Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly apps dashboard. Click on the Pabbly Connect application to access the integration interface. This is where you will create a new workflow to automate the process of generating captions.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow that connects Google Sheets and OpenAI using Pabbly Connect. Click on the Create Workflow button and name your workflow, for example, ‘How to Generate Social Media Captions Using AI Agent.’ Select a folder to save your workflow.

• Click on the Create button to finalize your workflow setup.
• Set the trigger event to New or Updated Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets.

After setting the trigger, you will see two boxes: one for the trigger and another for the action. This setup allows you to automate the caption generation process whenever new data is added to your Google Sheet.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Now it’s time to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Copy the webhook URL provided in your Pabbly Connect workflow and open your Google Sheets. In Google Sheets, navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks to install it.

Once installed, go back to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks and click on Initial Setup. Paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which should be the final data entry column. This setup ensures that whenever you add a new topic in Google Sheets, the data is sent to Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Captions with OpenAI

After the Google Sheets connection is established, you need to set up the action to generate captions using OpenAI. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, select OpenAI as the action application. Choose the action event as Chat GPT and connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key.

• Select the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-4 Mini.
• Set the prompt for the AI, for example, ‘Write a social media caption for the following topic.’

Make sure to use mapping to dynamically pull the topic from Google Sheets. This allows the AI to generate a unique caption based on the topic you enter. After entering the details, click on Save and Send Test Request to see the generated caption.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Captions

Finally, you will need to update your Google Sheets with the generated captions. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step and select Google Sheets again. Choose the action event as Update Row and connect to your Google Sheets account.

Select the appropriate spreadsheet and map the row index to ensure that the correct row is updated with the newly generated caption. Click on Save and Send Test Request to finalize the update. Your Google Sheets should now reflect the newly generated caption based on the topic you entered.
