new row is added.

3. Generating Content with ChatGPT

Next, we will configure Pabbly Connect to generate content using ChatGPT. Select ChatGPT as your action application and choose the event ‘Ask ChatGPT’. You will need to create a new connection by providing your OpenAI API key. Click on the link to generate a new key and copy it into the Pabbly Connect setup.

Once the connection is established, you will set the prompt for ChatGPT. The prompt should include the title collected from Google Sheets. For instance, if your title is ‘Essay on Well Begun is Half Done’, input this as the prompt. After configuring the prompt, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the content.

• Select ChatGPT as the action application.
• Input your OpenAI API key to connect.
• Set the prompt using the title from Google Sheets.

After generating the content, you will receive a response containing the full essay. This content will be used in the next step to save it in Google Docs.

4. Saving Generated Content to Google Docs

In this section, we will use Pabbly Connect to save the generated content into Google Docs. Select Google Docs as your action application and choose the event ‘Create a Blank Document’. This step is crucial as it provides a space to store your generated content.

After creating the document, you will receive a document ID. You will then need to append the generated content to this document. For this, select Google Docs again as your action application and choose the event ‘Append a Paragraph to a Document’. Use the document ID you received from the previous step to ensure the content is saved correctly.

Choose Google Docs and create a blank document. Receive and store the document ID for later use. Append the generated content to the newly created document.

Once you have appended the content, you can check your Google Docs to verify that the essay has been successfully saved. This completes the integration process using Pabbly Connect.
