To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Facebook Leads to WhatsApp’. This helps in identifying the workflow later.

Next, select the folder where you want to save this workflow. After clicking on ‘Create’, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window is where you will set up the Facebook Lead Ads integration.

• Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the app in the trigger window.
• Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account by clicking on ‘Connect with Facebook Lead Ads’.

Once connected, select the Facebook page where you are running your ads and the lead generation form you wish to use. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture new leads automatically.

3. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using AiSensy

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to send a WhatsApp message to the new lead using AiSensy through Pabbly Connect. Scroll down to the action step and select AiSensy.

In the action event dropdown, choose ‘Send Template Message’. You will need to connect your AiSensy account by entering your API key. This key can be found in your AiSensy account under the API key section.

• Create a WhatsApp message template in AiSensy.
• Map the lead’s mobile number from the trigger step to send the message.
• Include parameters like the lead’s first name for personalization.

Once the message template is set up and the parameters are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send a test message to ensure everything is working correctly.

4. Receiving Notifications for New Leads

The final part of the workflow involves setting up a notification for yourself or your team. In the action step of Pabbly Connect, add another AiSensy action to send a WhatsApp message with the lead details.

Use the same connection as before, but create a new campaign in AiSensy specifically for notifications. Name this campaign ‘New Lead Received’ and select the appropriate template that includes all relevant lead details.

Map the lead’s first name, email, mobile number, and city to the corresponding parameters in your template. Ensure to enter your WhatsApp number for receiving notifications. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

Once this is complete, you will receive WhatsApp notifications with the details of every new lead generated through your Facebook Lead Ads.

5. Testing Your Automation Workflow

Now that your workflow is set up, it’s crucial to test it to ensure everything functions as expected. You can use the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool to generate a test lead.

After generating a test lead, check your WhatsApp for the message sent to the lead and the notification received on your phone. This confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the process.

Delete previous test leads before generating a new one. Verify that both the lead and your notification messages are accurate. Adjust any parameters if necessary for future leads.

With these tests, you can confirm that your automation is working perfectly, allowing you to focus on nurturing your leads effectively.
