1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating WhatsApp messages to Facebook leads, first access Pabbly Connect. You can do this by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications, including WhatsApp and Facebook.

Once on the homepage, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free. New users can create an account and receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect and set up automations.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in to Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and a dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. For this example, name it ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Message to Facebook Lead for Makeup Studio’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

Upon creation, you will have two windows open: one for the trigger and the other for the action. The trigger will be set to Facebook Lead Ads, and the action will be WhatsApp Cloud API. This setup ensures that every time a new lead is generated, a WhatsApp message is sent automatically.

3. Setting Up Facebook Lead Ads as Trigger

In this step, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Lead Instant’, which will activate the workflow as soon as a new lead is generated.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Facebook account. If you are already logged in, the authorization will be successful. Now, you need to select your Facebook page and the lead gen form associated with it.

• Choose the page (e.g., Divine Glamour).
• Select the lead gen form (e.g., Contact Form).

After selecting the appropriate options, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will prepare Pabbly Connect to capture the lead information once the form is submitted.

4. Testing Integration with Facebook Lead Ads

To test the integration, you will need to submit a test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool. This step is crucial to ensure that Pabbly Connect correctly captures the lead information.

Access the Meta for Developers page and navigate to the lead ads testing tool. Select your page and the form, then submit a test lead. Ensure that the response is captured in Pabbly Connect after submission.

Select the page and form. Submit the form to generate a test lead.

If successful, Pabbly Connect will display the captured lead information, confirming that the integration is working correctly. This information will be used in the next step to send WhatsApp messages.

5. Sending WhatsApp Messages via WhatsApp Cloud API

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action to send WhatsApp messages using the WhatsApp Cloud API in Pabbly Connect. Select WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event.

Connect your WhatsApp Cloud API account by providing necessary details like the token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These details can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API settings under the API setup section.

Copy and paste the access token. Enter the phone number ID and business account ID.

Once connected, select the message template you want to use for sending WhatsApp messages. Make sure the template is approved, and map the necessary fields like the recipient’s mobile number and the message body. This setup enables Pabbly Connect to send personalized messages to each lead automatically.
