  • Enter the workflow name.
  • Select a folder to save your workflow.
  • Click on Create.

With your workflow created, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the Action will be WhatsApp Cloud API. This setup allows you to send a WhatsApp message automatically whenever a new lead is generated.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application. The trigger event you want is New Lead Instant. This event ensures that whenever a new lead is generated, it triggers the WhatsApp message automation.

Click on Connect and then select Add New Connection to link your Facebook account. Once authorized, choose the specific Facebook page and lead generation form you are using, such as Divine Glamour and Contact Form.

  • Select your Facebook page.
  • Choose the lead gen form.
  • Click Save and Send Test Request.

After saving, you will need to test the integration by submitting a lead through your form. This will capture the lead’s information in Pabbly Connect.

4. Configuring the Action with WhatsApp Cloud API

Now that your trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action. Select WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and choose Send Template Message as the action event. Click on Connect and add a new connection.

You will need to enter three pieces of information: the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API settings under the API setup section.

Copy the access token. Copy the phone number ID. Copy the WhatsApp business account ID.

Once you’ve entered these details, your WhatsApp Cloud API will be connected to Pabbly Connect, allowing you to send messages to your leads.

5. Sending WhatsApp Messages to Leads

With your action configured, it’s time to send WhatsApp messages. Select the template you created for your messages, such as Divine Glamour. Ensure your template has been approved for use.

In the message configuration, map the recipient’s mobile number and the body of the message. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically insert the lead’s details into the message, ensuring each lead receives a personalized message.

Map the mobile number from the Facebook lead response. Map the name variable in the message body. Click Save and Send Test Request.

Once you click the test request, you will receive a confirmation indicating that the message was sent successfully. You can check your WhatsApp to verify the message was received, confirming the successful automation of WhatsApp messages through Pabbly Connect.
