To automate daily social media posts using Pabbly Connect, you first need to access the platform. If you are a new user, open your browser and navigate to pabbl.com/connect. In the top right corner, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ option to create your account. Pabbly Connect offers 100 free tasks per month, allowing you to explore its features without any cost.

Once you have signed up, log in to your account and access the workflow builder. This is where all the magic happens. The workflow builder allows you to set triggers and actions, which are essential for automating your social media posts. You can create a workflow that will automatically post on your social media accounts every day at a specific time.


2. Creating Your Daily Posting Workflow with Pabbly Connect

To create your workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button. For the trigger application, select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’. This will allow you to set the frequency of your posts. For the event, choose ‘Schedule Workflow’ and click on ‘Connect’ to proceed.

  • Choose how often you want to run your workflow (e.g., every day).
  • Set the specific time for posting (e.g., 1:00 p.m.).
  • Click ‘Save’ to finalize the trigger settings.

After saving the trigger, your workflow is set to run at your specified time. Now, you will need to generate the content that will be posted. This includes both the caption and the image for your social media post.


3. Generating Post Content with OpenAI in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will generate the post caption using OpenAI integrated with Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’, search for OpenAI, and select it. For the event, choose ‘Chat GPT’ and click on ‘Connect’. If you have not created a connection before, you will need to enter your OpenAI API key to proceed.

Once connected, you can input your desired prompt to generate the caption. Make sure to use a prompt that is relevant to your social media theme. After entering the prompt, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will generate the caption that will be used in your post.

  • Choose an appropriate prompt for generating captions.
  • Review the generated caption in the response message.
  • Ensure the caption aligns with your social media strategy.

After you have the caption, you can now move on to generating the image using the same OpenAI integration.


4. Generating Images for Your Social Media Posts

To generate an image for your post, you will again use OpenAI within Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for OpenAI. This time, select ‘Generate Image GPT’. Make sure to choose the correct event to ensure high-quality images.

After connecting to OpenAI, enter the prompt that will guide the image generation. It’s crucial to map the caption generated in the previous step to ensure the image aligns with the content. To map the caption, simply use the mapping function by inserting a slash and selecting the caption from the previous step.

Select the model for image generation (e.g., GPT Image 1). Set the output format to PNG for better quality. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the image.

Once the image is generated, you can review it and ensure it meets your expectations before posting it on social media.


5. Posting to Social Media Using Pabbly Connect

The final step in your automation process is to post the generated content on your social media account. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for Facebook. Select ‘Create Page Photo Post’ and click on ‘Connect’. If you have not connected your Facebook account before, you will need to log in and authorize the connection.

Once connected, select the Facebook page where you want to post the content. Map the image URL and caption generated in the previous steps to ensure that the correct content is posted. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process.

Choose the Facebook page for posting. Map the image URL and caption accurately. Confirm the post by checking your Facebook page.

After completing these steps, you will see your new post appear on your Facebook page, demonstrating the power of automation through Pabbly Connect. You can now relax as your posts will be generated and published automatically every day at your chosen time.
