To send automated WhatsApp messages for your food processing business, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing into your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 free tasks every month.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard displaying various applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow for automating your WhatsApp messages.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect is essential for setting up your automation. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. Name it something relevant, like ‘Tasty Eats Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Choose an existing folder or create a new one.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating your workflow, you will see two sections: one for triggers and one for actions. The trigger indicates when your automation will start, while the action specifies what will happen next.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

The next step in Pabbly Connect is to set up your trigger application, which will be Facebook Lead Ads. Click on the arrow to choose your trigger application and select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’. You will then need to select the trigger event, which should be set to ‘New Lead’.

After selecting the trigger event, click on ‘Connect’ to authorize Pabbly Connect with your Facebook account. A new window will appear, prompting you to add a new connection. After connecting, select your Facebook page (e.g., ‘Tasty Eats’) and the lead generation form you’ve created.

4. Configuring the Action to Send WhatsApp Messages

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. Click on the arrow to select your action application, which will be the WhatsApp Cloud API. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as your action event. This action will automatically send a WhatsApp message whenever a new lead is generated.

Click on ‘Connect’ to set up the WhatsApp Cloud API. You will need to enter the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These details can be obtained from your WhatsApp API setup.

• Select the template name you created in WhatsApp Cloud API.
• Map the recipient’s mobile number from the trigger data.
• Fill in the body field with the message template.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test’ to check if your setup is working correctly. You should see a confirmation that the message was accepted.

5. Testing the Integration of Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp

To ensure everything is functioning properly, you should test the integration between Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect. Submit a test lead through the lead ads testing tool, ensuring you fill in all necessary details like full name, email, and phone number.

Once the test lead is submitted, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard to see if the response has been captured. If successful, you will receive a WhatsApp message at the number you provided, confirming the automation setup.

This final step verifies that every new lead generated from Facebook ads will receive an automated WhatsApp message, streamlining your communication process for your food processing business.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate WhatsApp messages for your food processing business based on leads generated from Facebook ads. This integration enhances customer engagement and streamlines communication effortlessly.
