Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Sending Automated WhatsApp Reminders for Webinars’. Choose an appropriate folder to save this workflow and click ‘Create’. This initiates the workflow setup in Pabbly Connect.

2. Configuring the Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger application and select ‘Webinar Kit’ as the source of the trigger. Then, choose ‘New Webinar Registration’ as the trigger event. This means that every time a new registration occurs, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select ‘Webinar Kit’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Webinar Registration’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Now, paste this webhook URL into the Webinar Kit’s integration settings to connect it with Pabbly Connect. This allows Pabbly to capture registration data whenever a new attendee registers for the webinar.

3. Adding Delays for Sending Reminders

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to add delays for sending reminders. In Pabbly Connect, add an action step and select ‘Delay by Pabbly’. Set the delay to send a reminder one day before the webinar and another hour before it starts.

• Choose ‘Add Delay Time’ as the action event.
• Specify the delay duration (1 day and 1 hour).
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the delay settings.

This configuration ensures that reminders are sent at the correct times, enhancing participant engagement for the webinar.

4. Sending WhatsApp Reminders Using Pabbly Connect

After the delay is set, the next step is to send WhatsApp reminders. Select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. This will allow you to send the reminder messages to the registrants.

Enter the required details like the token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These details can be obtained from your WhatsApp Cloud API setup. After entering the information, select the message template you created for the reminders.
