1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate the process of writing YouTube scripts for product launches, we start by using Pabbly Connect. First, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website and log into your account or sign up for a free trial if you are a new user. Once logged in, you will be taken to the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name and folder selection. Enter a name like ‘AI Agent to Write YouTube Scripts for Product Launches’ and choose an appropriate folder to save your workflow. Finally, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Triggering Automation with Google Sheets

The next step involves setting up the trigger for our automation, which will be done using Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your trigger application. The event you want to choose is ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will allow you to capture data whenever a new product entry is made in your spreadsheet.

After selecting Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Now, log into your Google Sheets and follow these steps to set up the connection:

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.
• After installation, refresh your spreadsheet and go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

In the Initial Setup dialog, paste the webhook URL into the designated field and specify the trigger column, which should be the final data column (e.g., Column F for keywords). Click ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup. Ensure you enable the ‘Send on Event’ option so that new data entries trigger the webhook.

3. Generating the YouTube Script Using AI Agent

With the trigger set up, the next step is to generate the YouTube script using an AI agent. For this, you will select OpenAI as the action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event to choose is ‘ChatGPT’. Click on the ‘Connect’ button, and either create a new connection or select an existing one.

When creating a new connection, you will need an API token from OpenAI. Follow the prompts to generate a new secret key in your OpenAI account and paste it into the token field in Pabbly Connect. Once connected, you will specify the AI model (e.g., GPT-4) and set up the prompt for the script generation.

• Define the product name and description in the prompt.
• Include keywords that will be used in the script.
• Specify any formatting requirements, such as avoiding headings or symbols.

After setting up the prompt, click on ‘Send Test Request’ to generate the script. You should receive a response containing the generated script content.

4. Creating a Document in Google Docs

Now that you have the script generated by the AI agent, the next step is to create a Google Docs document to store this script. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Docs as the application. Choose the action event ‘Create Document from Template’.

Connect your Google Docs account by signing in and granting necessary permissions. Select the template you want to use (e.g., ‘YouTube Script Template’) and specify the new document’s name by mapping the product name and adding a suffix like ‘YouTube Script’. Choose the folder where the document will be saved in your Google Drive.

Map the dynamic fields in your template for product name, keywords, and script content. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the document. Check your Google Drive to confirm the document has been created.

Once the document is created, you will receive a document ID as confirmation.

5. Sharing the Document and Updating Google Sheets

After creating the Google Docs document, you will want to share it with your team. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Drive. The action event will be ‘Share a File with Anyone’. Connect your Google Drive account if not already connected.

For the file ID, map the document ID received from the previous step. This will allow you to make the document accessible to anyone with the link. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to execute this step. You should receive a confirmation response indicating that the document is now shareable.

Check the document in Google Drive to ensure it is set to ‘Anyone with the link can view’. Update your Google Sheets with the link to the shared document.

To update Google Sheets, add another action step, select Google Sheets, and choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event. Map the necessary fields, including the link to the document, to keep a record of all scripts generated.
