1. Accessing Pabbly Connect to Set Up Your Automation

To start the process of auto-repurposing blogs into videos, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create automated workflows that connect various applications seamlessly. Begin by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website, where you can either sign in or sign up for a free account. As a new user, you can enjoy 100 free tasks each month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard with all the Pabbly applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect to enter the workflow creation area. From here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘How to Build an AI Agent to Auto Repurpose Blogs into Videos,’ and select a folder to save it in. After clicking ‘Create,’ you will be directed to the main workflow window where you can set up triggers and actions.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with WordPress

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger application, which in this case is WordPress. This trigger will activate the workflow whenever a new blog post is published. In the workflow editor, search for WordPress in the trigger application section and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post Published’ to initiate the workflow upon publishing a blog. using Pabbly Connect

• Select ‘WordPress’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Post Published’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, you need to integrate it with your WordPress account. Install the VP Webhooks plugin in your WordPress admin area, activate it, and navigate to the plugin settings. Here, you will add the webhook URL by creating a new webhook named ‘Blogs into Videos’ and pasting the copied URL. This setup ensures that every time a new blog post is published, the webhook will trigger the Pabbly Connect workflow.

3. Using Open AI to Generate Video Scripts

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action that will generate the video script using Open AI. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, search for Open AI and select it as the action application. Choose ‘Chat GPT’ as the action event, which will allow you to generate a script based on your blog content. using Pabbly Connect

To connect your Open AI account, you will need to provide an API key. Navigate to the Open AI API key page, create a new secret key, and copy it. Paste this key into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. After connecting, select the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-4, and set up the prompt by mapping the blog title and content from the previous step.

• Select ‘Open AI’ as the action application.
• Choose ‘Chat GPT’ as the action event.
• Map the blog title and content in the prompt field.

Once you have configured the prompt with the mapped data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will trigger Open AI to generate a video script based on the blog post content, which will be used in the next action step.

4. Creating the Video with HiGen

With the video script generated, the next step is to create the video using HiGen. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step and select HiGen as the action application. Choose ‘Create Avatar Video’ as the action event to generate the video from the script created in the previous step. using Pabbly Connect

To connect to HiGen, you will need to provide another API key, which you can find in your HiGen account settings. After connecting, select the avatar you want to use in the video, set the style, and input the generated script as the input text. Configure additional settings such as voice and caption preferences before proceeding.

Select ‘HiGen’ as the action application. Choose ‘Create Avatar Video’ as the action event. Input the generated script and configure video settings.

Once all settings are configured, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. The video creation process may take some time, but you will receive a video ID once the request is processed.

5. Uploading the Video to Google Drive

After the video is created, the final step is to upload it to your Google Drive account. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step and select Google Drive as the action application. Choose ‘Upload a File’ as the action event to store the video in your Drive. using Pabbly Connect

To connect your Google Drive account, you will need to authenticate with your Gmail account. Once connected, map the video URL and select the folder ID where you want to save the video. You can easily find the folder ID by copying the URL of the desired folder in Google Drive and removing everything before the ‘folders’ part.

Select ‘Google Drive’ as the action application. Choose ‘Upload a File’ as the action event. Map the video URL and folder ID for storage.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the upload. Once completed, the video will be accessible in your Google Drive, ready for sharing across various platforms.
