WhatsApp integration allows businesses to send automated messages via WhatsApp whenever they receive new leads from Facebook lead ads. This process enhances communication and streamlines lead management. By using Pabbly Connect, you can easily create workflows that connect Facebook lead ads to WhatsApp.

To start, ensure you have a Facebook page and lead generation form set up for your event management company. This setup will facilitate the integration process. Below are the basic steps to integrate these applications:

  • Create a Facebook lead ad for your event.
  • Set up a WhatsApp account for messaging.
  • Use Pabbly Connect to link the two applications.

After completing these steps, you can proceed to set up the workflow in Pabbly Connect for sending messages automatically.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect is essential for automating the process of sending WhatsApp messages. Start by signing into your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks monthly.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Facebook Leads to WhatsApp,’ and save it under the relevant folder. This organization will help you manage multiple workflows effectively.

  • Click on ‘Create Workflow’ in your dashboard.
  • Name your workflow appropriately.
  • Select the appropriate folder for organization.

After saving your workflow, you will be directed to a window where you can set up triggers and actions for your automation.

3. Setting Up Trigger and Action Applications

To integrate WhatsApp and Facebook lead ads, you need to set up a trigger and an action in Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be your Facebook lead ads, and the action will be sending a WhatsApp message.

In the trigger section, select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application and choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event. This selection ensures that every time a new lead is generated, the workflow activates automatically. Next, for the action application, select ‘Interact’ to send WhatsApp messages.

Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event. Select ‘Interact’ as the action application.

With these settings in place, your workflow will be ready to send automated WhatsApp messages to new leads captured from Facebook.

4. Establishing Connections Between Applications

Establishing connections between Facebook lead ads and Pabbly Connect is crucial for the workflow to function. Click on the ‘Connect’ button in Pabbly Connect to add a new connection for Facebook lead ads. You will be prompted to log into your Facebook account and authorize the connection.

Once the connection is established, select your Facebook page and the corresponding lead generation form associated with your event management company. For example, select the page named ‘Sparkle Evenings’ and the lead form titled ‘New Contact Leads Form’. After making your selections, click ‘Save’ and send a test request to confirm the connection.

Click ‘Connect’ and log into Facebook. Select your Facebook page. Choose the lead generation form associated with your page.

After setting up the connections, you will be ready to test the workflow by submitting a test lead.

5. Testing the Integration and Sending WhatsApp Messages

To ensure that your integration is working correctly, you need to test the workflow by submitting a test lead through Facebook lead ads. This test will confirm that the data is being captured in Pabbly Connect and that WhatsApp messages are being sent successfully.

Navigate to the ‘Meta for Developers’ page and use the lead ads testing tool to create a test lead. Fill in the required fields such as contact number, email, first name, and last name, and submit the form. Once the test lead is submitted, check Pabbly Connect to see if the details have been captured correctly.

Go to the ‘Meta for Developers’ page. Use the lead ads testing tool to create a test lead. Check if the details are captured in Pabbly Connect.

If the test lead is successfully captured, you can then proceed to set up the WhatsApp message template and send a test message to confirm the entire integration works as intended.
