2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner of the dashboard.

In the dialog box, name your workflow. For this automation, you can name it ‘Automatically Generate LinkedIn Networking Post’. Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Automations’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.
• Understand the trigger and action principle: a trigger initiates the workflow, and actions are the responses.
• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application.

This setup will allow you to automate the process of generating LinkedIn posts based on inputs from Google Sheets.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Google Sheets

In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This ensures that every time a new detail is added to your Google Sheet, it triggers the workflow.

Once selected, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect.

• Open your Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to see the Pabbly Connect options.

Once refreshed, you will set up the initial configuration by entering the webhook URL and specifying the trigger column. This setup will ensure that data is sent from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect whenever a new entry is added.

4. Integrating OpenAI to Generate Posts

After setting up the Google Sheets trigger, the next step is to integrate OpenAI with Pabbly Connect. In the action step, select OpenAI and the action event ‘Chat GPT’ to generate content based on the details provided in the Google Sheet.

You will need to connect your OpenAI account by entering the API token. This token can be generated from your OpenAI account settings. Once the connection is established, you can select the AI model, such as GPT-4 Mini, to generate the content.

Enter a prompt that includes the topic, target audience, and tone for the LinkedIn post. Map the data from the Google Sheets trigger to the prompt fields in OpenAI. Save and test the action to ensure the content is generated correctly.

This integration allows you to automate the creation of engaging LinkedIn posts, saving you time and effort.

5. Posting the Generated Content on LinkedIn

The final step involves posting the content generated by OpenAI to your LinkedIn account. In this action step, select LinkedIn as the application and choose the action event ‘Share a Simple Text’.

Connect your LinkedIn account by following the prompts. After authorization, map the content generated by OpenAI to the content field in LinkedIn. Set the visibility to Pabbly to ensure your post reaches your audience.

Click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to post the content. Check your LinkedIn profile to confirm the post was successfully created. This completes the automation process using Pabbly Connect.

With this integration, you can efficiently manage your LinkedIn networking posts without the hassle of manual content creation.
