1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin using Pabbly Connect for integrating OpenAI with Google Forms and Google Docs, visit the Pabbly website. After navigating to the URL Pabbly.com/connect, you will find options to sign in or sign up for free. New users can create an account quickly, receiving 100 free tasks upon registration.

Once logged in, click on the Access Now button for Pabbly Connect. This action will take you to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow, essential for automating the integration process between Google Forms, OpenAI, and Google Docs.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you’ll create a workflow that uses Pabbly Connect to trigger actions based on Google Forms submissions. Click on the Create Workflow button and name it appropriately, such as ‘Use OpenAI with Google Forms and Google Docs’. This title reflects the purpose of your integration.

Next, select Google Forms as the trigger application and choose the event New Response Received. This trigger ensures that every time a form is submitted, the workflow will automatically execute, capturing the response in real-time.

• Click on the Google Forms icon.
• Choose the trigger event New Response Received.
• Copy the provided webhook URL.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to configure your Google Form to send data to this URL. This will allow Pabbly Connect to receive data from the form submissions.

3. Configuring Google Forms for Automation

To configure your Google Form, go to the form’s settings and ensure that it is set to send responses to the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. This involves navigating to the responses tab, clicking on the three dots, and selecting Select Response Destination.

Here, you can create a new spreadsheet to collect responses. After creating the spreadsheet, make sure to format it to clearly display the fields such as timestamp, full name, contact number, and suggested topics for the newsletter articles.

• Ensure the last question in your form is a required field.
• Toggle the required field option to ensure responses are captured correctly.

After setting up the form, test it by submitting a sample response. This will allow you to verify that Pabbly Connect captures the data as intended.

4. Integrating OpenAI for Content Generation

With your Google Form configured, the next step is to use Pabbly Connect to integrate OpenAI. Add a new action step in your workflow and select OpenAI as the application. The action event should be set to Generate Content, allowing you to create content based on the form submissions.

To connect OpenAI with Pabbly Connect, you will need to generate an API key from your OpenAI account. Once you have the key, paste it into the connection setup in Pabbly Connect. This connection enables the automation of content generation based on the inputs received from Google Forms.

Log in to your OpenAI account and generate a new secret key. Copy the API key and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Map the necessary fields such as the article topic to generate relevant content.

Once the content is generated, it will be ready to be appended to a Google Doc, completing the integration process.

5. Finalizing the Document Creation in Google Docs

The last step in this integration involves using Pabbly Connect to create a document in Google Docs. Select Google Docs as the application and choose the action event Create a Blank Document. Map the document name to the title generated from OpenAI, ensuring that each document reflects the topic suggested in the form.

After creating the blank document, the next action will be to append the generated content from OpenAI to this document. Again, select Google Docs and choose the action event Append a Paragraph to a Document. Map the document ID and the generated content to complete this step. This ensures that the article is saved in Google Docs, making it accessible for future reference.

To finalize, test the entire workflow by submitting another response through the Google Form. Check both the Google Sheet for the response and Google Docs for the newly created article. This confirms that the integration using Pabbly Connect was successful and automated the content generation process.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to integrate OpenAI with Google Forms and Google Docs. By following the steps outlined, you can automate the process of generating content based on form submissions, saving time and effort. This integration showcases the power of automation in streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity.
