2. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

The first step in your automation is to set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Google Sheets’ as the trigger app and select the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new entries.

• Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Open your Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons, and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks.

After installing the add-on, refresh your Google Sheet and set up the webhook by going to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column (e.g., Column C). Click ‘Submit’ to complete the setup, ensuring that Pabbly Connect can receive data from your Google Sheets.

3. Generating Images Using Gemini Nano Banana

Next, you will configure the action step in Pabbly Connect to generate images using Gemini Nano Banana. Add an action step and select ‘Google Gemini’ as the application, then choose the event ‘Generate and Edit Images Nano Banana.’ This will allow you to create images based on the prompts entered in Google Sheets.

To connect to Gemini, you will need an API key. Click on the provided link to obtain your API key and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Once the connection is established, you will set up the prompt for the image generation.

• Enter the prompt for the image, such as ‘An astronaut holding colorful balloons on Mars.’
• Specify the style (e.g., surreal) and image type (e.g., illustration).

After entering the details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the image. You will see a response containing the image URL, demonstrating that Pabbly Connect has successfully facilitated the image generation.

4. Updating Google Sheets with the Generated Image URL

Now that the image has been generated, the next step is to update your Google Sheets with the image URL. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select ‘Google Sheets’ again, choosing the event ‘Update Row.’ This will allow you to send the generated image URL back to your spreadsheet.

Connect your Google account and select the spreadsheet you wish to update. You will need to map the row index and specify the column for the generated image URL. After mapping the data, click on ‘Test Request’ to send the image URL back to Google Sheets.

Upon successful execution, you will see the generated image URL appear in your Google Sheets, confirming that Pabbly Connect has completed the automation process effectively.
