1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets Integration

To begin automating course outlines in Google Sheets, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting Pabbly.com/connect in your browser. Here, you’ll find options to sign in or sign up for free. If you’re a new user, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to get started with your automation journey.

You will be prompted to name your workflow; enter a descriptive title such as ‘How to Build an AI Agent to Auto-Create Google Sheets Course Outlines’ and select a folder. This sets the stage for integrating Google Sheets with your AI agent via Pabbly Connect.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

After creating your workflow, it’s time to configure the trigger. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL that you need to copy. using Pabbly Connect

• Open your Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension and install it.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to access the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option.

Once the extension is installed, navigate to the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option and proceed to the initial setup. Paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column (e.g., column B) where your course details will be entered. Click ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup.

3. Testing the Trigger in Google Sheets

To ensure that your trigger is functioning properly, you need to perform a test submission. Go back to your Google Sheets and enter the course topic and target audience in the designated columns. This action will initiate the webhook response. using Pabbly Connect

After entering the data, enable the ‘Send on Event’ option in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks settings. This step is crucial as it allows the workflow to trigger automatically upon new data entry. Once you have done this, your test submission will send the entered details to Pabbly Connect, confirming that the trigger is working correctly.

4. Setting Up the AI Agent Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select OpenAI as the action application and choose ‘Chat GPT’ as the action event. If you haven’t connected your OpenAI account yet, click on ‘Add a New Connection’ and input your API key obtained from the OpenAI API key page. using Pabbly Connect

After establishing the connection, select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4. In the prompt field, enter a command for the AI agent, like ‘Create a structured course outline based on the given course topic.’ This prompt will guide the AI in generating the course outlines based on the data from Google Sheets.

• Map the course topic from the Google Sheets trigger response to the prompt.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the prompt to the AI agent.

Upon successful execution, the AI agent will generate the course outline, including the objectives and modules. This output will be sent back to Pabbly Connect for the next action.

5. Updating Google Sheets with the AI Generated Data

After receiving the generated course outline from the AI agent, it’s time to update your Google Sheets. For this action, select Google Sheets again as your action application and choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event. Connect your Google Sheets account if you haven’t already. using Pabbly Connect

In this step, select the specific spreadsheet and sheet where you want to update the data. You will need to map the row index from the previous response to ensure the correct data is updated. Fill in the fields with the generated course outline details, including module names and objectives.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to push the updated data back to your Google Sheets. You should see the newly generated course details reflected in your spreadsheet, completing the workflow.
