1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To create product launch announcements using Pabbly Connect, you first need to access the platform. Visit Pabbly Connect by navigating to Pabbly.com/connect in your browser. This automation tool allows you to integrate multiple applications seamlessly.

Once on the Pabbly Connect homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create an account, which gives you access to 100 free tasks per month. Existing users can simply sign in to continue.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

After signing in, your next step is to set up Google Sheets to work with Pabbly Connect. This involves creating a new workflow that will capture product launch details. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Create Product Launch Announcements from Sheets Using AI Agent’.
• Select a folder for your workflow. You can create a new folder if necessary.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

With the workflow created, you will now set a trigger by selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This ensures that whenever a new product detail is added to your Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture this information.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need to use a webhook URL provided by Pabbly. Copy this URL from your workflow and go to your Google Sheets. Install the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace if you haven’t done so already.

After installing the add-on, refresh your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Here, paste the copied webhook URL and set the trigger column (usually the last column where data is added). Click on ‘Submit’ to complete the setup. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from your Google Sheets whenever a new entry is made.

4. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

After setting up Google Sheets, the next step is to integrate OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. In your workflow, add a new action step and select OpenAI as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘Generate Content’ to create product launch announcements.

To connect OpenAI, you will need to enter your API key. Generate a new API key from your OpenAI account and paste it into the Pabbly Connect workflow. After connecting, select the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-4. You will then need to provide a prompt for the AI to generate the announcement based on the data received from Google Sheets.

• Map the data fields such as product name, launch date, and key features from your Google Sheets to the prompt.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the AI generates the content successfully.

This integration allows you to automate the content creation process for your product launch announcements using Pabbly Connect.

5. Creating Documents in Google Docs with Pabbly Connect

The final step is to create a new document in Google Docs to store the generated announcements. Add another action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow and select Google Docs as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create a Blank Document’.

Connect your Google Docs account to Pabbly Connect by signing in and allowing access. In the document name field, map the product name from the previous steps. After creating the blank document, you will add the generated announcement content to this document.

Select the action event ‘Append a Paragraph to a Document’ to add the content generated by OpenAI. Map the document ID and the generated content to complete the setup.

This final integration allows you to automatically create and populate a document in Google Docs with your product launch announcements using Pabbly Connect.
