Setting Up Trigger with Facebook Leads in Pabbly Connect

To send WhatsApp messages to Facebook leads, we first need to set up a trigger in Pabbly Connect. The trigger will activate when a new lead is generated on Facebook. Start by selecting Facebook as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This will ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the response immediately when a new lead is created.

Next, you will connect your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and select ‘Add New Connection’. If your Facebook account is already integrated, you can choose ‘Select Existing Connection’. After successful authentication, select your Facebook page, which is named as ‘G mini’ in this instance. Now, choose your lead generation form to capture leads specifically from that form.

Testing the Facebook Leads Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Once you have set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test it. Click on ‘Save’ and then ‘Send Test Request’. At this point, Pabbly Connect will be waiting for a webhook response. To test this, go to the Meta for Developers page and select the Lead Ads Testing Tool.

• Select your page ‘G mini’.
• Choose the lead form you created.
• Submit a test lead with dummy data.

After submitting the test lead, return to Pabbly Connect. You should see that a response has been successfully received, including the full name, email, and phone number of the lead. This confirms that your Facebook leads are now connected to Pabbly Connect.

Setting Up WhatsApp Cloud API Action in Pabbly Connect

With the trigger set, the next step is to set up the action using the WhatsApp Cloud API in Pabbly Connect. Select WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your WhatsApp Cloud API account.

Here, you will need to input your temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp Business Account ID. These details can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API setup on the Meta for Developers page. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’. Next, you will need to select your message template, which should be created in advance.

Sending WhatsApp Message to Leads via Pabbly Connect

After setting up the WhatsApp Cloud API action, it’s time to send a WhatsApp message to the new leads captured in Pabbly Connect. Select the message template you created earlier, such as ‘Facebook Leads Message’. This template contains dynamic variables, allowing the message to be personalized for each lead.

• Map the recipient’s mobile number from the lead data.
• Input the variable for the full name in the message body.
• Click on ‘Save’ and then ‘Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

Upon successful testing, you will receive a WhatsApp message confirming the setup. This message will include the dynamic variables, ensuring that each lead receives a personalized greeting. This entire process showcases how Pabbly Connect effectively automates the communication with leads.

Final Testing and Conclusion

To ensure everything works perfectly, you should conduct a final test by submitting a new lead through the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool again. After deleting the previous lead, you can create a new one with your original phone number. This will allow you to receive a WhatsApp message confirming the successful integration.

Once you submit the new lead, check your WhatsApp. You should receive a message indicating that the integration is functioning correctly. This tutorial illustrates how Pabbly Connect can seamlessly integrate WhatsApp with Facebook leads, automating the process of sending personalized messages to potential customers.
