1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start using Pabbly Connect, navigate to the official Pabbly website. Here, you can sign in or sign up for a free account. If you are a new user, you will have access to 100 free tasks every month, which is perfect for testing the integration.

Once you log into your Pabbly Connect account, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, workflows are essential for automating tasks between applications. After clicking on ‘Create Workflow’, you need to name your workflow. For instance, you can name it ‘AI Agent to Generate Shopify Blog Content Automatically’. Select a folder to save your workflow for better organization.

• Name your workflow.
• Select a folder to save the workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger section is where you define what event will start the workflow, while the action section defines what happens as a result of that trigger.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

The first step in your workflow is to set up a trigger. In this case, select ‘Google Sheets’ as your trigger application. The specific trigger event will be ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheet, it will trigger the workflow.

After selecting Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL is crucial for linking your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and head over to your Google Sheets.

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for and install the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ add-on.
• After installation, go back to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

In the Initial Setup dialog, paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which should be the column where you will enter new product data. This setup ensures that every time you add or update a product in your sheet, it sends the data to Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Blog Content Using AI

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to generate the blog content using an AI agent, such as OpenAI. In the action application section, select OpenAI and choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’. This integration allows you to utilize AI to create engaging blog posts based on the data entered in your Google Sheets.

After connecting OpenAI, you will need to provide an API token to authenticate the connection. Generate this token from your OpenAI account and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Next, specify the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-4 Mini, and set up the prompt that will guide the AI in generating the blog content.

Define the prompt for the AI, including product details. Map product name, ingredients, and benefits from the previous step. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the blog content.

After executing this step, you will receive a response containing the generated blog content and its title, ready to be published on your Shopify store.

5. Publishing the Blog on Shopify

Now that you have the blog content generated, the next action is to publish it on your Shopify account. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select ‘Shopify Legacy’ as the action application, with the action event set to ‘Create Blog Entry’. This step will automatically publish the blog content generated by the AI.

To connect Shopify, you will need to provide the admin API access token. This token can be obtained from your Shopify settings under the Apps section. After entering the token, specify the subdomain of your Shopify store and the blog ID where you want the new blog to appear.

Provide the title and content mapped from the previous AI response. Set the blog status to draft if you want to review it before publishing. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the blog.

After this, you can refresh your Shopify account to see the newly created blog post, confirming that the entire process has been successfully automated using Pabbly Connect.
