1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate AI-based LinkedIn post ideas in Google Sheets, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to pabby.com/connect, where you can sign up for a free account or log in if you are an existing user.

Once logged in, you will see the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This is where you can create your integration workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation process.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow creation dialog, name your workflow, for example, ‘Automate AI-Based LinkedIn Post Ideas in Google Sheets’. Select a folder to save your workflow in, such as ‘Automations’. This organization helps you manage your various workflows effectively.

In this section, you will set up the trigger and action for your automation. Begin by defining the trigger application as Google Sheets. This means your automation will start when new data is added to your Google Sheets. The trigger event should be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select the trigger application as Google Sheets.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

After setting the trigger, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL is crucial for connecting your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

3. Linking Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To connect your Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. In your Google Sheets, click on ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.

Once installed, refresh your Google Sheets. Then navigate back to ‘Extensions’, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and choose ‘Initial Setup’. Here, enter the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column, which should be the last column where data will be added.

• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.
• Refresh your Google Sheets after installation.
• Configure the initial setup with the webhook URL and trigger column.

After submitting the setup, test the connection to ensure everything is working correctly. This sets up the Google Sheets to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new entry is made.

4. Generating LinkedIn Post Ideas with OpenAI

Now that your Google Sheets is linked to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to connect OpenAI. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select OpenAI as the application. Choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT’. This will allow you to generate creative post ideas based on the input from your Google Sheets.

To connect OpenAI, you will need to enter your API token. If you do not have one, log into your OpenAI account, create a new API key, and copy it to use in Pabbly Connect. After entering the API token, select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4.

Select OpenAI as the action application. Enter your OpenAI API token. Choose the AI model for generating post ideas.

For the prompt, you will need to map the data from your Google Sheets, such as industry, role, target audience, tone, and number of ideas. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically pull the correct information for generating relevant LinkedIn post ideas.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Ideas

After generating the LinkedIn post ideas using OpenAI, the final step is to update your Google Sheets with these ideas. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step, select Google Sheets, and choose the action event as ‘Update Cell Value’.

Connect to Google Sheets again, select your spreadsheet and specify the column where you want the generated ideas to be stored. Map the row index from the previous steps to ensure the ideas are updated in the correct row. Finally, map the value field to the generated LinkedIn post ideas from OpenAI.

Add an action step to update Google Sheets. Select your spreadsheet and specify the column for generated ideas. Map the row index and the value field accordingly.

Once you save this action, the automation is complete. Now, whenever you add new details in your Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will automatically generate and store LinkedIn post ideas for you.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to automate AI-based LinkedIn post ideas in Google Sheets simplifies your content creation process. By following these steps, you can efficiently generate and manage your LinkedIn posts, saving time and enhancing productivity.
