1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WordPress Integration

To auto-summarize WordPress blogs and convert them to audio, we will use Pabbly Connect as the central integration platform. To get started, navigate to your browser and search for Pabbly Connect. You can sign up for a free account if you are new or log into your existing account.

Once you are logged in, access the Pabbly Connect dashboard and create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow (e.g., ‘AI Agent for WordPress’), and select a folder to save it in. This workflow will automate the process of capturing new blog posts and processing them.

2. Connecting WordPress with Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect our WordPress account with Pabbly Connect. In the trigger step, choose ‘WordPress’ as the app and select the trigger event as ‘New Post Published’. This sets up Pabbly Connect to listen for new blog posts published on your WordPress site.

• Select ‘WordPress’ in the trigger app.
• Choose ‘New Post Published’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your WordPress dashboard, install the WP Webhooks plugin, and activate it. Navigate to the WP Webhooks settings, select ‘Send Data’, and set the event to ‘Post Created’. Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field and save the settings. This ensures that every new post triggers the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Summarizing Blog Content with OpenAI

After setting up the trigger from WordPress, the next step involves summarizing the blog content using OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. Add an action step and select OpenAI as the app. Choose ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event to generate a summary of the blog content.

To connect OpenAI, you will need your API key. Log into your OpenAI account, navigate to the API keys section, and create a new secret key. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Select the OpenAI model (e.g., GPT-4 Mini).
• Input your prompt to summarize the blog content.
• Map the blog content received from WordPress into the prompt field.

Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the blog content to OpenAI and return a summarized version that will be used for audio conversion.

4. Converting the Summary to Audio Using 11 Labs

With the summary generated from OpenAI, the next step is to convert this text into audio using 11 Labs through Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and choose 11 Labs, then select ‘Create Text to Speech’ as the action event.

To connect 11 Labs, you will again need an API key. Log into your 11 Labs account, navigate to the API keys section, and create a new key. Paste this key into Pabbly Connect to complete the integration.

Select the voice ID you want for the audio output. Map the summary text from OpenAI into the text field. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the audio file.

Upon successful execution, you will receive a link to the generated audio file, which can now be uploaded back to your WordPress post.

5. Uploading the Audio File Back to WordPress

The final step involves uploading the generated audio file back to your WordPress post using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step, select WordPress, and choose ‘Upload File’ as the action event. Connect your WordPress account by entering the required credentials.

In the upload file action, map the file URL received from 11 Labs into the designated field. You can also map the title of your blog as the file name for better organization.

Select the post ID from the trigger step to ensure you are updating the correct post. Map the audio file URL and title accordingly. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the upload.

After the successful upload, refresh your WordPress post to see the audio file integrated at the top, allowing users to listen to the summary directly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to auto-summarize WordPress blogs and convert them into audio format. By integrating WordPress, OpenAI, and 11 Labs, you can enhance your blog’s accessibility and engagement. Follow these steps to implement this workflow and enjoy the benefits of automation.
