1. Accessing Pabbly Connect to Automate Business Articles

To start automating the writing of business articles, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. Once there, you will see options to sign in or sign up for a free account. If you are new, click on ‘Sign Up’ to create an account and get 100 free tasks to explore the platform.

After signing in, you will arrive at the dashboard. Here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process of writing business articles automatically. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it something like ‘Write Business Articles Automatically Using OpenAI’. This name will help you identify the workflow later.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the Google Sheets option and select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will activate the workflow every time a new title is added to your Google Sheet.

• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Set up the Google Sheets add-on for Pabbly Connect Webhooks.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your Google Sheet and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. Once installed, refresh the Google Sheet and return to Extensions to complete the initial setup. Paste the webhook URL into the setup window and specify the trigger column where the new titles will be added.

3. Integrating OpenAI for Content Generation

Now that Google Sheets is set up as the trigger, the next action involves integrating OpenAI to generate content. In Pabbly Connect, add a new action step and select OpenAI as the application. Choose the action event as ‘Generate Content’. This will allow you to create articles based on the titles pulled from your Google Sheet.

To connect OpenAI with Pabbly Connect, you will need an API key. Log into your OpenAI account, navigate to the API section, and create a new secret key. Copy this key and return to Pabbly Connect to paste it into the connection setup. After successfully connecting, you will configure the parameters for content generation.

• Select the AI model you wish to use for content generation.
• Set the prompt to include the title from Google Sheets.
• Adjust the token limits and sampling settings as needed.

Once the parameters are set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate an article. You should see the generated content appear in the response, confirming that the integration works perfectly.

4. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Content

The final step is to update your Google Sheet with the content generated by OpenAI. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Sheets again, this time choosing the action event ‘Update Cell Value’. This will allow you to insert the generated article into the designated cell in your Google Sheet.

Connect to your Google Sheets account through Pabbly Connect, and map the spreadsheet name and specific cell where the article will be placed. For example, if the article should go into column B, specify that in the range. Then, map the row index to ensure the article is placed in the correct row corresponding to the title.

Map the spreadsheet name and sheet name correctly. Specify the range in the format of column name and row index. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to update the sheet.

After completing this step, check your Google Sheet to see if the article has been successfully added. This confirms that your integration is functioning correctly and will automatically update as new titles are added.
