3. Configuring the WhatsApp Cloud API Action

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action using the WhatsApp Cloud API. Choose WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and set the action event to ‘Send Template Message.’ This allows you to send a pre-defined message to the lead. using Pabbly Connect
