1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send automated WhatsApp messages using Pabbly Connect, first access the platform by visiting the Pabbly website. If you do not have an account, you can sign up for free in just two minutes. Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard to start creating your workflow.

In the dashboard, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the workflow section where you can create and manage your integrations. Here, you will set up the connection between Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp messaging through Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A pop-up will appear where you can name your workflow. For this integration, name it something descriptive like ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Message to Sports Equipment Leads’. Choose a folder to save your workflow, then click ‘Create’.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select a folder for saving.

Once your workflow is created, you will see two boxes labeled Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, and the Action is what happens as a result. For this integration, the Trigger will be set to Facebook Lead Ads, and the Action will be set to send a WhatsApp message via Wati.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In the Trigger section of Pabbly Connect, select Facebook Lead Ads as your application. Then, choose the event ‘New Lead Instant’ as your trigger event. After this, you will need to connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’.

Once connected, you will be prompted to select your Facebook page and the lead generation form you want to use. For example, if your page is named ‘Sports GearHub’, select it from the dropdown. Then, choose the lead form you created, typically named ‘New Lead Form’. Make sure this form is active before testing.

• Select Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the event.
• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.

After saving the settings, you will need to generate a sample submission from your lead form to test the connection. This can be done using the Facebook Developer Tools. Once you have submitted a sample lead, you will see the lead details appear in Pabbly Connect, confirming that your trigger is set up correctly.

4. Configuring the Action to Send WhatsApp Messages

Next, in the Action section of Pabbly Connect, select Wati as your application. The action event will be ‘Send Template Message’. You will then need to connect your Wati account by entering the API endpoint and access token, which can be found in your Wati API documentation.

Once connected, you will need to fill in the details to send the WhatsApp message. Start by mapping the WhatsApp number from the lead data received from Facebook. This ensures that each new lead receives their message directly. Then, select the template you created in Wati for your message.

Select Wati as the action application. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Map the WhatsApp number from lead data.

Finally, set up the custom parameters for your message. This involves defining the message content and any variables such as the lead’s name. Once all details are filled, click ‘Save and Continue’ to finalize the setup. You should receive a confirmation that the message has been sent successfully.

5. Testing the Integration for Success

After configuring both the Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the entire workflow. You can do this by filling out the lead form on Facebook with dummy data to simulate a real lead. Once the form is submitted, check your WhatsApp to see if the automated message is received.

If the message arrives as expected, your integration is working perfectly! You can also view the logs in Pabbly Connect to track the message status and ensure everything is functioning smoothly. This step confirms that your automated WhatsApp messaging is set up correctly and is ready to engage your leads.

Fill out the lead form to test the integration. Check WhatsApp for the automated message. Review logs in Pabbly Connect for confirmation.

With successful testing, you can confidently rely on this setup to automatically send WhatsApp messages to your sports equipment business leads, enhancing your customer engagement and response time.
