1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Integration

To send automated WhatsApp messages to your dairying business, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and logging into your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 free tasks each month.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard. Click on the option to access Pabbly Connect. This platform will enable you to create workflows that automate the process of sending messages whenever a new lead is generated through Facebook lead ads.


2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this example, you can name it ‘Humble Cows Dairy Facebook Leads to WhatsApp’.

  • Select a folder for your workflow to stay organized.
  • Choose the appropriate folder, such as ‘Facebook Leads to WhatsApp’.
  • Click ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

Your workflow is now set up and ready to define the trigger and action steps necessary for automation. This is where Pabbly Connect will facilitate the integration between Facebook lead ads and WhatsApp.


3. Setting Up Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow. Click on the arrow to choose your trigger application, which in this case is Facebook Lead Ads. Select the trigger event as ‘New Lead’ to ensure that every time a new lead is generated, Pabbly Connect captures this event.

Next, connect your Facebook Lead Ads account by clicking on ‘Connect’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. After authorization, select your Facebook page and the lead generation form you created earlier.

  • Choose the page associated with your dairy business.
  • Select the lead generation form you created for your business.
  • Click ‘Save’ and send a test request to verify the connection.

After this setup, Pabbly Connect will wait for a webhook response, indicating that a new lead has been captured successfully.


4. Setting Up Action with WhatsApp Cloud API

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to configure the action. Click the arrow to choose your action application, which will be WhatsApp Cloud API. The action event you need to select is ‘Send Template Message’. This allows you to send a predefined message template whenever a new lead is captured.

To connect WhatsApp Cloud API with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Connect’ and provide the necessary API details. This includes your temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID, which can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API setup.

Copy the temporary access token from your API setup and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Enter your phone number ID and WhatsApp business account ID. Select the template you want to use for sending messages.

After entering all the details, click ‘Save’ to finalize your action setup. This ensures that every time a new lead is generated, a WhatsApp message will be sent automatically.


5. Testing the WhatsApp Message Integration

With both the trigger and action steps configured, it’s time to test the integration. Use the lead ads testing tool to generate a test lead. Fill out the form with dummy details and submit it. This will simulate a new lead generation event.

After submission, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the response has been captured. If successful, you will see the details of the test lead displayed in the response section. You can now verify that the WhatsApp message is sent by checking your WhatsApp account.

Ensure that the mobile number entered in the test lead matches your WhatsApp number. Check your WhatsApp for the automated message. Repeat the process if necessary to confirm the automation works.

Once confirmed, you have successfully set up an automated WhatsApp messaging system for your dairying business using Pabbly Connect. This integration will help streamline communication with your leads, enhancing customer engagement.
