Next, provide a suitable name for your workflow, such as ‘Schedule Google Business Profile Post from Google Sheets Using OpenAI’. Select the folder for your workflow and click on ‘Create’. This is the first step in utilizing Pabbly Connect to automate your posting process.

2. Scheduling the Automation with Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your automation. Select the ‘Schedule’ option in Pabbly Connect, which allows you to run your workflow at a specific time. Choose the frequency of execution; for this example, select ‘Every Day’ to schedule daily posts.

• Choose the time for automation execution, e.g., 10:40 AM.
• Confirm the scheduling by clicking ‘Save’.

By using the scheduling feature of Pabbly Connect, you ensure that your Google Business Profile is updated daily with new content, keeping your audience engaged.

3. Fetching Data from Google Sheets

After scheduling, the next step involves fetching the content details from Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your application and choose the action event ‘Get Row’. This allows you to retrieve the specific row of data needed for your post.

Connect your Google Sheets account with Pabbly Connect by adding a new connection. Once connected, select the spreadsheet containing your post data. Specify the range as ‘A2 to C’ to ensure all relevant information is captured, including topics, image URLs, and target URLs. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.

4. Generating Content Using OpenAI

In this part of the automation, you will utilize OpenAI to generate content based on the topic fetched from Google Sheets. Select OpenAI as your application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Chat GPT’. Connect your OpenAI account by providing the necessary API token.

Set up the prompt for OpenAI to generate content. For example, instruct it to create content not exceeding 1,500 characters on the specified topic. Map the topic from the previous step to ensure the content is relevant. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the content.

5. Posting to Google Business Profile

The final step is to post the generated content to your Google Business Profile. Select Google Business Profile as your application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Create Call to Action Post’. Connect your Google Business Profile account as you did in previous steps.

Map the content generated by OpenAI to the summary field in the Google Business Profile post. Specify the call to action type, such as ‘Learn More’, and provide the target URL for users to visit. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the post. This integration allows you to automate your business profile updates seamlessly.
