2. Set Up the Schedule Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and select ‘Schedule’ as your trigger application. This feature allows you to schedule your workflows effectively.

• Select the event as ‘Schedule Workflow’.
• Set the frequency to ‘Every Day’.

Once saved, your workflow is now scheduled to run daily at the specified time. This setup is crucial for automating the motivational messages for your sales team.

3. Generate Messages Using Google Gemini

With the schedule set, the next step is to generate the motivational messages using Google Gemini through Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for Google Gemini. Select it and choose ‘Generate Content’ as the event.

If you have previously connected Google Gemini with Pabbly Connect, select the existing connection. If not, create a new connection by entering your API key from Google AI Studio. Once connected, enter your prompt for generating the motivational message.

• Prompt Example: ‘Generate one short and engaging daily message for my sales team on Slack.’
• Set the model to ‘Gemini 2.5’.

After entering the prompt, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the message. This message will be sent to Slack every day, providing motivation for your team.

4. Send Messages to Slack Channel

The final step is to send the generated message to your Slack channel using Pabbly Connect. Click ‘Add New Action Step’, search for Slack, and select it. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the event and connect your Slack account.

When connecting, choose the token type (User or Bot) based on your requirements. After granting the necessary permissions, select the channel ID where you want to send the message. Use the mapping feature to insert the generated message dynamically from the previous step.

Select the channel (e.g., Sales Team). Map the message field to the generated content from Google Gemini.

Click ‘Send Test Request’ to verify that your message is sent successfully to Slack. This completes the setup for your automation.
