1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Facebook Lead Ads

Pabbly Connect is an essential tool for automating WhatsApp messaging for Facebook Lead Ads. This integration allows businesses to send WhatsApp messages to leads automatically when they fill out a form on Facebook. By using Pabbly Connect, you can streamline your lead nurturing process efficiently.

To get started, you need to create a free account on Pabbly Connect. This process is quick and easy, allowing you to set up your automation workflow in a matter of minutes. Once logged in, you can begin integrating your Facebook Lead Ads with WhatsApp messaging using AiSensy.

2. Setting Up Your Pabbly Connect Workflow

To set up your workflow in Pabbly Connect, first navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow.’ Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Facebook Leads to WhatsApp.’ This will help you identify the automation later on.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow interface.
• You will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window.
• Start with the trigger window by selecting Facebook Lead Ads as your app.

Once you choose Facebook Lead Ads, select the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant.’ After connecting your Facebook account, select the Facebook page where your ads are running. This page should be the one generating leads through your Facebook Lead Ads.

3. Capturing Lead Details from Facebook

After setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, you will need to specify the lead form from which you want to capture new leads. You can either choose a specific lead form or select ‘All Lead Gen Forms’ to capture leads from any form associated with your page.

Once you have selected the appropriate form, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ This action will prompt Pabbly Connect to wait for a webhook response, indicating that it is ready to capture lead details. You can generate a test lead using Facebook’s lead testing tool to see if everything is working correctly.

• Generate a test lead by entering required details like first name, last name, email, phone number, and city.
• Submit the form to capture the lead in Pabbly Connect.
• Check the Pabbly Connect workflow for the captured lead details.

Once the test lead is generated, you will see the lead details reflected in the Pabbly Connect workflow, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using AiSensy

Next, you will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect to send WhatsApp messages using AiSensy. For this, search for AiSensy in the action window and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message’ and click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your AiSensy account.

You will need to enter your AiSensy API key to complete the connection. Once connected, create a WhatsApp template message that will be sent to the leads. This template can include dynamic parameters like the lead’s first name.

Name your campaign appropriately, such as ‘Message to New Lead.’ Select the template you created for WhatsApp messages. Map the mobile number of the lead from the trigger step into the WhatsApp message action.

After setting up the campaign and mapping the necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ This will send a WhatsApp message to the lead’s number, confirming that the setup is successful.

5. Getting Notifications on Your Own Number

Finally, you will set up another action in Pabbly Connect to receive WhatsApp notifications on your own number whenever a new lead is generated. This step is similar to sending messages to leads but requires creating a new campaign specifically for notifications.

Search for AiSensy again and select the same action event ‘Send Template Message.’ Use a different campaign name, such as ‘New Lead Received,’ and map the relevant fields to include lead details like name, email, phone number, and city.

Ensure you enter your WhatsApp number for receiving notifications. Map all the necessary parameters from the trigger step to the action step. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the notification setup.

After completing these steps, you will receive a WhatsApp message containing all the details of the new lead, confirming that your automation is functioning correctly.
