To begin automating lead nurturing, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page by searching for ‘Pabbly.com/connect/inr’ in your browser. You will see options to either sign in or sign up for free.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to explore the application with hundreds of free tasks monthly. Existing users can click on ‘Sign in’ to access their accounts. After signing in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard to create your automation workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Within your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Automate Lead Nurturing with AI Agents Using Pabbly for Maximum Impact’ and select the appropriate folder to save it.

After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button. This will open the workflow window, where you can set up your triggers and actions. The trigger is the event that starts your workflow, while actions are the responses to that trigger.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow and select a folder.
• Set up triggers and actions in the workflow window.

With this setup, you are prepared to select a trigger application to initiate the automation process.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as Trigger

In this step, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Search for ‘Google Sheets’ and select it as your trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Rows’ to capture any new lead entries.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL to establish a connection between Google Sheets and your Pabbly Connect workflow. Open your Google Sheets account, navigate to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’ to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Rows’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension.

After installing the extension, refresh your Google Sheets to access the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option and proceed with the initial setup.

4. Initial Setup in Google Sheets

Once you have the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension installed, navigate to the initial setup section in Google Sheets. Here, paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which should be your final data column (e.g., column E).

After entering the trigger column, click on the ‘Submit’ button. You will see a confirmation message indicating that the setup was configured successfully. This means that your Google Sheets is now connected to Pabbly Connect, and it is ready to send data to your workflow.

Paste the webhook URL in the initial setup. Specify the trigger column (e.g., E). Click on ‘Submit’ to complete the setup.

Now, your workflow will trigger whenever a new lead is added to your Google Sheets, allowing you to automate the lead nurturing process effectively.

5. Integrating OpenAI for Email Generation

Next, you will integrate OpenAI as the action application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Search for ‘OpenAI’ and select it. For the action event, choose ‘Chat GPT’. After clicking on ‘Connect’, you will need to add a new connection by providing the OpenAI API key.

To get the API key, follow the provided link to the OpenAI API key page. Create a new secret key by naming it (e.g., AI Agent) and clicking on ‘Create Secret Key’. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Select OpenAI as the action application. Choose ‘Chat GPT’ as the action event. Obtain and enter the OpenAI API key.

Once your OpenAI account is connected, you can set up prompts to generate personalized email subjects and bodies for your leads, enhancing your lead nurturing strategy significantly.
