2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘How to Use an AI Agent to Automatically Generate LinkedIn Posts’. Select a folder for organization, such as ‘Automations’.

After naming your workflow, click on ‘Create’. This action will open the workflow window where you can set up the trigger and action steps. The trigger is what starts the workflow, and in this case, it will be a new or updated row in Google Sheets.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for new entries in your Google Sheets, which will trigger the AI agent to generate LinkedIn posts.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Next, to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, open your Google Sheets document. Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons. Search for and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension if you haven’t already.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to ensure the Pabbly Connect options appear. Go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field and specify the trigger column (for example, column E). Click on ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup.

• Ensure the webhook is set to send on event.
• Enter the necessary details in your Google Sheets.

Now, your Google Sheets is successfully connected to Pabbly Connect, and it is ready to send data whenever a new row is added or updated.

4. Using Open AI to Generate LinkedIn Posts

In this step, you will configure Pabbly Connect to use Open AI for generating LinkedIn posts. Select Open AI as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT’.

If you have not connected your Open AI account yet, you will need to create a new connection. Enter your Open AI API key, which you can obtain from the Open AI API key page. After entering the key, select the AI model (GPT-4 is recommended) and provide the prompt for generating the LinkedIn post.

Map the fields from the Google Sheets trigger to the Open AI prompt. Include the topic, goal, audience, tone, and call to action in your prompt.

Once all required fields are mapped and entered, click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to generate the LinkedIn post content. The AI agent will process your request and provide the generated content.

5. Posting the Generated Content on LinkedIn

The final step is to post the generated content on LinkedIn. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select LinkedIn as the action application. Choose ‘Share a Simple Text’ as the action event.

Just like the previous steps, you will need to connect your LinkedIn account to Pabbly Connect. Enter your LinkedIn credentials to establish the connection. After connecting, map the content generated by Open AI to the LinkedIn post content field.

Select the author for the LinkedIn post. Set the visibility options for the post (e.g., Pabbly).

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will publish the post on your LinkedIn account using the content generated by the AI agent. You can verify the post by refreshing your LinkedIn feed to see the new post.
