How to Auto-Generate WordPress Articles from YouTube Videos

  • by

In this post, we will look at how you can integrate YouTube with OpenAI and WordPress – following this integration, each time you upload a new video to your YouTube channel, OpenAI will generate an article on the same topic, and it will automatically be published on WordPress.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link YouTube with Pabbly Connect to capture the uploaded videos, then link Pabbly Connect with Open AI to generate the article, and publish the generated blog on WordPress.

Steps to Auto-Generate WordPress Articles from YouTube Videos

1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a connection between YouTube and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Articles
4. Setup WordPress as the Action App to Post Articles

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 YouTube and Pabbly Connect

We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between YouTube and Pabbly Connect – This will help us to fetch the newly uploaded YouTube videos.

A. Trigger App

Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be YouTube.

Choose ‘YouTube’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Establish Connection

To connect with your YouTube account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With YouTube’. Also, grant the authorization.

Select the Channel ID and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

Expand Response Received, where the details of your latest uploaded video must be visible – thus, confirming our 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 WordPress as the Action App to Post Articles

We essentially want to post the generated article on WordPress – thus, WordPress will be our Action App.
Add another Action step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.

A. Action App

Choose ‘WordPress’ as your Action App, select ‘Create a Post’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect WordPress Account

To connect with your WordPress account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your WordPress Username and WordPress Password.

Copy the Base URL from your WordPress dashboard, paste it into its given field, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

Select your Post Type.

C. Map Necessary Fields

Now that you have connected your WordPress 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.

Map the Post Title from the trigger step.

Similarly, map the other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the post will be shared on your WordPress account.

Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated YouTube with OpenAI and WordPress. Now, whenever you upload a new YouTube video, OpenAI will generate an article on the same topic, and the article will automatically be published on WordPress.
