Once you are logged into Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow to send automated WhatsApp messages. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Message to Facebook Leads for Electronics Business’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Test Integrations’.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

This will open two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger indicates what event starts the workflow, while the Action specifies what happens as a result. In this case, the trigger will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the action will be WhatsApp messages sent via Watti.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

To set up the trigger, select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ from the trigger application options in Pabbly Connect. Then, choose the trigger event, which should be ‘New Lead Instant’. This event will capture new leads generated from your Facebook ads.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button, and then select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Facebook Lead Ads account. Ensure you are logged into Facebook to simplify the connection process. Once connected, you will be prompted to select the Facebook page and lead generation form associated with your business.

• Select the Facebook page, e.g., ‘Electronics Digital Shop’.
• Choose the lead gen form you created for capturing leads.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the connection.

After clicking the save button, you need to perform a test submission to capture the lead response in Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages via Watti

After successfully setting up the trigger, you will now configure the action to send WhatsApp messages. Select Watti as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message’.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Watti account. You will need to enter your API endpoint and access token, which can be found in your Watti account under API docs.

Enter the WhatsApp number by mapping it from the previous step. Specify the template name you created in Watti, e.g., ‘Diwali Discounts’. Provide a broadcast title, which will appear in the message header.

After entering all necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully to the lead.
