In this section, we will connect Airtable to Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for Airtable and select it. Choose ‘New Record’ as the trigger event and click on ‘Connect’. You will need to create a new connection to your Airtable account.

• Click on the ‘Connect with Airtable’ button.

• Ensure you have a column named ‘Created’ with the type set to ‘Created Time’.

After making the connection, select the base and table from which you want to capture data. Once you click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’, the most recent record will be captured in Pabbly Connect.

3. Sending Data to AI Agent for Report Generation

Now that Airtable is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to send the data to an AI Agent like OpenAI for report generation. In the action step, search for OpenAI and select it. Choose ‘Chat’ as the action event and create a new connection using your OpenAI API key.

After connecting, select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4. In the prompt field, specify what you want the AI to do with the data. For instance, you can instruct it to structure the campaign data into a professional report. Make sure to map the necessary fields from the Airtable response to the OpenAI prompt.

• Map client name, report date, campaign duration, and other relevant data.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to receive the AI-generated report.

Once you receive the response, you will have a complete performance report generated by the AI based on the data from Airtable.

4. Creating Google Docs Report from AI Output

With the report generated by the AI, the next step is to create a Google Docs report using Pabbly Connect. In this action step, search for Google Docs and select it. Choose ‘Create Document from Template’ as the action event and connect your Google account.

After connecting, select the template document you created in Google Docs. Name the new document using a combination of the client name and campaign duration. Specify the location in Google Drive where the document will be stored.

Map the variables in your template document with the corresponding data from the AI response. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the document.

Upon successful execution, the new report will be created in your specified Google Drive folder, containing all the mapped details and the AI-generated content.
