2. Configuring Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect. Your trigger application will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the trigger event will be set to ‘New Lead Instant’. This means that every time a new lead is generated through Facebook, your automation will activate.

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

After connecting, select the Facebook page and the lead generation form associated with your print media business. Save and send a test request to confirm that the connection is working correctly.

3. Testing the Integration with Facebook Lead Ads

Once you have set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to test the integration. You will use the Meta for Developers tool to create a test lead, ensuring that your setup captures the lead information correctly.

• Navigate to the Meta for Developers tool.
• Select your Facebook page and the lead form you created.
• Fill out the test lead form and submit it.

After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to verify that the test lead data has been captured successfully. This includes details like the email, full name, and phone number of the lead.

4. Sending Automated WhatsApp Messages

Now that the test lead has been captured, the next step is to send an automated WhatsApp message using Pabbly Connect. For this, you will use the WATI application to send the WhatsApp message. Select WATI as your action application and set the action event to ‘Send Template Message’.

To establish the connection, you will need to enter the API endpoint and access token from your WATI account. Once connected, map the phone number from the test lead to ensure the message is sent to the correct recipient.

5. Finalizing Your Pabbly Connect Workflow

In the final step, finalize your Pabbly Connect workflow by selecting the message template you created in WATI. This template should include a personalized greeting for your leads. Make sure to map the lead’s name to the message body for a personalized touch.

After setting everything up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the automated WhatsApp message is sent successfully. You should see the message in your WhatsApp, confirming that the integration works as intended.
