1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Integration

To send WhatsApp messages to your construction business’s Facebook leads, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page where you can choose to sign in or sign up for a free account.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to receive 100 free tasks every month. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’ to access their dashboard. Once logged in, you will be ready to create a new workflow for your WhatsApp and Facebook integration.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in to Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Work Joy Facebook Leads to WhatsApp Message.’
• Select a folder for your workflow, such as ‘Facebook Leads to WhatsApp.’
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

Now your workflow is ready, and you can set up the trigger and action for your automation process. The trigger will be from Facebook Lead Ads and the action will be to send a message through WhatsApp Cloud API.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application and select ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event. This ensures that every time a new lead is generated, Pabbly Connect captures this event.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with Facebook. If you haven’t connected your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect, you will need to add a new connection. After selecting your Facebook account, authorize the connection.

• Select your Facebook page, for example, ‘Work Joy Contractors.’
• Choose the lead form you created for capturing leads.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to proceed.

This will allow Pabbly Connect to wait for a webhook response, indicating that a new lead has been captured successfully.

4. Connecting WhatsApp Cloud API in Pabbly Connect

Now, you will configure the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ as your action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your WhatsApp Cloud API account.

To connect successfully, you will need your token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. If you haven’t set up your WhatsApp Cloud API account yet, refer to the Meta for Developers documentation for guidance.

Copy and paste the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID into Pabbly Connect. Select the message template you’ve created for sending WhatsApp messages. Map the recipient’s mobile number from the lead data captured earlier.

Once everything is set up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test WhatsApp message to verify that the integration works correctly.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

To ensure that your integration is functioning as expected, you will need to test it out. Go back to the lead testing tool in Meta for Developers and submit a new lead. This will trigger the automation you set up in Pabbly Connect.

After submitting the new lead, check your WhatsApp to see if the message has been received. The message should include the variables you set up, such as the lead’s name and other relevant details.

Delete any existing lead in the testing tool to create a new one. Fill in the new lead form with relevant information. Submit the form and wait a few seconds for the WhatsApp message.

If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a WhatsApp message confirming the successful automation of sending messages to your leads. This completes the integration process using Pabbly Connect.
