To set up your trigger in Pabbly Connect, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Lead Instant’, which captures new leads automatically.

Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with Facebook. If you haven’t connected your Facebook account yet, choose ‘Add New Connection’.

• Select the template you want to use for sending messages.
• Map the recipient’s mobile number and any variables needed in the message.
• Save and send a test request to ensure everything is set up correctly.

Once the test request is successful, you will see a confirmation that the message was accepted, indicating that your automation is working.

5. Testing and Verifying Your Automation

After setting everything up in Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to test the automation. Return to the lead testing tool in Meta for Developers and delete any previous test leads to create a new one.

Submit a new lead with the required information, including your actual phone number. Once submitted, check your WhatsApp for the automated message. You should receive a personalized message confirming the lead’s inquiry.
