1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Blog Post Automation

To start generating AI-powered blog posts from Google Sheets, access Pabbly Connect by visiting pabby.com/connect. This platform serves as the central hub for integrating Google Sheets with other applications like OpenAI and WordPress.

Once on the Pabbly Connect homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up. New users can click on ‘Sign up free’ to get started with 300 tasks monthly. Existing users should click ‘Sign in’ to access their accounts and begin creating workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. This initiates the process of setting up your automation.

• Give your workflow a name, such as ‘Generate AI-Powered Blog Post from Google Sheets’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, or create a new one.

Once the workflow is created, you’ll see options for setting up triggers and actions. In this case, the trigger will be Google Sheets, which will activate the workflow whenever a new entry is added.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

To set up the trigger, select Google Sheets as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This ensures the workflow activates whenever a new detail is added to your Google Sheet.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it connects your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and proceed to your Google Sheets.

• Open your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install the add-on.

After installation, refresh the Google Sheets. Under Extensions, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and then choose ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the webhook URL and define the trigger column (e.g., column C). Once done, click submit to complete the setup.

4. Connecting OpenAI to Generate Blog Content

With the trigger set, the next step is to connect OpenAI to Pabbly Connect for generating the blog content. In the action step, select OpenAI as your action application and choose ‘Create Completion’ as the action event.

To establish this connection, you will need to enter your OpenAI API token. If you do not have one, log into your OpenAI account, generate a new API key, and copy it. Paste this key into the required field in Pabbly Connect.

Select the AI model, such as GPT-4 mini. Enter the prompt for the AI, mapping the data from the Google Sheets trigger.

After configuring the prompt with relevant details from your Google Sheets, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the blog content. You should receive a successful response indicating that the content has been generated.

5. Posting the Generated Content to WordPress

Finally, to publish the generated blog post, select WordPress as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Create Post’ as the action event. This will allow you to publish the content created by OpenAI directly to your WordPress blog.

To connect WordPress, enter your WordPress username, password, and base URL. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. Then, map the post title and content fields to the data generated from OpenAI.

Set the post status to ‘Publish’ to make the blog live immediately. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the action.

Once the request is successful, navigate to your WordPress account to verify that the new blog post has been created successfully, showcasing the AI-generated content.
