1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate research report generation, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for integrating applications like Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Google Docs.

Open your browser and visit Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create an account. Existing users can click ‘Sign In’ to access their dashboard. Once logged in, you will see options to create workflows that automate processes seamlessly.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect to facilitate the automation process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Automate Research Report Generation’.
• Select a folder for organization, if needed.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

Now that you have created the workflow, you can proceed to set up the trigger event that will initiate the automation.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Google Sheets

The next step in using Pabbly Connect is to set up a trigger event. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever you add a new detail in your Google Sheet, it will trigger the automation.

After selecting the trigger, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to capture data from your Google Sheets. Copy this URL and set it up in your Google Sheets by installing the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.

4. Integrating OpenAI for Report Generation

Now that the trigger is set up, the next step is to connect OpenAI with Pabbly Connect. Choose OpenAI as your action application and select ‘Send Prompt’ as the action event. This connection will enable OpenAI to generate the research report based on the details provided in your Google Sheets.

• Map the relevant fields from Google Sheets to the prompt in OpenAI.
• Set up the API token for OpenAI in Pabbly Connect to authenticate the connection.
• Test the connection to ensure data is being sent correctly.

Once the integration is successful, OpenAI will generate the report based on the information received from Google Sheets.

5. Creating Documents in Google Docs

After generating the research report using OpenAI, the final step is to save this report in Google Docs using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Docs as your action application and choose ‘Create Document’ as your action event.

Map the necessary fields from the OpenAI response to the document fields in Google Docs. This will ensure that the generated report is saved correctly as a new document in your Google account.

Finally, test the action to confirm that the document is created successfully in Google Docs. Once confirmed, your automation is complete, and you can now generate research reports automatically with just a few clicks.
