3. Generating Product Recommendations with OpenAI in Pabbly Connect

After setting up WooCommerce, the next step is to generate custom product recommendations using OpenAI within Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT Structured AI Output’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to create personalized recommendations based on the order details.

To connect OpenAI, you will need an API token. Generate a new API key in your OpenAI account and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Ensure that the AI model selected is appropriate for your needs, such as GPT-4 Mini.

• Select OpenAI as the action application.
• Choose ‘Chat GPT Structured AI Output’ as the action event.
• Enter your API token to connect OpenAI to Pabbly Connect.

In the prompt section, create a message that includes customer details and the purchased product. For example, you can ask OpenAI to recommend accessories that complement the purchased item. This personalized touch enhances customer engagement.

4. Sending Customized Emails via Gmail through Pabbly Connect

Once the product recommendations are generated, the next step is to send these recommendations via email using Gmail integrated with Pabbly Connect. Select Gmail as the action application and choose ‘Send Email V1’ as the action event. This allows you to automate the email sending process.

Connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect by granting the necessary permissions. After connecting, fill in the email fields using the mapped data from the previous steps. This includes the recipient’s email address, subject, and email body, which contains the product recommendations generated by OpenAI.

Select Gmail as your action application. Choose ‘Send Email V1’ as the action event. Map the email fields using the data from WooCommerce and OpenAI.

After entering all the required details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the email is sent successfully. You will receive a confirmation response indicating the email was sent, and you can check your Gmail inbox to verify.
