1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate Instagram posts using Google Gemini AI, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in or signing up for a new account. Pabbly Connect provides a seamless integration platform that connects various applications, including Google Sheets and Instagram.

Once logged into your Pabbly Connect dashboard, you will find options to create new workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation process. Ensure that you select the new beta workflow builder for a more flexible experience. This is where you will configure the integration between Google Sheets and Instagram using Google Gemini AI.

2. Setting Up the Workflow with Google Sheets

In this section, you will configure your workflow in Pabbly Connect to trigger actions based on updates in Google Sheets. Begin by selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application. Choose the ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event. This setup ensures that any new data entered into your Google Sheets will initiate the automation process.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect.
• Test the connection to ensure it works properly.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to configure the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect, allowing data to flow seamlessly. Follow the instructions in your Google Sheets to set up the Pabbly Webhooks add-on and enter the webhook URL in the setup.

3. Generating Content Using Google Gemini AI

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to generate captions for your Instagram posts using Google Gemini AI through Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step to your workflow and select Google Gemini as the action application. Choose ‘Generate Content’ as the action event to create engaging captions based on the data from your Google Sheets.

In the action configuration, you will need to input the API key from Google Gemini. This key connects Pabbly Connect to Google Gemini AI. After entering the API key, set up the prompt that will guide the AI in generating relevant content. For example, you might use a prompt like, ‘Write a short engaging Instagram caption for a nature post based on the title.’ This will help create captions that resonate with your audience.

• Select Google Gemini as the action application.
• Choose ‘Generate Content’ as the action event.
• Input your API key from Google Gemini.
• Set up the prompt for content generation.

This process ensures that every time new data is added to your Google Sheets, a fresh caption will be generated automatically, ready for posting on Instagram.

4. Posting to Instagram with Pabbly Connect

After generating the caption, the final step is to post the content to Instagram using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step in your workflow and select Instagram as the action application. Choose ‘Create Upload and Publish Photo’ as the action event. This action will publish the generated caption along with the image URL from Google Sheets directly to your Instagram account.

Ensure that you connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect. You will need to grant permissions for Pabbly Connect to access your Instagram for Business account. Once the connection is established, map the fields for the photo URL and caption generated by Google Gemini AI to ensure the correct information is posted.

Select Instagram as the action application. Choose ‘Create Upload and Publish Photo’ as the action event. Connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect. Map the photo URL and caption fields.

Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the entire workflow. If all configurations are correct, your post will be published on Instagram with the generated caption.
