2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow for your course recommendation emails. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start. You will be prompted to choose between the new beta workflow builder or the classic version; select the new beta for enhanced features.

• Name your workflow as ‘AI Email Generator for Course Recommendation’.
• Select a folder to organize your workflow, such as ‘AI Agent’.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating your workflow, you will see a box asking you to enter your trigger application. This is crucial as it sets off the automation process whenever a new form response is submitted.

3. Setting Google Forms as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will configure Google Forms as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add Trigger’ and search for ‘Google Forms’. Choose the ‘New Response Received’ action event to initiate the workflow when a new form submission occurs.

Next, you need to connect Google Forms with Pabbly Connect. A webhook URL will be provided, which acts as a bridge between the two applications. Open your Google Forms, navigate to the ‘Responses’ tab, and create a spreadsheet for the responses. Ensure that the last field in your form is toggled on for responses.

• Click on ‘View in Sheets’ to access the response spreadsheet.
• Go to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and install the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’.
• Refresh your Google Sheets to see the Pabbly Connect options.

Once the add-on is installed, click on ‘Initial Setup’ in the Pabbly Connect menu within Google Sheets. Paste the webhook URL and set your trigger column, which will be the final data entry column for your form responses.

4. Generating Personalized Emails with Google Gemini

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to generate personalized emails using Google Gemini through Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for ‘Google Gemini’. Select ‘Generate Content’ as the action event.

To connect Google Gemini, you will need an API token. Click on the provided hyperlink to access the API page, create a new API key, and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Once connected, you can configure the content generation prompt based on the data received from Google Forms.

Enter a detailed prompt that includes the student’s details and available courses. Map the necessary fields such as student name, email, and interest area to ensure dynamic content generation. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the email content.

Once the email content is generated, you can preview it to ensure it meets your expectations before moving on to the next step.

5. Sending the Generated Email via Gmail

The final step is to send the generated email using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for ‘Gmail’. Choose ‘Send Mail’ as the action event and connect your Gmail account.

After connecting, you will need to fill in the required fields such as sender name, recipient email, email subject, and the content generated from Google Gemini. Ensure that you map the recipient’s email address from the Google Forms response to personalize the email.

Enter a static sender name, like ‘Ed Tech’. Map the generated content from Google Gemini as the email body. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email.

Check your Gmail inbox to confirm that the email has been sent successfully, and you will see a personalized course recommendation email for the student.
