Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Blog Automation

To start automating your blog post creation, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform will be the backbone of your integration process, allowing you to connect Google Sheets with ChatGPT and Google Docs seamlessly. Begin by creating an account on Pabbly Connect if you haven’t already.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Automation’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Sheets to OpenAI to Google Docs’. This naming convention helps keep your automations organized. After naming your workflow, select the folder in your Pabbly Connect account where you want to save it and click on ‘Create’.


Triggering Automation with Google Sheets in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This means that every time you add a new row in Google Sheets, it will trigger the blog creation process. Search for Google Sheets in the app selection and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

  • Select your Google Sheets account.
  • Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
  • Go to your Google Sheet, navigate to Extensions, then Add-ons, and select Pabbly Connect Webhooks.

After setting up the webhook, you will need to refresh your Google Sheet. This ensures that the integration is active and ready to capture data when a new blog post title, description, and image prompt are added.


Connecting ChatGPT to Generate Blog Content

Once Google Sheets is set up as the trigger, the next step is to connect ChatGPT to generate your blog content using Pabbly Connect. In the action step, search for OpenAI or ChatGPT and select the action event as ‘Generate Content’. This is where the magic happens, as you will use the details from your Google Sheet to generate a blog post.

To connect ChatGPT, you will need an API key from your OpenAI account. Log into OpenAI, navigate to the API section, and create a new secret key. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

  • Select the AI model (e.g., GPT-4).
  • Input the prompt using the title and description from Google Sheets.
  • Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the blog content.

After successfully generating the content, you will receive a response that contains the blog post text, which will later be used to populate your Google Docs template.


Generating Images with OpenAI DALL-E

Now that you have the blog content ready, the next step is to generate an image using OpenAI’s DALL-E through Pabbly Connect. This step is crucial for enhancing your blog post visually. Search for OpenAI in the action step and select ‘Generate Image’ as the action event.

Once connected, you will need to provide the image prompt from your Google Sheet. Specify the model (DALL-E 3, for instance) and select the number of images to generate. After setting this up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the image. The response will include the image URL, which you will use in your Google Sheet.


Creating a Google Docs Document

The final step in this automation process involves creating a new document in Google Docs using the content and image generated earlier. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Docs. Choose the action event as ‘Create Document from Template’.

Connect your Google Docs account and select the template you want to use. Map the title, description, and blog content from the previous steps into the respective fields. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the document, which will be stored in your specified Google Drive folder.

After the document is created, you can update the Google Sheet with links to the newly created document and the generated image. This completes the automation process, allowing you to create blog posts efficiently with the help of Pabbly Connect.
