1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Podcast Automation

To create podcast episode titles and descriptions using Pabbly Connect, start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. This powerful automation tool allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly, making your workflow efficient.

Once on the Pabbly Connect homepage, sign in with your existing account or sign up for a new one. After logging in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow specifically for podcast automation.


2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate the process of generating podcast episode titles and descriptions. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow appropriately.

  • Name your workflow: ‘Create Podcast Episode Titles and Descriptions’.
  • Select a folder for organization.

After naming your workflow, you will see two boxes: one for the trigger and one for the action. The trigger will be set to Google Sheets, and the action will involve OpenAI to generate the titles and descriptions.


3. Setting Up Google Sheets as Trigger

To begin the automation, set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ which will initiate the workflow whenever a new topic is added.

Next, you need to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect using a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge between the two applications. Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and paste it into the Google Sheets add-on for Pabbly Connect.

  • Open Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
  • Paste the webhook URL in the setup prompt.

Once the webhook is configured, test the connection by sending a sample data entry. This confirms that your Google Sheets is properly linked to Pabbly Connect.


4. Integrating OpenAI for Title and Description Generation

With Google Sheets set up, the next step is to integrate OpenAI into your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as the action application and choose the ‘Chat GPT’ event to generate titles and descriptions based on the podcast topic.

To connect OpenAI, you will need an API key. If you don’t have one, create a new key in the OpenAI dashboard and paste it into Pabbly Connect. After connecting, set up the action by defining the AI model and crafting a prompt that specifies the format of the output.

Select the AI model: GPT-4 Mini. Create a prompt that instructs OpenAI to generate a title and description in JSON format.

Once the prompt is set, test this action to ensure that OpenAI returns the expected title and description for your podcast episode.


5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Data

After receiving the response from OpenAI, the final step involves updating your Google Sheets with the generated title and description using Pabbly Connect. Set Google Sheets as the action application again and choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event.

Connect to Google Sheets and select the spreadsheet you are using for your podcast. Map the row index dynamically from the previous response to ensure the correct row is updated with the new title and description.

Choose the spreadsheet name. Map the title and description fields from OpenAI’s response.

Finally, test this action to confirm that the title and description are correctly added to your Google Sheets. This completes the automation process, allowing you to generate podcast episode titles and descriptions effortlessly.
