2. Configuring the Scheduler in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will configure the scheduler in Pabbly Connect to run your workflow daily. Select the ‘Scheduler’ as your trigger module. This feature enables you to specify how often you want the workflow to execute.

• Choose the frequency: Every Day.
• Set the time for execution: 12 noon.

After selecting the time, click on ‘Save’. This ensures that your workflow is scheduled to run at the specified time each day, fetching the top news headlines automatically.

3. Generating Top News Headlines with OpenAI

Next, you will configure Pabbly Connect to generate top news headlines using OpenAI. Add a new action step and search for OpenAI. Select the action event as ‘Generate Content’ and click on connect. You will need to provide your OpenAI API key to create this connection.

After successfully connecting, select the AI model you wish to use, such as ‘text-davinci-002’, and enter the prompt. For example, use the prompt ‘Generate the top news headlines for the date’. This will allow OpenAI to generate relevant headlines based on the current date.

4. Formatting the Date for Dynamic Headlines

In this step, you will format the current date to include it in your headlines using the Date Time Formatter in Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and search for ‘Date Time Formatter’. Choose the option to fetch the current date, and select your desired format.

• Select the format: DD/MM/YY.
• Click on ‘Save’ and send a test request to verify.

This setup ensures that every time the workflow runs, it fetches the current date dynamically, allowing OpenAI to generate the headlines accurately for that specific day.

5. Posting Generated Headlines on Facebook

Finally, you will set up Pabbly Connect to post the generated headlines on your Facebook page. Add another action step and search for ‘Facebook Pages’. Choose the action event as ‘Create Page Post’ and connect your Facebook account.

Once connected, select your Facebook page from the list and map the generated news headlines into the message field. Click on ‘Save’ and then perform a test request to ensure the post is created successfully on your page. You should see the new post with the headlines appear on your Facebook timeline.
