2. Setting Up Facebook Leads as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up Facebook leads as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This step is crucial because it determines when your automation will activate.

Search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ in the trigger application section. Once found, select it and choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant.’ This setup ensures that every time a new lead is generated, the workflow will be triggered automatically.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection between Facebook Lead Ads and Pabbly Connect.
• Follow the prompts to log into your Facebook account and authorize the connection.
• Select the relevant Facebook page and lead generation form for your digital marketing agency.

After you have successfully set this up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect is ready to capture leads.

3. Testing the Facebook Leads Submission

Once your trigger is set, it’s time to test the integration with a new lead submission. This step verifies that Pabbly Connect can accurately receive data from Facebook Lead Ads.

To conduct a test, navigate to the Meta for Developers page and use the Lead Ads Testing Tool. Select your Facebook page and lead form, then submit a test lead. This action will simulate a real lead submission.

Search for your page and select the lead generation form. Fill out the form with test data and click on ‘Submit.’ Return to Pabbly Connect to check if the test lead data has been captured.

If successful, you will see the lead details captured in Pabbly Connect, confirming that your integration is functioning correctly.

4. Sending Automated WhatsApp Messages

With the trigger successfully set and tested, the next step is to configure the action application to send WhatsApp messages. In this case, you will use the Interact app through Pabbly Connect.

Search for ‘Interact’ in the action application section and select the action event as ‘Send WhatsApp Template Message.’ You will need to establish a connection between Interact and Pabbly Connect by entering your API key from your Interact account.

Copy your API key from the Interact profile under Developer Settings. Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save.’ Map the phone number field from the test lead data to ensure the message is sent to the right recipient.

After mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the WhatsApp message setup works as intended.
