2. Setting Up Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this section, you will configure the trigger application using Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application. The trigger event will be set to New Lead Instant.

  • Choose Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application.
  • Set the trigger event to New Lead Instant.
  • Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, select the Facebook page and lead generation form from your account. Make sure the lead generation form is live before testing it to ensure data is captured correctly.


3. Creating a Sample Lead Submission

After setting up the trigger, you need to generate a sample lead submission. This is done through the Meta for Developers platform. Navigate to your lead ads debug tool and fill out the form with dummy data.

  • Fill out the form with sample details like first name, last name, email, phone number, and city.
  • Submit the form to generate a lead.
  • Return to Pabbly Connect to see the captured lead data.

Once you submit the form, you will see the lead data reflected in Pabbly Connect. This data will be used in the next steps to send the WhatsApp message.


4. Setting Up Action with YTI

Next, you will configure the action application using Pabbly Connect. Select YTI as the action application and set the action event to Send Template Message.

Connect your YTI account by providing the API endpoint and access token from the YTI API documentation. Make sure to map the WhatsApp number and template details correctly in Pabbly Connect.

Map the WhatsApp number from the lead data. Select the template to use for the message. Ensure the custom parameters are formatted correctly.

After mapping all necessary details, click on Save and Send Test Request. This will send a test message to the lead’s WhatsApp number, confirming that your integration works correctly.
