To connect Facebook Lead Ads with WhatsApp, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to automate the process seamlessly. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account or create a new one if you don’t have it yet.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will then need to name your workflow, such as ‘Connect Facebook Lead Ads with WhatsApp’. Select the appropriate folder for your automation and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that you’ve created your workflow in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up the trigger and action. The trigger will be the event that starts the automation. In this case, select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application.

• Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with Facebook.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
• Select the Facebook page and the lead form you want to connect.

After selecting your lead form, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the lead data from your Facebook Lead Ads, setting the stage for sending WhatsApp messages.

3. Integrating WhatsApp to Send Messages

With the lead data captured, the next step is to set up WhatsApp messaging using the AI Sensei application through Pabbly Connect. Select AI Sensei as your action application for sending messages. Click on ‘Connect’ and add a new connection using your API key from AI Sensei.

Once connected, you will need to fill in the required fields for sending a WhatsApp message. Map the phone number and name fields from the lead data captured earlier. This ensures that each new lead receives a personalized message.

• Enter the campaign name, which can be something like ‘Send Brochure on WhatsApp’.
• Fill in the message template parameters with mapped lead data.
• Add the link to your brochure for the leads to download.

After filling in all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the WhatsApp message is sent successfully. You should see a confirmation response indicating that the message has been dispatched.

4. Testing the Integration

To ensure everything is working correctly, you need to perform a test submission through your Facebook Lead Ads. Use the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool to simulate a new lead submission. This will trigger the automation set up in Pabbly Connect.

Once you submit the test lead, check your WhatsApp to see if the automated message has arrived. The message should include the lead’s name, email, phone number, and the link to the brochure. This confirms that the integration is functioning as intended.

5. Finalizing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

After successful testing, your automation is now ready to go live. You can sit back and relax, knowing that Pabbly Connect will handle all future leads automatically. Whenever a new lead is generated through your Facebook Lead Ads, they will receive a WhatsApp message without any manual intervention.

This automation not only saves time but also enhances customer engagement by providing immediate responses. You can further customize the message templates in AI Sensei to suit your business needs.
