1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Auto-Blogging

Pabbly Connect is a powerful automation platform that allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the blogging process by connecting Google Sheets, OpenAI, and WordPress. This integration saves time and effort by automatically publishing fresh content every day.

To get started, you need to create an account on Pabbly Connect. Once you’re logged in, you can create a new workflow that will act as the backbone of this automation process. This workflow will connect the applications needed to generate and publish blog content effectively.


2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect Workflow

To set up your workflow in Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, let’s call it ‘AI Powered Auto Blogging Publish Fresh Content Every Day’.

  • Name your workflow as ‘AI Powered Auto Blogging’.
  • Select a folder for better organization.
  • Choose the trigger application, which will be Google Sheets.

Once your workflow is named and organized, you can proceed to set up the trigger. The trigger will be activated whenever a new title is added to your Google Sheets, kicking off the automated blogging process.


3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. After selecting this, click on ‘Connect’ to establish the connection.

To connect your Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, a webhook URL will be provided. This URL acts as a bridge between your Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. You must copy this URL and paste it into the Google Sheets add-on for Pabbly Connect Webhooks.

  • Open your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
  • Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.
  • Refresh Google Sheets, then go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

After pasting the webhook URL, set the trigger column to the final data entry column (e.g., Column D) and click ‘Send Test’. This will test the connection and ensure that data is being sent correctly to Pabbly Connect.


4. Generating Blog Content Using OpenAI

Now that Google Sheets is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to generate blog content using OpenAI. Add a new action step in your workflow and select OpenAI as the action application. Choose the event ‘Chat GPT’ and click on ‘Connect’.

You will need to enter your OpenAI API key to authorize the connection. Once connected, you can specify the AI model you wish to use (e.g., GPT-4) and set up a prompt that instructs OpenAI to generate a blog post based on the title and other parameters from Google Sheets.

Enter the prompt in a way that includes title, tone, audience, and keywords. Use mapping to dynamically pull data from Google Sheets. Save the action and test the request to see the generated blog content.

After testing, you should receive a response containing the generated blog content, which will be used in the next step to publish on WordPress.


5. Publishing the Generated Blog on WordPress

With the blog content generated, it’s time to publish it on WordPress using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step, select WordPress as your action application, and choose ‘Create Post’ as the event.

Connect to your WordPress account by entering the base URL, username, and password. Once connected, you can map the title and content fields to the corresponding data from the previous steps to ensure that the blog post is created accurately.

Select the post type (e.g., ‘Post’). Map the title and content fields to the generated data from OpenAI. Set the post status to ‘Published’ and click ‘Save’.

After saving, check your WordPress dashboard to confirm that the blog post has been successfully created and published. This completes the automation process, allowing you to publish fresh content daily with minimal effort.
