1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate AI-based Shopify product launch announcements, first, access Pabbly Connect by navigating to pabby.com/connect in your browser. This platform serves as the backbone for integrating various applications seamlessly.

Once on the Pabbly Connect page, you can either sign in if you’re an existing user or click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create a new account. New users receive 100 free tasks monthly, allowing them to explore automation capabilities.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option to begin setting up your automation. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Automate AI Based Shopify Product Launch Announcements.’ Select an appropriate folder to save your workflow.

• Click ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow dashboard.
• You will see a blank canvas where you can set up triggers and actions.

Understanding the trigger-action concept is crucial. The trigger will initiate the workflow, while actions will be executed based on that trigger. In this case, the trigger will be adding a new product in Shopify, and the actions will involve generating a post using OpenAI and sharing it on Facebook.

3. Setting Up the Shopify Trigger

To set up the trigger, select Shopify as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Product.’ This means that every time a new product is added to your Shopify store, it will activate the workflow.

Once you select the trigger, a webhook URL will be generated. This URL needs to be integrated into your Shopify account. Navigate to your Shopify settings, then to ‘Notifications,’ and select ‘Webhooks.’ Click on ‘Create Webhook’ and choose the event as ‘Product Creation.’ Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and save.

4. Generating AI Content with OpenAI

With the trigger set, the next step is to generate the product launch announcement using OpenAI. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT’ to create the content.

To establish the connection, you’ll need to provide your OpenAI API key. If you don’t have an existing connection, create a new one by generating a secret key in your OpenAI account. Once connected, set up the prompt to instruct the AI on how to generate the post content.

• The prompt should include product details like name, price, and description.
• This ensures that the generated content is dynamic and relevant to the new product.

After setting up the prompt, you can test the action to verify that the content is generated correctly before moving on to the next step.

5. Posting to Facebook via Pabbly Connect

Finally, to share the generated content on Facebook, select Facebook Pages as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Create Page Post.’ Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect to enable posting.

Map the content generated from OpenAI into the post message field and include any relevant links or images. Once everything is set, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post on your Facebook page.

After refreshing your Facebook page, you should see the new product launch announcement posted automatically, showcasing the integration of Shopify, OpenAI, and Facebook through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In conclusion, automating AI-based Shopify product launch announcements is achievable with Pabbly Connect. By integrating Shopify, OpenAI, and Facebook, you can streamline your marketing efforts and enhance product visibility effortlessly.
