1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Spam Detection

To start using Pabbly Connect for automatically detecting and blocking spam leads, first navigate to the Pabbly website. Sign in to your account by clicking on the ‘Sign In’ button located at the top right corner of the page. If you’re a new user, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create an account and get started.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow specifically designed to manage spam leads. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow to Block Spam Leads

In this section, you will create a workflow within Pabbly Connect to automatically detect spam leads. First, name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Detect and Block Spam Leads’. Next, select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Name your workflow as ‘Detect and Block Spam Leads’.
• Select the appropriate folder for organization.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will need to set a trigger. Choose Google Sheets as your trigger application since you will be receiving lead data from a Google form. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automatically detect new submissions.

3. Setting Up the AI Agent for Spam Detection

With your workflow created, the next step is to integrate an AI agent to analyze incoming leads. Select OpenAI as your action application within Pabbly Connect. This AI agent will help determine if the lead is spam or not.

In this step, you will configure the AI model settings. Use the prompt: ‘Analyze the given email address and determine if it is likely to be spam based on common spam indicators.’ This prompt will guide the AI in making accurate assessments. Ensure that you map the email address from the Google Sheets response to this field.

• Select OpenAI as the action application.
• Enter the AI prompt for spam detection.
• Map the email address field from Google Sheets to the AI prompt.

Once the AI is set up, you will receive a response indicating whether the lead is spam or not. This response will be crucial for the next step in your workflow.

4. Filtering Leads Based on AI Response

After receiving the AI’s response, the next task is to filter leads. Use Pabbly Connect to set up a filter condition based on the AI’s output. If the response indicates that the lead is not spam, proceed to add the lead details to your Google Sheets. If it is spam, the workflow will stop.

To set this up, select the Filter option in Pabbly Connect. Set the condition to check if the AI response equals ‘not spam’. If true, the workflow will continue to the next step of adding the lead to Google Sheets.

Select the Filter option in Pabbly Connect. Set the condition to check for ‘not spam’ responses. Continue the workflow to add valid leads to Google Sheets.

This filtering ensures that only genuine leads are added to your database, effectively blocking spam leads.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

The final step in this process is to complete your automation by adding the action to store valid leads. Use Pabbly Connect to connect to Google Sheets again and select the action to add a new row in your designated spreadsheet.

Map all relevant fields from the lead data, including first name, last name, email, phone number, city, and state. This mapping ensures that all necessary information is accurately recorded in your Google Sheets.

Once you have completed the mapping, test your workflow to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Submit a test lead through your Google form to check if the automation works as expected. If successful, your setup is complete!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to use Pabbly Connect to automatically detect and block spam leads using an AI agent. By integrating Google Sheets and OpenAI, you can efficiently manage your leads and ensure only valid submissions are recorded. This automation saves time and enhances your lead management process.
