1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Content Generation

To automate content generation using Pabbly Connect, start by accessing the Pabbly Connect website. Create a free account to get started, which will allow you to test the automation features every month. After signing in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, for instance, ‘Auto Generate Content via OpenAI and Share with Team on Gmail’. This workflow will handle the integration between Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Gmail through Pabbly Connect.

2. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as the application and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means whenever a new title is added to your Google Sheet, it will initiate the workflow.

• Go to Google Sheets and click on Extensions.
• Select Add-ons and then Get Add-ons to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
• Paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect into the setup of the Google Sheets add-on.

Once the setup is complete, every new entry in your designated column will trigger Pabbly Connect to send the data to the next application in the workflow.

3. Connecting OpenAI to Generate Content

After configuring Google Sheets, the next step is to connect OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. This allows the automation to generate content based on the titles inputted in Google Sheets. In the action step of your workflow, select OpenAI and choose the action event to generate content.

When prompted, enter your OpenAI API key to establish the connection. Next, set the prompt to ‘Write a blog on’ followed by the title pulled from Google Sheets. This mapping allows OpenAI to create relevant content automatically based on the titles provided.

4. Creating Google Docs and Sharing via Gmail

Once the content is generated, the next action is to create a Google Document using Pabbly Connect. Choose Google Docs as the application and select the action event to create a blank document. Map the document title to the blog title generated by OpenAI.

After the document is created, append the generated content into the document. This ensures that the full blog is stored in Google Docs for later review. Finally, you will set up another action to share this document via Gmail by selecting Gmail as the application and choosing the action event to send an email.

• Map the recipient email addresses to send the document link.
• Customize the email subject and body to include the document link for review.

By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the entire process from content generation to sharing via email, streamlining your workflow effectively.
