1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To build an AI agent for creating marketing plans, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website at pabby.com/connect. This platform is essential for integrating various applications like Google Sheets and Google Docs.

Once on the landing page, you will see options to sign in or sign up. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks each month. Existing users can sign in directly. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can begin creating your workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘AI Agent to Create Marketing Plans’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Choose the ‘AI Agents’ folder for better organization.

Once the workflow is created, you will see two main sections: the trigger and action windows. The trigger is the event that starts your automation, while the action is what happens as a result. In this case, your trigger will be Google Sheets, specifically the ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ event.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and head over to your Google Sheets.

In Google Sheets, navigate to the ‘Extensions’ menu, go to ‘Add-ons’, and click on ‘Get add-ons’. Search for the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ add-on. If you haven’t installed it yet, do so. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets, go back to the ‘Extensions’ menu, and select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ to initiate the setup.

• Paste the copied webhook URL into the setup window.
• Set the trigger column to the final data column (e.g., Column E).

After completing the setup, ensure to select the ‘Send on Event’ option to automatically send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new entry is made in your Google Sheets.

4. Generating Marketing Plans Using OpenAI

With Google Sheets successfully connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up the action to generate marketing plans. For this, select ‘OpenAI’ as the action application and choose ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event.

After connecting OpenAI, you will need to specify the AI model. For this tutorial, the ‘GPT-4 Mini’ model is recommended. Next, create a prompt that instructs the AI on what to generate based on the inputs from Google Sheets, including marketing goals, start date, end date, marketing channels, and action plans.

Specify the required fields for the AI to generate content. Set a word limit for the generated plan (e.g., 500-600 words).

Once your prompt is ready, map the necessary data fields from the previous step and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the marketing plan.

5. Creating and Sharing Documents with Google Docs

After generating the marketing plan, the next step is to create a document using Google Docs. In Pabbly Connect, select ‘Google Docs’ as the action application and choose ‘Create Document from Template’ as the action event.

Authorize your Google account and select the template you created for marketing plans. Map the data fields such as marketing goal, start date, end date, and the generated marketing plan from the previous steps. Specify the new document name and its location in your Google Drive.

Ensure all variables are mapped correctly in the template. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the document.

To share the document with your team and clients, add another action step to your workflow using Google Drive. Select ‘Share a File with Anyone’ as the action event, map the document ID, and make it accessible to everyone. Finally, update your Google Sheets with the document link for easy access.
