After logging in, you will see the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create workflows that will help automate your social media tasks, such as generating relevant hashtags for your posts. For this tutorial, we will create a workflow specifically for automated hashtag suggestions.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Name it ‘AI Agents for Automated Hashtag Suggestions on Social Media’ and select a folder to save it in. using Pabbly Connect

• Click on the dropdown to select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• You will now see the trigger and action windows for your workflow.

With your workflow created, you can now set up the trigger and action steps that will automate your hashtag generation process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger. For this automation, choose Google Sheets as the trigger application. Next, select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This means that whenever a new row is added or an existing row is updated in your Google Sheets, it will trigger the automation.

Pabbly Connect will then provide you with a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL, as you will need it to connect your Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Now, navigate to your Google Sheets and open the spreadsheet that you want to connect.

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
• Install the add-on if you haven’t already.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets.

Once the add-on is installed and the sheet is refreshed, you can proceed to set up the initial configuration for the webhook.

4. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

In Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and select the ‘Initial Setup’ option. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field. For the trigger column, specify the column that will contain the data you want to send to Pabbly Connect. In this case, it could be the post category column.

After entering the webhook URL and trigger column, click on the ‘Submit’ button. A confirmation message will appear indicating that your setup was successful. To ensure that new data entries trigger the webhook, enable the ‘Send on Event’ function from the same Pabbly Connect menu.

Now, your Google Sheets is successfully connected to Pabbly Connect, and it is ready to send data when new rows are added or updated. This connection allows you to automate the hashtag generation process seamlessly.

5. Generating Hashtags Using AI Agents with Pabbly Connect

Next, we will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect to generate hashtags. For the action application, select OpenAI and the action event as ‘ChatGPT.’ This will allow you to utilize AI to generate high-ranking hashtags based on the post content you enter in Google Sheets. using Pabbly Connect

To establish the connection, you will need an API token from OpenAI. Click on the provided hyperlink to create a new secret key in your OpenAI account. After generating the key, copy and paste it into the token field in Pabbly Connect.

Select the AI model you want to use for generating hashtags, such as GPT-4. Write a prompt to guide the AI in generating relevant hashtags. Map the data from the previous step to provide context for the AI.

Once the AI generates the hashtags, you will set up another action step to update the generated hashtags back into your Google Sheets. This two-step process ensures your posts are always optimized with the best hashtags automatically.
