Let us explore how you can integrate Google Sheets with OpenAI and Telegram. Following this integration, you will be able to automatically generate articles using Google Sheets and OpenAI, save those articles in Google Docs, and share them with anyone via Telegram.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect to capture the topic for your article, then link Pabbly Connect with OpenAI to generate an article, link Pabbly Connect with Google Docs to save that article, and lastly, share that article over Telegram.

1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Articles
4. Setup Google Docs as the Action App to Create Documents
5. Setup Google Docs as the Action App to Save the Article
6. Make the File Publicly Accessible
7. Setup Telegram as the Action App to Send Messages
Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
A. Sign In / Sign Up
To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.
Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button
B. Create Workflow
To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.
Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect
We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. This will help us to fetch the data from Google Sheets.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Google Sheets.
Choose ‘Google Sheets’ as the Trigger App and select ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as a Trigger Event.
B. Webhook URL
A new Webhook URL will get generated. You will use this Webhook URL to create a connection with your Google Sheets account. Copy the Webhook URL.
As soon as you Copy the Webhook URL, Pabbly Connect will start looking to capture data from Google Sheets, as indicated by the rotating Waiting For Webhook Response button.
C. Connect Google Sheets Account
To connect with your Google Sheets account, open the sheet where you want to enter the data, click on Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhook’.
Install the Pabbly Connect Webhook extension.
After installing the add-on, again click on Extension > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.
Paste the Webhook URL that we copied earlier, and in the Trigger Column, mention the name of the last column in which the data is available, and click on ‘Send Test’.
Now that the data is sent successfully – click on ‘Submit’.
Switch back to Pabbly Connect, expand Response Received, and the data you entered must be visible, thus confirming our established connection.
Step 3:- Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Articles
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
Since we want to generate articles on the captured topics using OpenAI – it will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘OpenAI’ as the Action App, select ‘Generate Content’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect OpenAI Account
To connect with your OpenAI account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to enter your API Token. Find your API Token by clicking on the ‘OpenAI API Keys page’ button.
Generate and copy your API Token, paste it into its given field, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Select the AI Model you want to use for generating the article.
C. Enter / Map the Necessary Fields
Now that you have connected your OpenAI account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.
Compose a Prompt by mapping the details from the step above.
Similarly, select/enter other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
As soon as you click on Save & Send Test Request, an article will automatically be generated using OpenAI.
Step 4:- Setup Google Docs as the Action App to Create Documents
Now that we have generated the article, we will now set up Google Docs as our Action App to create a new blank document to save the article.
Add another Action step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.
Choose ‘Google Docs’ as your Action App, select ‘Create a Blank Document’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Google Docs Account
To connect with your Google Docs account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Google Docs’. Also, grant the authorization.
Map the Document Name from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Doing this will create a blank document in your Google Docs account, where you can save the article.
Step 5:- Setup Google Docs as the Action App to Save the Article
Since we have already created a blank document to store the article, we will now set up Google Docs as the Action App to save the article in that blank document.
Add another Action step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Google Docs’ as the Action App, select ‘Append a Paragraph to a Document’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Establish Connection
Since we are already connected to the Google Docs account, all we need is to ‘Select Existing Connection’ and click on ‘Save’.
C. Map Necessary Fields
Toggle on the ‘Map’ button, and map the Document ID from the step above.
Similarly, map the Inserted Text, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the article will be automatically saved in your Google Docs document.
Step 6:- Make the File Publicly Accessible
To share the document via Telegram, we first have to make it publicly accessible.
Add another Action step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Google Drive’ as your Action App, select ‘Share the File with Anyone’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Establish Connection
Since we are already connected to the Google Drive account, all we need is to ‘Select Existing Connection’ and click on ‘Save’.
In the File ID field, switch on the ‘Map’ toggle, clear the field, map the ID from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Step 7:- Setup Telegram as the Action App to Send Messages
We essentially want to share the captured documents on the Telegram group. Therefore, Telegram Bot will be our Action App.
Add another Action step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Telegram Bot’ as the Action App, select ‘Send a Text Message or a Reply (HTML)’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Telegram Account
To connect with your Telegram account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be asked to enter your Token. Go to ‘https://telegram.me/BotFather’ and click on ‘Send Message’.
C. Create a New Bot
To capture files from Telegram, you are required to have a bot. Type ‘/newbot’ and send the message.
Give your new bot a Name and a Username, by entering both when asked.
Copy the API Token, paste it into its given field, and click on ‘Save’.
Add your bot to the group you want to send the message to.
D. Enter / Map the Necessary Fields
Copy and paste the Chat ID from your Telegram group URL.
Compose your Text Message by mapping the details from the above steps.
Disable the Notifications and Link Previews if you want, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, a message containing the link to the document will automatically be shared over Telegram.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Google Sheets with OpenAI and Telegram. Now, each time you enter a new topic in your Google Sheets spreadsheet, an article on the same topic will be generated using OpenAI, saved in a Google Docs document, and shared via Telegram.
