1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect for automated blog summarization, first, access the platform by visiting Pabbly Connect in your browser. Click on the ‘Sign In’ button if you are an existing user or ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create a new account. New users get 100 free tasks monthly to explore the application.

Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard where all Pabbly applications are listed. Select Pabbly Connect to begin creating your automation workflow. The first step is to click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, where you will name your workflow and choose a folder to save it in.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with WordPress

In this section, we will set up the trigger application using WordPress. Select ‘WordPress’ as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New Post Published’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to detect whenever a new blog post is published on your WordPress site.

• Search for ‘WordPress’ and select it.
• Choose ‘New Post Published’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for use in WordPress.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your WordPress admin area and install the VP Webhooks plugin. Once installed, navigate to the plugin settings and add the webhook URL you copied earlier. This connection enables Pabbly Connect to receive data from WordPress whenever a new post is published.

3. Automating Blog Summarization with Open AI

Next, we will use an AI agent to summarize the blog content. In Pabbly Connect, select Open AI as your action application and choose ‘Generate Summary’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Open AI account by entering your API key.

To get your API key, visit the Open AI API keys page, create a new key, and copy it. Paste this key into the connection settings in Pabbly Connect. Once connected, set up the prompt for summarization, mapping the blog title and link from the previous step’s response.

• Select the AI model (e.g., GPT-4) for summarization.
• Map the blog title and link in the prompt for dynamic content.

After setting the prompt, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to see if the AI generates the summary correctly. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect is effectively communicating with the AI agent.

4. Sending Newsletters via Gmail

Once the blog summarization is set up, the next step is to send the generated summaries to your audience via email. In Pabbly Connect, add a new action step and select Gmail as the application for sending emails.

Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event and connect your Gmail account. You will need to allow Pabbly Connect access to your Gmail account by signing in and granting permissions. After connecting, map the recipient’s email address from the iterator step, along with the email subject and content generated by Open AI.

Map the recipient’s email from the iterator response. Set the email subject and body using the generated summary.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the email is sent successfully. This automation allows Pabbly Connect to send personalized summaries to all recipients in your Google Sheets list.
