1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating lesson plans using Pabbly Connect, first, access the platform by visiting the official website. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for a free account. Signing up grants you access to 100 free tasks each month, allowing you to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

Once you are logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can see various applications available for integration. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start building your automation. This process will connect your Google Sheets to Google Docs, enabling the automatic generation of lesson plans.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow using Pabbly Connect. After clicking on ‘Create Workflow,’ give your workflow a descriptive name, such as ‘Build an AI Agent to Auto-Create Google Docs Lesson Plans.’ Select the appropriate folder for your workflow to keep things organized.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to set up your new workflow.
• Choose Google Sheets as your trigger application.
• Select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This ensures whenever a new detail is added, the workflow gets triggered.

Setting up the trigger is crucial as it initiates the automation process. After selecting your trigger, you will be provided with a webhook URL. This URL is essential for connecting your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect your Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. Go to ‘Extensions’ in your Google Sheets, select ‘Add-ons,’ then ‘Get Add-ons’ to search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks. Install this add-on to facilitate the connection.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets. Then, navigate back to ‘Extensions,’ select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and choose ‘Initial Setup.’ Here, enter the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column, which is the last data column in your sheet.

4. Generating Lesson Plans with OpenAI

Once your Google Sheets are connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step involves integrating OpenAI to generate lesson plans. In your workflow, add an action step and select OpenAI as the application. Choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’ to utilize the AI model for generating content.

To create a new connection, you will need to enter your OpenAI API key. After successfully connecting, you will be prompted to enter a relevant prompt that instructs the AI on what to generate. You can map data from the previous step to dynamically insert details such as topic, grade, and objectives.

• Map the topic, grade, subject, duration, key objectives, and teaching method from the Google Sheets data.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to generate the lesson plan.

Upon successful generation, you will receive a response containing the lesson plan created by OpenAI. This response can then be used in the next step to save the lesson plan in Google Docs.

5. Saving Lesson Plans in Google Docs

After generating the lesson plan, the final step is to save it in Google Docs using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step in your workflow and select Google Docs as the application. Choose the action event to create a blank document.

Connect your Google Docs account by clicking on ‘Sign in with Google’ and granting the necessary permissions. Once connected, you can map the document name to the topic of the lesson plan generated earlier.

Click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to create the document. Then add another action step to append the lesson plan content to the newly created document.

After completing these steps, you will have successfully automated the process of generating and saving lesson plans in Google Docs using Pabbly Connect and OpenAI, streamlining your workflow as a teacher.
