1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation
To automate the generation of Facebook page posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website by entering ‘Pabbly.com/connect/inr’ in your browser.
Once there, you will see options to sign in or sign up. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create an account. After signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks every month to explore the software.
2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect
After signing in, you’ll reach the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow ‘Generate Facebook Page Post Using AI Agent’ and select the appropriate folder for social media automation.
- Click on ‘Create’ to save your workflow.
- You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.
- Set up the trigger to capture new rows added in Google Sheets.
This setup is crucial as it defines how Pabbly Connect will react to new data entries in your spreadsheet.
3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets
In this step, you will define Google Sheets as your trigger application within Pabbly Connect. Select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ which will start the automation when a new row is added.
To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, copy the webhook URL provided and set it up in your Google Sheets add-on. Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace if you haven’t already.
- Open your Google Sheets and go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.
- Paste the webhook URL and select the trigger column (e.g., column B).
- Click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection is successful.
Once you have successfully set up the trigger, Pabbly Connect will capture the data from your Google Sheets whenever a new row is added.
4. Generating Captions and Images with AI Agent
Now that your trigger is set, it’s time to generate the content using an AI agent like OpenAI. Select OpenAI as your action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’. This will allow you to create engaging captions based on the titles in your Google Sheets.
Provide the necessary API key from your OpenAI account to establish the connection. Once connected, set up the prompt for generating the caption. An example prompt could be: ‘Generate a compelling Facebook post caption for the title: [Title]. The caption should be engaging and encourage interaction.’
Map the post title from the Google Sheets response to make it dynamic. Select the model you want to use, such as GPT-4. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the caption.
This step demonstrates how Pabbly Connect facilitates the integration of AI to enhance your social media content.
5. Posting to Facebook with Pabbly Connect
After generating the caption, you will need to post it along with the generated image to your Facebook page using Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Pages as your action application and choose ‘Create Page Photo Post’ as the action event.
Connect to your Facebook account and select the page where you want to post. Map the image URL and the caption generated in the previous step. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the post.
Once the post is created, you can verify it by refreshing your Facebook page. You should see your new post with the caption and image, confirming that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated your Facebook posting process.
