2. Creating Your Email Automation Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you click on ‘Create Workflow’, you will need to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘How to Use an AI Agent for Automated Emails in Pabbly Connect’. After naming it, select the appropriate folder for organization.

• Name your workflow clearly for easy identification.

After clicking ‘Create’, you will enter the workflow window where you can set up triggers and actions. This is where Pabbly Connect allows you to define how your automation will function.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Google Sheets

For the trigger application, select Google Sheets as this is where your lead details are stored. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Rows’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new entries.

After selecting your trigger, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect your Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Follow the instructions to paste this URL into the Google Sheets extension for Pabbly Connect Webhooks.

• Open Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.
• After installation, refresh your Google Sheets.

Once refreshed, go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Here, paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which is typically the last column of your data. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect captures the correct data from your Google Sheets.

4. Integrating AI Agent for Email Generation

After setting up your trigger, it’s time to integrate your AI agent. In this tutorial, we will use OpenAI as our AI agent. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT’. This allows Pabbly Connect to generate personalized email content based on the lead details.

To connect OpenAI, you will need an API key. Follow the prompts to generate and copy this key from the OpenAI API key page. Paste the key into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Select the AI model, such as GPT-4. Enter a prompt like ‘Generate a professional and engaging email for new lead inquiry.’ Map lead details from the previous step into the prompt.

This mapping ensures that the generated email is dynamic and personalized for each lead, showcasing the power of Pabbly Connect in automating your email communication.

5. Sending Automated Emails via Gmail

With your AI agent set up, the next step is to send the generated email using Gmail. Select Gmail as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Email v2’. This integration allows Pabbly Connect to send out the emails automatically.

Connect your Gmail account by following the prompts and granting necessary permissions. Once connected, fill in the recipient’s email address by mapping it from the OpenAI response. This ensures that the email goes to the correct lead.

Map the subject and body of the email from the OpenAI response. Fill in any other required details as necessary. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the email functionality.

Upon successful testing, you will see the email sent to your lead’s inbox, demonstrating how Pabbly Connect streamlines the entire process of automated email communication.
