1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating your tasks, access Pabbly Connect by signing up for a free account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard, where you can create your first workflow. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications such as Google Sheets and OpenAI.

After logging in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to set up your automation. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For example, you can name it ‘Recipe Automation with OpenAI’. This will help you identify the workflow later. Choose an appropriate name that reflects the integration you plan to set up.

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

In this section, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application. Start by selecting Google Sheets from the application menu in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event should be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that every time a new recipe title is added to your spreadsheet, it will trigger the automation.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for integration.

Once you have copied the webhook URL, open your Google Sheets document. Go to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ add-on and install it. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to enable the add-on.

3. Connecting OpenAI to Generate Content Automatically

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to connect OpenAI as the action application. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI and choose the action event ‘Generate Content’. This action will allow you to create recipes based on the titles added to your Google Sheets.

To connect OpenAI, you will need to provide your API key. Log in to your OpenAI account, navigate to the API keys section, and generate a new key if necessary. Copy this key and paste it into the Pabbly Connect interface to establish the connection.

• Select OpenAI as the action application.
• Choose ‘Generate Content’ as the action event.
• Map the recipe title from Google Sheets to the OpenAI prompt.

Once connected, you can specify the prompt for OpenAI, such as ‘Generate a recipe for [recipe title]’. This mapping ensures that the title from your spreadsheet is used to generate the corresponding recipe content automatically.

4. Sharing Generated Recipes on Facebook

The final step in this automation is to share the generated recipes on Facebook. To do this, add Facebook Pages as another action in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event ‘Create Page Post’. This allows you to publish the generated recipe directly to your selected Facebook page.

When connecting to Facebook, ensure you have the necessary permissions granted to Pabbly Connect. After connecting, you will need to specify the message and the link to the recipe image or content generated by OpenAI. Map these fields accordingly to ensure the correct data is posted.

Select Facebook Pages as the action application. Choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event. Map the recipe content and image URL to the post fields.

After mapping the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish your first recipe post. Verify on your Facebook page that the post appears with the correct content and image.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Recipe Links

To complete the workflow, you can also update your Google Sheets with the links to the generated recipes. This ensures that you have a record of all the recipes created. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step to update the cell value in Google Sheets.

Choose Google Sheets as the application and select the action event ‘Update Cell Value’. Map the document link generated by OpenAI to the appropriate cell in your spreadsheet. This will help you keep track of the recipes and their links conveniently.

Select Google Sheets as the final action application. Choose ‘Update Cell Value’ as the action event. Map the recipe link to the corresponding cell in your sheet.

After completing this setup, your Google Sheets will be updated with links to each recipe generated, ensuring easy access and organization of your content.
