After selecting the necessary applications, provide a prompt describing your workflow. This will help Pabbly Connect to understand how to automate the process effectively.

3. Setting Up the RSS Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger, select the RSS feed that will notify Pabbly Connect when new articles are available. You will need to provide the feed URL from a source like The Hindu. Copy the latest RSS feed link for your desired category.

Once you have the feed URL, choose the filter type. The default option is usually sufficient.

After entering the API key, select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-5. Then, provide a relevant prompt that will guide OpenAI in generating the email newsletter. Use the mapping feature to dynamically insert the title, description, and URL from the RSS feed into the prompt.
