In this section, you will create a workflow that connects Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of your dashboard. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow.

  • Workflow Name: Send Followup WhatsApp Message to Facebook Leads

After naming your workflow and selecting the desired folder, click on the ‘Create’ button. This will set up the basic structure for your automation, allowing you to configure triggers and actions.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger for your automation in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger application option and select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’ to capture new leads generated from your Facebook ads.

Once you select the trigger application and event, click on the ‘Connect’ button. A new window will appear prompting you to authorize your Facebook account. Make sure you are logged into your Facebook account in a separate tab to complete this connection easily.

4. Configuring the Action in Pabbly Connect

After successfully setting up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action step using Pabbly Connect. For the action application, select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ and choose the action event ‘Send Template Message’. This will allow you to send WhatsApp messages to the leads captured from Facebook.

  • Connect WhatsApp Cloud API: Click ‘Connect’ and enter the required details including token and phone number ID.
  • Select Template: Choose the message template you created for sending WhatsApp messages.

Fill in the recipient’s mobile number by mapping it from the previous trigger step. This dynamic mapping ensures that each new lead receives a personalized message directly to their WhatsApp.

5. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

Once you have configured both the trigger and action, it’s essential to test your integration using Pabbly Connect. Generate a test lead using Facebook Lead Ads and monitor the workflow to check if the WhatsApp message is sent successfully.

After submitting the test lead, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard and check for the response. If the setup is correct, you will receive a confirmation that the WhatsApp message has been sent. This validates that your automation is functioning as intended.
