1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Newsletter Creation

To start producing creative newsletters using Pabbly Connect, first, visit the Pabbly Connect website by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. This will take you to the landing page of the platform.

On the right-hand side, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free. If you’re new, creating an account is quick and grants you 100 free tasks. Once logged in, you will be directed to the all apps page, where you can access Pabbly Connect to begin setting up your workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Google Sheets, OpenAI, Google Docs Integration’. This will help you identify the workflow later.

Next, you will encounter two main components: the trigger and the action. Here, choose Google Sheets as your trigger application. Select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will initiate your workflow whenever there is a new entry in your Google Sheets.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL and open your Google Sheets document where you have your newsletter titles. Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons to find and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on if you haven’t already.

• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.
• Go back to Extensions and select Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
• Click on Initial Setup and paste the copied webhook URL.
• Set the trigger column to Column B, which contains your newsletter titles.

After pasting the URL, click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection works. Once the test is successful, you can submit the setup. This step ensures that your Google Sheets is now integrated with Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Newsletter Content Using OpenAI

With your Google Sheets set up, the next step is to generate content using OpenAI. In Pabbly Connect, add OpenAI as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘Generate Content’. You will need to connect your OpenAI account by providing a secret key.

To get this key, log into your OpenAI account, navigate to the API section, and copy your secret key. Go back to Pabbly Connect, paste the key, and click on ‘Save’. After connecting, you will see options to select the AI model, prompt, and maximum tokens for your content generation.

5. Creating and Appending Content to Google Docs

After generating the content, the final step is to create a Google Document and append the generated newsletter content to it. In Pabbly Connect, add Google Docs as another action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create a Blank Document’.

Connect your Google Docs account, and for the document name, map it to the title from your Google Sheets. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the document. Next, you will append the generated content to this document by selecting the action event ‘Append a Paragraph to a Document’.

Map the document ID and the content you generated earlier. Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again. This completes the integration, and your newsletter will now automatically populate in Google Docs whenever you add a new title in Google Sheets.

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrated how to produce creative newsletters using Pabbly Connect to integrate Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Google Docs seamlessly. By following these steps, you can automate your newsletter creation process effectively.
