1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Quiz Generation

To automatically generate quiz questions using Pabbly Connect, start by accessing the Pabbly Connect platform. Open your browser and go to the Pabbly Connect landing page. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for free. If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create an account.

Once signed in, navigate to your dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate a new automation. You will be prompted to name your workflow and choose a folder for it.

This setup is crucial for organizing your automations in Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This allows the workflow to be activated whenever new data is added to your spreadsheet.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for later use.

After copying the webhook URL, open your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. Once installed, refresh your spreadsheet to see the new options. This integration is essential for sending data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring the Webhook in Google Sheets

With the Pabbly Connect Webhooks installed, go back to your spreadsheet and access the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option. Under ‘Initial Setup’, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column where data will be entered. This setup ensures that every time you add data in the specified column, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

For the trigger column, select the column that contains your quiz details, such as topic, difficulty, and question type. Click on the submit button to save your configuration. This step is vital as it establishes the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect.

• Paste the webhook URL in the Initial Setup.
• Specify the trigger column for data entry.
• Click submit to finalize the setup.

After setting up the webhook, enable the ‘Send On Event’ option in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks menu. This ensures that whenever you add a new row in your spreadsheet, the information is sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.

4. Generating Quiz Questions with AI Agent

Now that you have configured Google Sheets, it’s time to generate quiz questions using the AI agent integrated with Pabbly Connect. For the action application, select OpenAI and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT’. This integration allows you to utilize the AI capabilities to create quiz questions based on the data from your spreadsheet.

Connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key. If you don’t have an API key, navigate to the OpenAI API key page to generate one. Once connected, configure the action by setting the AI model to GPT-4 and entering the prompt for question generation. Use mapping to dynamically insert the topic, difficulty, and question type from the trigger step.

Select OpenAI as the action application. Choose ‘Chat GPT’ as the action event. Map the quiz details from Google Sheets to the prompt.

After entering the required information, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. The AI agent will generate quiz questions based on the provided inputs. This step showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in automating quiz creation efficiently.

5. Finalizing the Quiz Setup and Sharing

Once the quiz questions are generated, the next step is to store them in Google Docs. Select Google Docs as the action application and choose ‘Create a Blank Document’ as the action event. Connect your Google Docs account by signing in with your Gmail account and granting necessary permissions. This integration allows you to save the generated questions in a document.

After creating the document, you can append the questions generated by the AI agent into this Google Doc. Select Google Docs again and choose ‘Append a Paragraph to a Document’ as the action event. Map the document ID from the previous step and insert the content generated by OpenAI. This allows for seamless integration of generated questions into your document.

Create a blank document in Google Docs. Append the generated questions to the document. Make the document shareable via Google Drive.

Finally, share the document link by using Google Drive’s sharing options and update the link back in your Google Sheets. This completes the automation process where every time you add a new topic in Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will trigger the workflow, generate quiz questions, store them in Google Docs, and update the link in your spreadsheet.
