1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate AI-based Instagram ad copy for Shopify products, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications, including Google Sheets and OpenAI.

Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by searching for ‘Pabbly.com/connect’. If you’re a new user, sign up for a free account to get 100 tasks monthly. Existing users can sign in to access their dashboard. Once logged in, you will see all Pabbly applications, where you’ll specifically choose Pabbly Connect to create your workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. In the dialog box, name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Automate AI-Based Instagram Ad Copy for Shopify Products’.

• Select an appropriate folder for your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to set up the workflow.

With your workflow created, you will now set up the trigger and action steps. Remember, the trigger indicates when the automation will start, while the action defines what will happen next.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose Google Sheets and select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This ensures that whenever you add a new product detail, the automation will be activated.

Upon selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Before proceeding, ensure you have the necessary Google Sheets add-on installed.

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons in Google Sheets.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets and set up the initial configuration by entering the copied webhook URL and selecting the trigger column.

4. Configuring OpenAI for Ad Copy Generation

With Google Sheets connected, the next action in Pabbly Connect involves integrating OpenAI to generate Instagram ad copy. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose the event as ‘Chat GPT’. This allows Pabbly Connect to use AI to create compelling ad captions.

To connect OpenAI, you will need to enter your API token. Generate this token from your OpenAI account under the API keys section. Once you have your token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4 Mini.

Enter a prompt that instructs the AI on what to generate. Map the necessary fields from Google Sheets to the prompt.

After setting everything up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the integration works correctly and the ad copy is generated successfully.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Ad Copy

Finally, to complete the automation, you need to update your Google Sheets with the generated ad copy. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Sheets again, this time choosing ‘Update a Cell Value’ as the action event.

Connect to Google Sheets using the same account and select the spreadsheet you are working with. Specify the range where the ad copy should be inserted, mapping the row index from the previous steps to ensure it updates the correct row.

Enter the column name where the ad copy will be stored. Map the generated ad copy content from OpenAI.

Once all details are entered, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process. Check your Google Sheets to confirm that the ad copy has been successfully updated in the designated column.

Conclusion

This tutorial has guided you through the steps to automate AI-based Instagram ad copy for Shopify products using Pabbly Connect. By integrating Google Sheets and OpenAI, you can streamline your ad creation process, saving time and enhancing your marketing effectiveness.
