2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create an effective workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner of the dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘AI Agent to Automate Personalized Email Marketing Campaigns’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.
• You will see trigger and action windows appear.

This is where you will define how your automation works using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will capture new leads from Salesforce, while the action will send emails through Gmail.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Salesforce

In your workflow, select Salesforce as the trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead’. This means that every time a new lead is created in Salesforce, it will trigger the workflow.

Click the ‘Connect’ button and authorize access to your Salesforce account. You will need to provide your instance URL, which can be found in your Salesforce settings under Company Information. After connecting, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is successful.

• Create a new lead in Salesforce to test the trigger.
• Once created, check if the lead data is captured in Pabbly Connect.

This setup ensures that every new lead in Salesforce will initiate the email drafting process using Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Personalized Email Using AI Agent

Next, select OpenAI as the action application in your workflow. Choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’ to generate a personalized welcome email for the new lead. Click on ‘Connect’ and enter your OpenAI API token to establish the connection.

In the prompt section, provide detailed instructions for the AI to generate the email. For example, specify that the AI should write a warm and friendly welcome email for a skincare brand, including tips for starting a skincare routine and mentioning a special offer.

Include the lead’s name dynamically by mapping it from the previous step. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the email.

This action will allow Pabbly Connect to utilize AI for creating tailored emails, enhancing your marketing efforts significantly.

5. Creating Email Drafts in Gmail

Finally, to create a draft of the generated email in your Gmail account, select Gmail as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Draft’. Connect your Gmail account and authorize access.

Fill out the required fields, including the subject line, recipient email address (mapped from the lead data), and the email content (mapped from the AI-generated email). After filling in the details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the draft.

Ensure the email content type is set to HTML. Select the label ID for organizing drafts, such as ‘Welcome Emails’.

This step confirms that Pabbly Connect successfully integrates Gmail with your automated email marketing process, allowing for efficient communication with new leads.
