1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate YouTube video descriptions, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless integration between various applications, including Google Sheets and Google Gemini. You can visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser.

Once on the homepage, you will find options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. As a new user, you will receive 100 free tasks every month to explore Pabbly Connect and its features.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for example, name it ‘Generate YouTube Video Description Using Google Gemini.’ Select your preferred folder for saving this workflow.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button.
• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.

By setting this up, you ensure that whenever a new title is added to your Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will recognize this action and initiate the workflow.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets Integration

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will receive a webhook URL after selecting your trigger. Copy this URL and go to your Google Sheets. Navigate to ‘Extensions’ and select ‘Add-ons’ to find ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks.’ If not installed, search for it in the Google Workspace Marketplace and install it.

Once installed, go back to your spreadsheet, click on ‘Extensions’ > ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ > ‘Initial Setup.’ Here, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and set the trigger column (e.g., column B for the title). Click on ‘Send Test’ to confirm the connection.

• Select ‘Send on Event’ to ensure data is sent to Pabbly Connect whenever a new row is added.
• Verify that the test response is received successfully in Pabbly Connect.

This setup guarantees that every time a new title is added, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

4. Integrating Google Gemini to Generate Descriptions

Next, you will integrate Google Gemini to generate video descriptions. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, select Google Gemini as the action application. Set the action event to ‘Generate Content’ and connect your Google Gemini account. You will need an API key, which can be obtained from Google AI Studio.

To generate the API key, navigate to Google AI Studio, create a project if you haven’t already, and click on ‘Get API Key.’ Once you have the key, paste it back into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Now, set the prompt text to generate a creative YouTube video description based on the title received from Google Sheets.

Map the title from the Google Sheets response to ensure dynamic content generation. Select the Gemini Pro model for generating the content.

This integration allows Pabbly Connect to automate the process of generating video descriptions efficiently.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Descriptions

After generating the description, you will want to update your Google Sheets with this information. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step to select Google Sheets. Choose ‘Update Cell Value’ as the action event. Use the existing connection to your Google Sheets.

Select the spreadsheet and sheet name, then specify the range where the description will be updated. Use a static column (e.g., C for descriptions) and map the dynamic row index. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the description is updated correctly in your spreadsheet.

With this setup, every time a new title is added to your Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will automatically generate and update the description, streamlining your content creation process.

Conclusion

By utilizing Pabbly Connect to integrate Google Sheets and Google Gemini, you can automate the generation of YouTube video descriptions efficiently. This process not only saves time but also enhances your content creation workflow.
