Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To send automated WhatsApp messages on Elementor form submission, we first need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website and signing in. If you are a new user, you can sign up for a free account, which offers limited monthly automation tasks.

Once logged in, select the option to create a new workflow. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Automated WhatsApp Message on Elementor Form Submission’, and choose the appropriate folder for organization. This setup is crucial as it establishes the foundation for your automation process.

Setting Up the Trigger with Elementor

Next, we will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. For this integration, select Elementor as your trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Form Submission’, which will activate the workflow whenever a user submits a form on your Elementor-built website.

Upon selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used in your Elementor form settings. This step is essential for linking the form submissions directly to your Pabbly Connect workflow.

• Select Elementor as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Form Submission’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for later use.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to integrate it into your Elementor form. This integration ensures that every form submission is captured by Pabbly Connect, allowing for automated responses.

Integrating the Elementor Form with Pabbly Connect

Now, navigate to your WordPress dashboard and open the Elementor form you wish to integrate. In the form settings, locate the ‘Actions After Submit’ section. Here, you will add a new action by selecting ‘Webhook’ from the available options.

Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field for the webhook action. Once this is done, click on the update button to save your changes. This step is critical as it connects your Elementor form to the Pabbly Connect workflow, enabling the automation of WhatsApp messages upon form submission.

• Open the Elementor form settings.
• Add ‘Webhook’ to the Actions After Submit.
• Paste the copied webhook URL and update the form.

With the webhook successfully integrated, your Elementor form is now capable of triggering workflows in Pabbly Connect, setting the stage for sending automated WhatsApp messages.

Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

After setting up the Elementor form, the next step involves configuring the action to send WhatsApp messages through Pabbly Connect. For this, select an action application, which in this case will be AI Sensei, and choose the action event ‘Send Template Message’. This allows you to send pre-defined messages to leads who submit your form.

When prompted, connect your AI Sensei account by entering the required API key. You can obtain this key from your AI Sensei account under the API management section. After connecting, you will need to specify the campaign name and the template you want to use for the WhatsApp message.

Select AI Sensei as the action application. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Connect using your API key from AI Sensei.

Once the connection is established, map the necessary fields such as the lead’s mobile number and name to personalize the message. This mapping ensures that each WhatsApp message is tailored to the specific lead who submitted the form, enhancing engagement and responsiveness.

Testing and Finalizing Your Workflow

Now that the WhatsApp message action is configured, it’s time to test your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Elementor form and perform a test submission. Fill in the form fields with dummy data and submit it to trigger the workflow.

After submission, check your Pabbly Connect dashboard to see if the webhook response has been captured. You should see all the details from the form submission. If everything is set up correctly, an automated WhatsApp message will be sent to the lead’s number after the form submission.

Perform a test submission on your Elementor form. Check Pabbly Connect for the captured response. Confirm that the automated WhatsApp message has been sent.

Once you confirm the message has been sent successfully, your workflow is complete. From now on, every new form submission will automatically trigger a WhatsApp message, streamlining your communication with potential clients.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to send automated WhatsApp messages on Elementor form submission enhances your client engagement. By following these steps, you can easily set up a seamless communication channel with potential leads, ensuring timely responses and better service.
