1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating applications, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks monthly.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will find various Pabbly applications. Click on Pabbly Connect to access the integration features. Here, you can create workflows that automate tasks between different applications.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to automate the process of generating WordPress posts. Click on the Pabbly Connect dashboard and select the option to create a new workflow. You will be prompted to name your workflow and choose a folder to save it in.

• Name the workflow: ‘Create WordPress Post with Perplexity AI’
• Select the folder: Choose ‘Automations’

After naming the workflow, click on the create button to open the workflow window. This window is where you will set up the trigger and action for your automation. Remember, the trigger initiates the process, while the action follows the command.

3. Setting Up the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

For this workflow, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application. This means that whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheet, it will trigger the workflow. Search for Google Sheets in the trigger application field.

Once selected, choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. Pabbly Connect will provide a Webhook URL, which you will need to copy. This URL will connect your Google Sheets to the Pabbly Connect workflow.

• Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Open Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheet and set up the Webhook URL in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks settings.

Once set up, test the connection to ensure it works correctly. You should see a success message indicating that your Google Sheets is now connected to Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up the Action Application: Perplexity AI

After successfully setting your trigger with Google Sheets, the next step is to set up the action application, which will be Perplexity AI. This application will generate the content for your WordPress post based on the data from the Google Sheet.

Select Perplexity AI as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Chat Completion’. You will need to connect your Perplexity AI account by entering the API key, which you can find in your account settings on Perplexity AI.

Enter your API key to connect Perplexity AI with Pabbly Connect. Set the content prompt for the AI to generate, using dynamic fields from the Google Sheets response. Test the action to ensure the content is generated successfully.

Once the content is generated, it will be ready to be sent to your WordPress site. Make sure to save the action settings in Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the WordPress Post Creation

The last step in this integration is to connect to your WordPress account and create a new post using the content generated by Perplexity AI. Select WordPress as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create a Post’.

Connect your WordPress account by entering your WordPress credentials and the base URL of your site. Then, map the title and content fields to the corresponding fields from the Perplexity AI response. Ensure the post status is set to ‘Published’ if you want it to go live immediately.

Map the title from the Google Sheets response. Map the content generated by Perplexity AI. Test the action to ensure the post is created successfully in WordPress.

After testing, you will see a confirmation message that the post has been created. You can then check your WordPress account to verify that the new post appears as expected. This seamless integration is made possible through Pabbly Connect.
