1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Daily News Digest Automation

To auto-generate daily news digests with Pabbly Connect, you must first access the platform. Visit Pabbly Connect by typing Pabbly.com/ni in your browser. Once on the website, sign in to your account. Existing users can click on the ‘Sign In’ button, while new users should select ‘Sign Up for Free’ to get started.

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard where you can view all your workflows. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow, such as ‘Daily News Digest Automation with Pabbly.’ This initial step sets up the foundation for your automation process.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your automation using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be RSS by Pabbly. This application allows you to check for updates in your selected RSS feed. Select RSS by Pabbly as your trigger application, and choose the event type as ‘New Item in Feed’.

  • Select the RSS feed URL that you want to monitor for news updates.
  • Set the polling interval to check for new items, for example, every hour.
  • After entering the feed URL, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is successful.

Once you have confirmed that the RSS feed is connected, Pabbly Connect will automatically check for new items in the feed at the specified interval. This setup ensures that your automation runs smoothly and efficiently.

3. Generating News Summaries Using OpenAI

After setting up the trigger, the next step involves generating news summaries using an AI agent, specifically OpenAI. In this section, you will configure the action application as OpenAI in Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose ‘Chat GPT’ as the event type.

In the action setup, you need to enter the API token for OpenAI to establish a connection. This token can be generated by creating a new secret key in your OpenAI account. After entering the token, specify the model you want to use, such as GPT-4 Mini, and create a prompt to summarize the news content. For example, use a prompt like ‘Generate a well-structured news letter document based on the following details: [news details].’ This prompt will instruct the AI to create a summary of the news articles.

4. Sending Emails to Subscribers via Gmail

With the news summaries generated, the final step is to send these summaries to your subscribers using Gmail. In this part of the automation, you will set Gmail as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Send Email’ as the event type.

  • Connect your Gmail account by clicking on ‘Connect with Gmail’ and granting the necessary permissions.
  • Map the recipient’s email address from the previous step’s response, and add a subject line and body content for the email.
  • Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the email is sent successfully.

Once this step is completed, Pabbly Connect will automatically send the generated news summaries to your subscribers via Gmail. This automation streamlines the entire process, ensuring timely delivery of news digests.
