Next, name your workflow, for example, ‘YouTube Comments Auto Reply’. Choose the appropriate folder for your workflow and click on ‘Create’. This will open the workflow interface, where you will see two main sections: the trigger and action windows.

2. Connecting YouTube to Pabbly Connect

To begin automating replies, you need to connect your YouTube account to Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for YouTube and select it. From the trigger event dropdown, choose ‘New Comment on a Channel’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’.

  • Select your YouTube account from the popup window.
  • Scroll down and click on ‘Continue’.
  • Choose the channel from which you want to retrieve comments.
  • Set the maximum result to 1 to retrieve only the latest comment.

After completing these steps, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will capture the details of the most recent comment from your YouTube channel, confirming the connection is successful.

3. Integrating ChatGPT with Pabbly Connect

Now, we will integrate ChatGPT with Pabbly Connect to generate replies for the comments received. In the action window, search for ChatGPT and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Ask ChatGPT’ and click on ‘Connect’.

Next, you will need to enter your OpenAI API key. To get this key, log into your OpenAI account, navigate to the API key section, and create a new secret key. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect. After saving, select the AI model you want to use, like GPT-4.

  • Enter the prompt for ChatGPT: ‘This is the comment I have received on my YouTube channel; please generate a short reply.’
  • Map the comment text from the YouTube trigger step into the prompt field.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate a reply from ChatGPT, confirming that the integration works correctly.

4. Replying to YouTube Comments Using Pabbly Connect

After generating a reply with ChatGPT, the next step is to post this reply back to the original comment on YouTube via Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for YouTube again and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Reply to Comment’ and click on ‘Connect’.

Since your YouTube account is already connected, select the existing connection. Now, you will need to map the reply text generated by ChatGPT into the reply text field. Additionally, map the unique comment ID from the trigger step to ensure the reply is posted correctly.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to post the reply. Check your YouTube comments section to see the automated reply.

By following these steps, you will have successfully set up an automation workflow using Pabbly Connect to auto-reply to YouTube comments.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

To verify that your automation is functioning correctly, post a new comment on your YouTube video. Wait for the automation to trigger, which typically takes about 10 minutes due to the polling nature of Pabbly Connect.

After 10 minutes, refresh your YouTube comments page. You should see the automated reply generated by ChatGPT for the comment you posted. This confirms that your integration is working seamlessly, allowing you to engage with your audience without manual effort.

With Pabbly Connect, you can expand this automation to include other applications, enhancing your workflow further. Enjoy the benefits of automation in your YouTube engagement strategy!
