To send automated WhatsApp messages to your dance academy leads, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Facebook lead ads and WhatsApp messages.

Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free, which only takes a couple of minutes. Once signed in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect to reach the dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will see the option to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and a pop-up will appear for naming your workflow. Name it something descriptive, such as ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Message to Dance Academy Leads’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed to the next step.

This will take you to the main workflow window where you can set up your trigger and action. Remember, the trigger is the event that starts the workflow, and the action is what happens as a result.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. For this integration, select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. Then, choose ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to authorize the connection by logging into your Facebook account. Once connected, you will see options to select your Facebook page and lead generation form.

• Choose your page, such as ‘NR Dance Academy’.
• Select your lead gen form, like the ‘Registration Form’.

After making these selections, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is set up correctly. This step is crucial for mapping the lead details later.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send WhatsApp Messages

Now that the trigger is configured, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Here, select ‘Vati’ as your action application and choose the ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event.

To connect Vati with Pabbly Connect, you need to provide the API endpoint and access token from your Vati account. Copy these details from the Vati API documentation and paste them into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect.

Map the WhatsApp number from the Facebook lead response. Select your pre-approved message template, such as ‘Dance Academy Lead’.

Once you have completed these steps, click on ‘Save and Send Test’ to verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully to the lead.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing the Workflow

With the action set up, it’s essential to test the integration in Pabbly Connect. After sending the test message, check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message was received. The message should reflect the template you created earlier.

If the test is successful, your workflow is ready! You can now automate sending WhatsApp messages to every new lead captured from your Facebook ads. This integration allows you to engage with potential students promptly and efficiently.

Review your workflow settings to ensure everything is correct. Activate your workflow to start automation.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up an automated WhatsApp messaging system for your dance academy leads using Pabbly Connect.
