1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin automating the process of creating Pinterest pins from Slack messages, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to your web browser and entering the URL for Pabbly Connect.

Once on the Pabbly Connect landing page, you have options to sign up for a new account or log in if you are an existing user. If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘AI Agent for Pinterest Images from Slack’. Select the appropriate folder for your workflow. using Pabbly Connect

• Click ‘Create’ to open the workflow.
• This opens two windows: the trigger and action window.

In the trigger window, you will set up the Slack integration. This is essential as it enables the AI agent to capture messages from your Slack channel when they are posted.

3. Integrating Slack with Pabbly Connect

In the trigger step, search for Slack in the app selection. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Message’. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection between Slack and Pabbly Connect. You will need to select either a user-based or bot-based connection; for this tutorial, a bot-based connection is recommended.

After selecting the connection type, click on ‘Save’. A pop-up will appear asking for authorization. Click on ‘Allow’ to grant Pabbly Connect access to your Slack account. Next, select the channel from which you want to capture messages; for example, select ‘Pinterest Pins AI’ from the dropdown menu.

4. Sending the Message to OpenAI for Image Generation

Once the Slack integration is set up, the next step is to send the captured message to OpenAI to generate an image. In the action step, search for OpenAI and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Generate Image’ and connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key. using Pabbly Connect

After establishing the connection, you will need to select the model you want to use for image generation. Input the prompt that was captured from Slack into the appropriate field. This is done by mapping the Slack message to the OpenAI action step. Specify the number of images and the desired size, then click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

• Choose the model (e.g., DALL-E 3).
• Map the prompt from the Slack message.
• Specify the image size and quality.

After clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’, you will receive a response containing the generated image URL.

5. Analyzing the Image and Creating a Pinterest Pin

The final step involves analyzing the generated image and creating a Pinterest pin. In this step, you will use OpenAI again, but this time select the action event ‘Extract Content from PDF/Image’. Connect to OpenAI using the previous connection. using Pabbly Connect

Input the generated image URL into the designated field and provide a prompt for OpenAI to analyze the image and generate a title and description. Use a structured output format to ensure you receive separate responses for title, description, and alt text.

Enter the prompt for OpenAI to analyze the image. Map the image URL from the previous step. Specify the structured output in JSON format.

Finally, connect your Pinterest account via Pabbly Connect and use the details generated by OpenAI to create a pin in your selected Pinterest board. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process.
