1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Automation

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Pabbly Connect to send automated WhatsApp messages to leads generated via Facebook Lead Ads. This integration allows for instant communication with potential customers, enhancing engagement and response rates.

The process involves setting up a trigger in Pabbly Connect that activates whenever a new lead is captured from Facebook. This automation streamlines your marketing efforts by ensuring timely follow-ups with leads through WhatsApp.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To begin, log into your Pabbly Connect account and create a new workflow. The first step is to set up the trigger application. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This ensures that every time a new lead is generated, the workflow will initiate.

• Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ from the trigger application list.
• Choose the event ‘New Lead Instant’.

After selecting the trigger application, click on the ‘Connect’ button. You will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the authorization process.

3. Configuring the Action Step for WhatsApp

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to configure the action application. In this case, select ‘WhatsApp by AiSensy’ as your action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. This setup allows you to send predefined messages to your leads via WhatsApp.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with WhatsApp. You will need to enter your API key from your AiSensy account to complete this connection. Here are the steps to find your API key:

• Log into your AiSensy account.
• Navigate to the ‘Manage’ section.
• Click on the ‘API Key’ button to copy your key.

Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect and save the connection. This step is crucial for enabling WhatsApp messaging through Pabbly Connect.

4. Mapping Data for Dynamic Messaging

After connecting to WhatsApp, you will need to map the data from the Facebook lead to the WhatsApp message. First, enter the campaign name that you created in AiSensy. This ensures that the correct template message is sent to your leads.

Next, map the phone number and the name of the lead from the previous step in Pabbly Connect. This mapping allows the message to be personalized for each lead. Here’s how to do it:

Select the mobile number field from the Facebook lead data. Map the lead’s name to personalize the message.

By mapping these fields, every new lead will receive a WhatsApp message tailored to them, enhancing the interaction and response rate.

5. Testing Your Integration in Pabbly Connect

Once you have completed the mapping, it’s time to test your integration. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This action will trigger the WhatsApp message to be sent to the test lead you created earlier.

Check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message has been received. If successful, you should see a message that says, ‘Hello [Lead Name]’. This confirms that your integration between Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp via Pabbly Connect is working flawlessly.

In summary, by following these steps, you can effectively automate your responses to new leads from Facebook Lead Ads using Pabbly Connect. This setup not only saves time but also increases engagement with your leads.
