2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in to Pabbly Connect, you will need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Name it ‘Send Follow-up Message to Facebook Leads Automatically’ and select a folder for saving this workflow.

• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event.

Once you have set up the trigger, click on ‘Connect’ to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. This will allow the integration to capture new leads automatically.

3. Configuring Facebook Lead Ads in Pabbly Connect

After successfully connecting your Facebook account, select the specific Facebook page and lead generation form from which you want to capture leads. For this example, choose the page named ‘Sparkle Evenings’ and the lead form called ‘New Leads’.

Next, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect captures the lead details properly. If the test is successful, you will receive a response containing the lead information.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

With the lead information captured, the next step is to send WhatsApp messages. For this, select ‘WATI’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event and connect your WATI account by entering the API endpoint and access token.

• Map the WhatsApp number from the lead information.
• Select the template you want to use for the message.
• Enter the broadcast title and custom parameters as required.

Once everything is configured, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the message is sent successfully. If you receive a confirmation, your setup is working correctly.

5. Setting Up Delays for Follow-up Messages

To send follow-up messages for three consecutive days, you will need to add delay actions in your workflow. Click on ‘Add Action Step’ and select ‘Delay’. Set the delay duration to 24 hours. This will ensure that the first follow-up message is sent the next day.

Repeat the process by adding another delay action for another 24 hours. After the second delay, configure the WhatsApp message action again to send the follow-up message using the same template. This way, Pabbly Connect will automate the sending of messages for three consecutive days without manual intervention.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can effectively automate the process of sending follow-up WhatsApp messages to Facebook leads for three consecutive days. This integration not only saves time but also enhances communication with potential clients.
