1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate WhatsApp messages, first access Pabbly Connect by visiting its official website. Here, you can sign in if you are an existing user or sign up for a free account if you are new. Signing up provides you with 100 free tasks every month to explore the platform.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option to begin setting up your automation process. This step is crucial for connecting Elementor and Gala Box through Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Now, let’s create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Messages on Elementor Form Submission using Gala Box’. Choose a folder to save your workflow, like ‘WhatsApp Marketing Automations,’ and click ‘Create’.

• Name your workflow clearly for easy identification.
• Select the appropriate folder for organization.
• Ensure the workflow is saved correctly before proceeding.

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, and the Action is what happens in response. In this case, the Trigger will be Elementor and the Action will be Gala Box, both facilitated by Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Elementor

For the Trigger, select Elementor as the application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Form Submission’. This means whenever a form is submitted in Elementor, it will trigger the workflow to send a WhatsApp message.

Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, which will serve as a bridge to transfer data from Elementor. Log into your WordPress site, navigate to the Elementor form you want to connect, and edit it.

• In Elementor, go to the Actions After Submit section.
• Select Webhook and paste the copied URL.
• Update the form to save the changes.

After updating, the connection between Elementor and Pabbly Connect is complete. Test the form submission to ensure that data is captured correctly in Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up Action with Gala Box

Now, let’s configure the Action step with Gala Box in Pabbly Connect. Select Gala Box as the application and choose the action event as ‘Send Template Text Message’. Click on Connect to establish a connection with your Gala Box account.

You will need to provide your Account ID, API Key, and API Secret from Gala Box. Log into your Gala Box account, navigate to the account details, and copy the Account ID. For the API Key and Secret, create a new key with the necessary permissions.

Go to the API settings in Gala Box to create a new API key. Ensure the key has permissions for managing messages and templates. Copy the API Key and Secret and paste them into Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you can map the fields from the Elementor form to the WhatsApp message template you created in Gala Box. This mapping allows for personalized messages to be sent automatically.

5. Testing the Integration

After setting up the integration, it’s time to test it. Fill out the Elementor form with dummy lead information and submit it. Check Pabbly Connect to see if the form submission data is captured correctly.

If successful, you should see a message ID and status confirming that the WhatsApp message was sent. Check the recipient’s WhatsApp to verify that the message was received with the correct lead details.

Submit the form with different lead information to test multiple scenarios. Ensure the messages are personalized based on the lead’s details. Monitor the response in Pabbly Connect for any errors or issues.

With successful tests, your automation is now set up. Whenever a new form is submitted in Elementor, a WhatsApp message will be sent automatically to the lead, showcasing the power of Pabbly Connect.
