1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automating Reports

To generate weekly business insights reports automatically using Pabbly Connect, start by accessing the platform. Open your web browser and navigate to Pabbly.com/connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect homepage where you can either sign in or create a free account.

If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account and get 100 free tasks every month. Existing users can simply sign in. Once logged in, you’ll land on the dashboard where you can create your workflow for automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this automation, name it ‘Generate Weekly Business Insights Reports Using AI Agent’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Automations’.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

Once the workflow is created, you’ll see two main components: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result. For this integration, we will set Google Sheets as the trigger application.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger

To set up Google Sheets as the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select it from the list of applications. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This ensures that whenever new data is added to your Google Sheet, it will trigger the workflow.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Next, go to your Google Sheets, where you have your weekly insights data prepared.

• Add a new row of data in your Google Sheet.
• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

After installing the add-on, refresh your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Enter the copied webhook URL and set your trigger column, which should be the last column where data is entered.

4. Connecting OpenAI to Generate Reports

With Google Sheets set up as a trigger, the next step is to connect OpenAI using Pabbly Connect. In the workflow, select OpenAI as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’ to generate the business insights report.

To establish this connection, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your OpenAI API key. This key can be generated from your OpenAI account under API settings. After entering the key, click on ‘Save’ to connect OpenAI with Pabbly Connect.

Select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4. Map the necessary fields from the Google Sheets trigger to the OpenAI prompt.

In the prompt field, include instructions for generating the report based on the data from Google Sheets. This mapping allows the AI to pull in real-time data and generate accurate insights automatically.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Generated Insights

After the report is generated by OpenAI, the last step is to update your Google Sheets with the insights using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step in your workflow, selecting Google Sheets again, and choose the action event as ‘Update a Cell Value’.

Connect to Google Sheets by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and signing in with your Google account. Choose the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where you want to update the insights. For the cell range, specify the column where the insights should be placed, mapping the row index from the previous steps.

Map the report generated by OpenAI to the cell value in Google Sheets. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything works correctly.

After completing these steps, check your Google Sheet to see the updated insights report under the specified column. This automation will now run seamlessly, generating weekly business insights reports automatically using Pabbly Connect.
