1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate your content creation workflow, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open a new tab and navigate to the Pabbly Connect homepage at Pabbly.com/connect. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for a free account.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ option. This will allow you to create an account and receive 100 free tasks every month. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’ to access their dashboard. Once logged in, select the Pabbly Connect app to begin creating your automation.

2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start building your automation. You will be prompted to choose between two workflow builders: the modern beta version and the classic version. Choose the beta version for a more flexible experience.

• Select ‘Create Workflow’ from the dashboard.
• Choose the beta workflow builder for more features.
• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Automate Your Content Creation Workflow with AI’.

Once named, click on ‘Create’ to access the workflow page. Here, you will set up your trigger, which is the first application that initiates the workflow. In this case, select Google Sheets as your trigger app.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger

In the workflow setup, select Google Sheets and choose the event type as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that every time a new title or description is added to your Google Sheet, it will trigger the workflow. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish this connection.

After connecting, you will receive a webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and head to your Google Sheets. Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons, and search for the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on.

• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on.
• Go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.
• Paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column as B.

Once set up, click on ‘Submit’ to finalize the integration. This will allow your Google Sheet to send data to Pabbly Connect automatically whenever a new row is added.

4. Generating Content Using OpenAI

With Google Sheets set up, the next step involves generating content using OpenAI. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select OpenAI as the action app. Choose the app event as ‘Chat GPT’ and click ‘Connect’. If you need to create a new connection, input your OpenAI API key.

Once connected, you will need to set up the fields for generating content. Select the AI model you want to use and provide a prompt that includes the title and description from Google Sheets. Use mapping to dynamically pull in these values from the previous step, ensuring the generated content is relevant.

Select the AI model (e.g., GPT-4). Enter a prompt that instructs OpenAI on how to generate the content. Map the title and description from the Google Sheets response.

After entering the prompt, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You will receive a response from OpenAI with the generated content, ready for posting.

5. Posting Generated Content to Facebook

The final step is to post the generated content to your Facebook page. Add another action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow, selecting Facebook Pages as the action app. Choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the event and connect your Facebook account.

Once connected, select the Facebook page where you want to post the content. In the message field, map the title and the content generated by OpenAI. This ensures that your post will include the correct title and content every time.

Select your Facebook page from the dropdown. Map the title and content fields from the OpenAI response. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the post.

After testing, head over to your Facebook page to see the new post. This completes your automated content creation workflow using Pabbly Connect, allowing you to streamline your content publishing process.
