1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation
To start building an AI news channel, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. Visit pabbly.com and log into your account. Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard to begin creating your workflow.
In the dashboard, click on “Create from Scratch” to initiate a new workflow. Name your workflow as “Building an AI News Channel That Creates News Videos Automatically” and select the appropriate folder for organization. This sets the foundation for your automation process.
2. Setting Up Your Trigger with RSS
In your workflow, the next step is to configure the trigger using Pabbly Connect. Select the RSS application to pull in new news items. For the trigger event, choose “New Item in Feed” to ensure that every time a new article is published, it will trigger the automation.
- Enter the Feed URL from an RSS source, such as Indian Express.
- Select the filter type as “Default” for optimal results.
- Save the settings and send a test request to capture the RSS feed response.
Once you receive a successful response, you will see the latest news items, confirming that Pabbly Connect is correctly polling the RSS feed every 10 minutes. This polling schedule ensures that your news updates are timely and relevant.
3. Creating Content with Google Gemini
After setting up the RSS trigger in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to generate content using Google Gemini. In the action step, select Google AI Studio and choose the event “Create Content”. This will help transform the news article into a video script.
To establish a connection, you will need an API key from Google Gemini. Navigate to the API section in your Google account, create a new API key, and paste it into Pabbly Connect. This connection allows for seamless integration.
- Map the news title and link from the RSS feed into the content prompt.
- Specify the desired length and format of the news content.
- Send a test request to receive the generated content.
Once the content is generated, you can review it to ensure it meets your expectations. This integration showcases how Pabbly Connect effectively automates the content creation process.
4. Converting Text to Video Using Google Gemini
The next phase involves transforming the generated text into a video. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Gemini again, this time choosing “Convert Text to Video”. This action will create a video based on the news content you just generated.
Input the necessary parameters, including the content URI you received from the previous step. Ensure that you format the link correctly to include your API key. This step is crucial for accessing the video content.
- Paste the content URI and append “and key equals” followed by your API key.
- Test the action to generate the video.
- Download the video once the processing is complete.
With this integration, Pabbly Connect allows you to seamlessly create videos based on real-time news, enhancing your content delivery capabilities.
5. Publishing the Video on Facebook
Finally, to publish your newly created video, add one last action step in Pabbly Connect and select Facebook Pages. Choose the “Create Video Post” event to share your video on your Facebook page.
Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect, select the page you want to post on, and map the video link from the previous steps. Optionally, add a description or caption to engage your audience.
- Click “Save and Send Test Request” to publish the video.
- Check your Facebook page to verify the post appears correctly.
- Repeat the process for future news updates.
By utilizing Pabbly Connect, you can automate the entire process of creating and sharing news videos, significantly enhancing your online presence.
