1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Blog Automation

To start automating your blog writing, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful platform allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. If you’re new to Pabbly Connect, sign up for a free account to get started.

Once you are logged into your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This will allow you to set up your automation process. You will need to name your workflow, for example, ‘Write a Blog Automatically’. This name helps you identify your automation later.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. This is where you will input the blog titles. For the trigger event, select ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new title is added or updated in your spreadsheet, the automation will be triggered.

• Open your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions.
• Select Add-ons and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
• Install the add-on if you haven’t done so already.

After installing the add-on, click on the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option and paste the webhook URL you received from Pabbly Connect. This will allow your Google Sheets to communicate with Pabbly Connect effectively.

3. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

After connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to integrate OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. This integration will automatically generate blog content based on the titles you provide. Choose OpenAI as your next application and select the action event as ‘Generate Content’.

To connect OpenAI, you will need to use an API key. This can be obtained from the OpenAI website. Once you have the key, paste it into the required field in Pabbly Connect. After connecting, you can set parameters such as the model and content length for your blog posts.

• Select the model you want to use (e.g., text-davinci-003).
• Specify the maximum tokens for the content generation.
• Set any stop sequences if needed.

With these settings, your blog will be generated automatically based on the title inputted in Google Sheets.

4. Saving Generated Blogs to Google Docs via Pabbly Connect

Once the content is generated, you will want to save it to Google Docs. This process is facilitated by Pabbly Connect as well. Choose Google Docs as the next application and select the action event as ‘Create New Document’.

Map the title of the blog from the previous step to the document name. This ensures that the document is named appropriately based on the title. After creating the document, you can append the generated content to this document using another action in Pabbly Connect.

To do this, add another Google Docs action and select ‘Append Paragraph’. Map the generated content from OpenAI to this action. This will result in the blog being saved in Google Docs with the correct content.

5. Updating Google Sheets with Blog Links

The final step in your automation process is to update Google Sheets with the link to the generated blog. This is done through Pabbly Connect by using Google Drive to share the document link.

Choose Google Drive as your next application and select the action event as ‘Share a File with Anyone’. Map the document ID of the newly created Google Docs document. This will change the permissions so anyone with the link can access it.

Finally, add another Google Sheets action to update the specific cell with the document link. Map the cell range to where you want the link to appear, and the link will be updated automatically whenever a new blog is generated.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate your blog writing process by integrating Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Google Docs. This automation not only saves time but also ensures consistency in your blogging efforts.
