1. Setting Up WhatsApp and Facebook Lead Ads Integration

To send automated WhatsApp messages to leads generated through Facebook ads, start by integrating Pabbly Connect with WhatsApp and Facebook. This integration allows you to automate responses to new leads effectively.

Begin by signing into your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to avail 100 tasks for free every month. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard.


2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a workflow is essential for automating the process. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the upper right corner of the dashboard. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Message to Facebook Leads’.

  • Select the folder where you want to save the workflow.
  • Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the next step.

After creating the workflow, you will see options for selecting a trigger and an action. Set Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application and choose the event as ‘New Lead in Instant’. This setup ensures that every time a new lead comes in, the automation will kick off.


3. Connecting Facebook Lead Ads to Pabbly Connect

Now, it’s time to connect Facebook Lead Ads to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button next to the Facebook Lead Ads trigger. You will be prompted to log into your Facebook account, allowing Pabbly Connect access to your lead data.

Once connected, select the Facebook page associated with your bakery, such as ‘More Than Bakery’, and choose the lead form, for instance, ‘New Leads Form’. This selection ensures that leads generated from this specific form will trigger the WhatsApp messages.

  • Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the lead data.
  • This action will wait for a webhook response, so prepare for a test submission.

To perform a test submission, navigate to the Meta for Developers site and use the Lead Ads Testing Tool. Select your page and lead form, fill in the required details, and submit the form to verify the integration.


4. Sending Automated WhatsApp Messages

After confirming that the lead data is captured, the next step is to send automated WhatsApp messages using Pabbly Connect. For this, you will integrate WhatsApp via the Interact application.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button next to the action application. Enter the secret key from your Interact account under the developer settings. This establishes the necessary connection between Pabbly Connect and WhatsApp.

Map the phone number from the lead data to the WhatsApp message field. Set the template code name and language code (e.g., English).

Ensure that the body of the message includes personalized elements, such as the lead’s name, to enhance customer engagement. Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully.
