1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating Google Sheets exam schedules, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly.

Open your browser and navigate to Pabbly.com/connect. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create an account. Existing users can simply sign in.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are signed in to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. This will open a dialog box for naming your workflow.

• Name your workflow appropriately, for instance, ‘AI Agent for Google Sheets Exam Schedules’.
• Select a folder to organize your workflow, such as ‘Automations’.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

Now, your workflow is ready for the next steps, where you will set up triggers and actions to automate the exam scheduling process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

In this step, you will set up a trigger in Pabbly Connect that will activate whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheets. Choose Google Sheets as your trigger application and select the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Ensure that you have the Google Sheets add-on installed to facilitate this integration.

• Go to Google Sheets, click on ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’ and select ‘Get Add-ons’.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.
• Refresh your Google Sheets after installation to see the add-on in action.

Once the add-on is set up, return to Pabbly Connect to complete the connection.

4. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

In Google Sheets, click on ‘Extensions’, navigate to ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and select ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column where data will be entered.

For example, if your last data column is column E, enter this in the trigger column field. After submitting, you will see a message confirming the successful setup. This means Pabbly Connect is now ready to capture data from your Google Sheets.

Ensure you enable the ‘Send on Event’ option under the Pabbly Connect add-on. Test the connection by adding a new row in Google Sheets.

After testing, you should see that Pabbly Connect has successfully received the data from Google Sheets.

5. Generating Exam Schedule Using OpenAI

Now that you have set up the trigger, the next step involves generating the exam schedule using OpenAI within Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose the event ‘Chat’ to generate the schedule.

Connect your OpenAI account by entering the API token you can find in your OpenAI account settings. After connecting, select the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-4 Mini, and provide a prompt that instructs the AI on how to create the exam schedule.

Map the necessary data fields from the Google Sheets trigger, such as class name, subject, available dates, etc. Click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to generate the schedule.

Once the AI has generated the schedule, you can see the response in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the schedule has been created successfully.

Conclusion: Updating Google Sheets with the Generated Schedule

Finally, to update your Google Sheets with the newly generated exam schedule, add another action in Pabbly Connect to update a cell value in your spreadsheet. Select Google Sheets again, and this time choose the action event ‘Update a Cell Value’.

Connect your Google Sheets account again if necessary, select the appropriate spreadsheet and specify the range where the schedule should be updated. Once everything is set, click ‘Save and Send Request’ to finalize the update.

With these steps completed, you have successfully automated the process of creating and updating exam schedules in Google Sheets using an AI agent integrated through Pabbly Connect. This not only saves time but also minimizes errors, enhancing your scheduling efficiency.
