2. Setting Up the Trigger with RSS by Pabbly

In this step, you will set up the trigger using the RSS by Pabbly application. This application will fetch news updates automatically. Select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Item in Feed’.

  • Enter the RSS feed URL from your preferred news source.

Upon successful setup, you will receive the latest news items from the specified RSS feed. This will act as the trigger for your automation workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Collecting Subscriber Data with Google Sheets

Next, you will collect subscriber information using Google Sheets. Select ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application in Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to access and manage your subscribers’ data efficiently.

Once you connect your Google Sheets account, choose the action event ‘Get Rows’. In this step, specify the spreadsheet that contains your subscriber information. Ensure that you select the correct sheet and range to capture all necessary data.

  • Select the spreadsheet named ‘My Subscribers’.
  • Set the range to capture all subscriber emails.

After configuring these settings, test the connection to ensure you can successfully retrieve subscriber data. This data will be used to send the summarized news updates.

4. Generating News Summaries with OpenAI

In this section, you will generate news summaries using OpenAI as an action application in Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI and choose the action event ‘Generate Summary’. This allows you to create concise summaries of the news articles fetched from the RSS feed.

Enter the necessary details, such as the prompt to summarize the news content. You can use a prompt like ‘Summarize the news article in two to three bullet points’ to guide the AI in generating meaningful summaries.

Map the title and content fields from the RSS feed response. Test the action to ensure summaries are generated correctly.

Once the summary is generated, it will be ready to be sent to your subscribers via email. This step is crucial in automating the news dissemination process.

5. Sending Emails to Subscribers Using Gmail

The final step involves sending the generated news summaries to your subscribers using Gmail. Select Gmail as your action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Send Email’.

Configure the email settings by entering the recipient’s email address, subject line, and email content. Use the mapped data from the previous steps to personalize the email content, ensuring that each subscriber receives tailored updates.

Map the email address from your Google Sheets data. Set the email subject as ‘Latest News for You’. Insert the generated summary into the email body.

Test the email action to confirm that the emails are sent successfully. This completes your automation workflow, allowing you to automatically summarize and send news updates to your subscribers.
