1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

In this section, we will learn how to access Pabbly Connect and set up our automation workflow. First, visit the Pabbly Connect website and create a free account. If you already have an account, simply log in to your dashboard.

Once you are logged in, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will be prompted to enter a name for your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Auto Create Content via OpenAI and Share on Slack with the Team’. Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To begin the automation, we will set Google Sheets as our trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Open Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ to install it.

After installation, go back to Google Sheets, click on Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column to the last data entry column. Click on ‘Save’ to finalize this step.

3. Generating Content with OpenAI via Pabbly Connect

Next, we will integrate OpenAI to generate content based on the titles provided in Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as your action application and choose the action event ‘Generate Content’.

Before connecting, you need to log in to your OpenAI account and obtain your API key. Once you have the key, return to Pabbly Connect and connect your OpenAI account. Map the necessary fields, including the blog title from Google Sheets, and set parameters such as the model and temperature.

• Select the model you want to use (e.g., ‘text-davinci-002’).
• Set the temperature to control the randomness of the generated content.
• Map the blog title from the previous step into the prompt field.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the content. You should see the generated blog content in the response.

4. Creating Google Docs to Store Generated Content

After generating the content, the next step is to create a Google Document to store this content. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Docs as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Document’.

Connect your Google account and provide a name for the document. Here, you can map the blog title from the previous step as the document name. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the document in your Google Drive.

Select Google Docs as the action application. Map the document name from the blog title. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the document.

Once the document is created, you can append the generated content to this document. Use the action event ‘Append Paragraph to Document’ and map the content from the OpenAI response.

5. Sharing the Content on Slack with Your Team

Finally, we will share the created document link on Slack using Pabbly Connect. Select Slack as your action application and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’.

Connect your Slack account and select the channel where you want to share the content. In the message field, write a message to your team including the link to the Google Document. You can map the document link from the previous step to dynamically include it in your message.

Choose the Slack channel for sharing the message. Map the document link in the message. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the message.

After executing this step, your team will receive the message with the link to the newly created document, allowing them to review and edit the content as needed.
