After signing in, you will see the Pabbly dashboard. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under the Pabbly Connect application. This will direct you to the main dashboard where you can create your automation workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate email responses. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow and select a folder for organization.

• Name your workflow: ‘Automatically Send Emails to Facebook Leads Based on Response’.
• Select a folder, for example, ‘Facebook Lead Ads Automations’.

After naming your workflow and selecting the folder, click on the ‘Create’ button. This will set up your workflow, and you will see options for setting up triggers and actions within Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

The next step involves setting up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’ to capture new leads generated through Facebook.

Once selected, click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect. Ensure you are logged into your Facebook account in a separate tab to allow for a smooth connection process. After establishing the connection, select your Facebook page and the lead generation form you created.

4. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, it’s essential to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Generate a test lead using the Meta Lead Ads Testing Tool. Select your Facebook page and lead form, then submit a test lead with specific details.

• Select skin type (e.g., oily, dry, combination).
• Fill in the lead’s first name, last name, email, and phone number.

Once the test lead is submitted, check your workflow in Pabbly Connect to confirm that it captured the lead’s response correctly. This step ensures that your integration is functioning as intended before moving on to the next steps.

5. Setting Up Action to Send Emails via Gmail

Now that the trigger is set, the next step involves setting up the action in Pabbly Connect to send emails through Gmail. Choose ‘Gmail’ as your action application and select the action event ‘Send Email’. This allows you to configure how the emails will be sent based on the lead’s response.

Connect your Gmail account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button and authorizing the connection. Next, you will need to map the recipient’s email address from the previous step, ensuring that the email is sent to the correct lead. Fill in the email subject and content, personalizing it based on the skin type selected by the lead.

After configuring the email settings, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to verify that the email is sent successfully. Check your Gmail account to confirm receipt of the email, ensuring that the integration works seamlessly as intended.
