To build an AI agent for WooCommerce product launch announcements, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect landing page. Here, you can either sign in if you already have an account or click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create a new account, which takes just a few minutes.

Once you are signed in, you will arrive at the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate your automation process. Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘AI Agent for New Product Announcement’, and select a folder to save it in. After clicking ‘Create’, your workflow will open with two windows: the trigger and action windows.

2. Setting Up WooCommerce Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up WooCommerce as the trigger app in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger window and search for WooCommerce. Select it and choose the trigger event as ‘New Product Created’. This event will notify Pabbly Connect whenever a new product is added to your WooCommerce store.

• Choose ‘New Product Created’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your WooCommerce settings in WordPress. Navigate to the ‘Advanced’ tab and click on ‘Webhooks’. Here, click on ‘Add Webhook’. Give it a name (e.g., ‘Pabbly Connect’), set the status to active, and select ‘Product Created’ as the topic. Paste the copied webhook URL in the delivery URL field and click on ‘Save Webhook’. This connects your WooCommerce store with Pabbly Connect.

3. Capturing Product Details from WooCommerce

After setting up the webhook, add a new product in your WooCommerce store to test the integration. Once the product is published, Pabbly Connect will capture the product details through the webhook. Go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Recapture Webhook Response’ button. This will allow you to see the details of the newly added product. using Pabbly Connect

In the response, you will find various details such as product name, description, SKU, price, and more. This data will be essential for creating the announcement email. Ensure that you have all necessary product information captured from WooCommerce to send a comprehensive email to your customers.

4. Integrating OpenAI to Generate Emails

Next, in the action window of Pabbly Connect, you will integrate OpenAI to generate the email content. Search for OpenAI and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT Structured AI Output’. Connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key, which you can obtain from your OpenAI dashboard.

• Select the AI model (e.g., GPT-4 Mini).
• Enter the system and user prompts to guide OpenAI in generating the email.
• Specify the response format as JSON to get structured data.

In the prompts, include product details such as name, description, and pricing. After entering the prompts, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. OpenAI will then generate the email subject line and body in HTML format, which you can use for your announcements.

5. Sending Emails Using Gmail

After generating the email content, the next step is to send it to your customers. In the action window, add another action step and select Google Sheets to retrieve user email addresses. Choose the action event as ‘Get Rows’ and connect your Google Sheets account.

After obtaining the user data, add an Iterator action step in Pabbly Connect to process each user’s data one by one. Finally, add Gmail as the last action step to send the email. Map the recipient email address from the iterator response and use the subject line and body generated by OpenAI. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email.

Check your Gmail inbox to confirm that the email has been sent successfully. The email should contain the product details and a link for customers to purchase the product directly from your WooCommerce store. This completes the automation process using Pabbly Connect.
