1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To streamline your press releases using Pabbly Connect, start by accessing the platform. You can do this by entering the URL Pabbly Connect in your browser. Once on the homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free.

If you are a new user, clicking on the ‘Sign up for free’ button will allow you to create an account within minutes. Existing users can simply sign in. After logging in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create workflows for automating your press release process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are on the dashboard of Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. For this example, name it ‘Streamline Press Releases with AI and Email Automation’.

• Select the folder for saving your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow setup.
• Understand the trigger and action steps that will form the basis of your automation.

After creating the workflow, you will need to set up the trigger and action steps that dictate how your automation will function. This is where Pabbly Connect shines, allowing seamless integration between your applications.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Google Sheets

For this automation, the first step is to set up the trigger using Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means every time a new row is added, it will trigger the automation in Pabbly Connect.

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge for transferring data. Copy the webhook URL and go to your Google Sheets. Under the ‘Extensions’ menu, navigate to ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and select ‘Initial Setup’.

• Paste the webhook URL in the designated field.
• Set the trigger column to the last column of your data.
• Click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection works.

After successfully setting up the trigger, every new row added in Google Sheets will automatically send data to Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Press Release Draft with OpenAI

With the trigger set, the next step is to generate a press release draft using OpenAI. In the action step of your workflow, select OpenAI as the application and choose the event as ‘Generate Content’. This allows Pabbly Connect to utilize AI for drafting press releases based on the data from Google Sheets.

To connect OpenAI, ensure you are logged into your OpenAI account. You will need to provide a prompt that instructs the AI on how to generate the press release. This prompt should include all necessary details such as company name, product name, and key highlights.

Select the model you want OpenAI to use, such as GPT-4. Map the fields from the previous step to ensure dynamic data generation. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the draft.

Once the test is successful, you will have a draft ready for the press release, automatically generated based on the input from Google Sheets.

5. Finalizing and Sending the Press Release

After generating the press release draft, the final step is to create a document in Google Docs and send it via email. For this, select Google Docs as your action application and choose ‘Create Document’ as the event. Name the document appropriately, such as ‘Press Release Draft for [Product Name]’.

Once the document is created, you can append the generated content from OpenAI to this document. Again, select Google Docs, but this time choose ‘Append Paragraph’ as the action event. Map the document ID and the generated content to ensure everything is recorded correctly.

Ensure the document is shareable by setting permissions in Google Drive. Select Gmail as the final action to send the email. Map the recipient’s email address and include the PDF link in the email content.

After completing these steps, your press release will be automatically formatted, saved, and sent to the relevant media contacts, showcasing how Pabbly Connect can streamline your press release process efficiently.
