1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Blog Automation

To begin automating your blog writing process, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Google Sheets, ChatGPT, and Google Docs. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect and navigate to the dashboard.

Once you are on the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Automation’ button. You will need to name your workflow, such as ‘Google Sheets to OpenAI to Google Docs.’ Choose the folder where you want to save this automation and click on ‘Create’. This setup will lay the foundation for connecting all necessary applications.

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

Next, you will configure Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This means that whenever you add a new row in your Google Sheet with blog details, it will automatically trigger the workflow. To do this, select Google Sheets from the ‘Choose App’ search bar.

• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• In Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ to install it.

After installing, go back to your Google Sheet, click on Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Here, paste the webhook URL, select the sheet you are using, and specify the trigger column. Once this setup is complete, your Google Sheet will effectively communicate with Pabbly Connect.

3. Generating Blog Content with ChatGPT through Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step involves sending the blog details to ChatGPT for content generation. In the Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select OpenAI as the app. Choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’.

To connect ChatGPT, you will need your OpenAI API key. Log into your OpenAI account, create a new secret key, and paste it into Pabbly Connect. After connecting, set the AI model to GPT-4 and create a prompt that includes the blog title and description from your Google Sheets.

• Map the title and description fields from the Google Sheets response.
• Specify additional instructions for tone and language.

Once you have configured these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will generate the blog content based on the details you provided.

4. Creating Google Docs with the Generated Content

With the blog content generated, the next step is to create a Google Doc using this content. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Docs as the app. Choose the action event as ‘Create Document from Template’.

Connect your Google Docs account and select the template you wish to use. Map the title, description, and blog content fields from the previous step into the template variables. Specify where the newly created document should be saved in your Google Drive.

After mapping the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will create a new document in Google Docs with the content generated by ChatGPT, ready for you to review and edit as needed.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Document Links

The final step in your automation workflow is to update the Google Sheets with the links to the newly created document and the AI-generated image. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Sheets again, choosing the action event as ‘Update Spreadsheet Row’.

Connect your Google Sheets account and select the spreadsheet that contains the blog details. Map the row index from the trigger step so that you update the correct row. Then, map the document link and image link fields.

Ensure the document link is dynamically generated based on the document ID. Insert the image link received from the image generation step.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the updates. Now, your Google Sheet will display the links to both the document and the generated image, completing the automation process.

Conclusion

This comprehensive tutorial demonstrates how Pabbly Connect can automate the entire blog writing process by integrating Google Sheets, ChatGPT, and Google Docs. By following these steps, you can efficiently generate and manage blog content in minutes.
