1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the process of auto-generating articles, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by navigating to the URL Pabbly.com/connect. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for a new account.

If you are new to Pabbly Connect, signing up is quick and provides you with 100 free tasks. Once logged in, you will arrive at the All Applications page where you can create a new workflow for your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are on the dashboard of Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow, which in this case can be named ‘Auto-Generate Articles’. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

In the next window, you will see two crucial components: Trigger and Action. Choose Google Sheets as your trigger application. The event should be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will initiate the workflow whenever a new title is added to your Google Sheet.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

After selecting Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL for later use in your Google Sheet.

Now, open your Google Sheet where you have the article titles. Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Ensure this add-on is installed. Once installed, go back to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks and select ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and set the trigger column to the final data column (usually column B).

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on in Google Sheets.
• Set the trigger column in the initial setup.

After completing the setup, click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the data is sent successfully. Once confirmed, click ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup.

4. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

With the Google Sheets setup complete, the next step is to integrate OpenAI. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as your action application. The action event should be set to ‘Generate Content’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to provide your OpenAI API token, which can be found in your OpenAI account.

After successfully connecting OpenAI, fill in the required fields such as AI model and prompt. For the prompt, you can use something like ‘Write an article on the title’ and map the title from the previous step. Set the maximum tokens to 300 and adjust the sampling type as needed.

5. Creating Google Docs with Pabbly Connect

Now that you have generated the article content, the next step is to create a Google Doc. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Docs as the action application. Choose the event ‘Create Blank Document’. Connect your Google Docs account and set the document name to the article title.

After creating the document, add another action step in Pabbly Connect to ‘Append Paragraph to Document’. Map the document ID from the previous step and insert the generated article text. Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the integration.

By refreshing your Google Docs, you can see that the document has been created with the article content successfully appended. This means the entire auto-generation process using Pabbly Connect is a success!
