Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. Sign up for a free account if you are a new user or log in if you already have an account. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create workflows for automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To set up your automation, you need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner of the dashboard. Give your workflow a meaningful name, such as ‘Automate Content Creation and Social Media Posting Using AI Agent’.

• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Choose a trigger application, which in this case will be Google Sheets.
• Set the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

After setting up the trigger, you can proceed to connect your Google Sheets account with Pabbly Connect. This allows you to capture data from Google Sheets automatically.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the Pabbly Connect add-on in your Google Sheets account. Click on Extensions, select Add-ons, and then Get Add-ons. Search for Pabbly Connect and install it.

Once installed, refresh your Google Sheets. Go back to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, and select Google Sheets as your trigger application. You will need to enter the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect into the Google Sheets add-on settings.

4. Generating Content Using OpenAI

After connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to generate content using OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. In your workflow, add an action step and select OpenAI as the application. Choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’ to generate content based on inputs from your Google Sheets.

• Map the fields from Google Sheets to the OpenAI prompt.
• Set the prompt to generate engaging content for social media posts.
• Save the action step to proceed with the integration.

This integration allows you to automate the creation of content for your social media platforms directly from the data entered in Google Sheets.

5. Posting to Facebook and Instagram

Now that you have generated content using OpenAI, the final step is to post this content to Facebook and Instagram using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step in your workflow and select Facebook as your application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Page Photo Post’.

Similarly, add another action step for Instagram, selecting it as your application and the action event as ‘Publish Photo’. Map the content generated by OpenAI to both social media platforms, ensuring that the same engaging content is shared across both channels.

Once everything is set up, you can test your workflow to ensure that posts are created successfully on both platforms. This automation not only saves time but also ensures consistency in your social media presence.
