1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating recipe posts on WordPress, access Pabbly Connect by visiting Pabbly.com/connect. This platform allows users to create automation without any coding skills.

Once on the Pabbly Connect website, sign in to your account. Existing users can click on ‘Sign In,’ while new users should select ‘Sign Up for Free’ to enjoy 100 free tasks monthly. After logging in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can manage your workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will learn how to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘AI Agent for Auto-Generating WordPress Recipe Posts’. Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Click on ‘Create’ to establish your workflow.
• Choose Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.

After setting up the trigger, you will see two boxes: one for the trigger and one for the action. This setup will ensure that whenever a new dish is added to your Google Sheets, a corresponding post is created on WordPress using the AI agent.

3. Connecting Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To establish a connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect, a webhook URL is generated. This URL acts as a bridge for data transfer. Open your Google Sheets and navigate to the ‘Extensions’ menu, then select ‘Add-ons’ and click on ‘Get Add-ons’.

Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installation, go back to the extensions menu and select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Enter the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect, and specify the trigger column (e.g., Column D) where the data will be entered.

4. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

This step involves using OpenAI as the AI agent to generate recipe content. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, select OpenAI as the action application and choose ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event. Connect to OpenAI by entering your API token, which you can generate from the OpenAI dashboard.

• Select the AI model, such as GPT-3 or GPT-4.
• Enter a prompt that instructs the AI to generate a recipe based on the data from Google Sheets.

Ensure that you map the details from the Google Sheets response into the prompt. This mapping ensures that every new entry in the spreadsheet is dynamically included in the recipe generation process.

5. Posting Generated Content to WordPress

After generating the recipe, the final step is to publish it on WordPress using Pabbly Connect. Choose WordPress as the action application and select ‘Create a Post’ as the action event. Enter your WordPress site’s base URL and login credentials to establish the connection.

Map the post title to the dish name and the post content to the generated recipe from OpenAI. Set the post status to ‘Publish’ to make the recipe live on your site. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post. You should see the new recipe appear on your WordPress site almost instantly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of generating and posting recipes on WordPress. By integrating Google Sheets and OpenAI, you can streamline your content creation efforts effectively.
