2. Creating a Carousel Message Template in AI Sensei

Next, you need to create a message template in AI Sensei. This template will define the carousel message format you want to send via WhatsApp. Navigate to the ‘Manage’ section in AI Sensei and select ‘Template Messages’. Click on the ‘New’ button to create your template. using Pabbly Connect

  • Choose a language for your template, such as English.
  • Select the template type as Carousel.
  • Add images, captions, and buttons for each card in the carousel.

After creating the template, make sure to save it. This template will be used in the Pabbly Connect workflow to send messages through WhatsApp.

3. Connecting AI Sensei with Pabbly Connect

Once your template is ready, return to Pabbly Connect to connect your AI Sensei account. In the action step of your workflow, search for ‘AI WhatsApp by AI Sensei’ and select the action event ‘Send Carousel Message’.

To connect your AI Sensei account with Pabbly Connect, you will need to enter your API key. You can find this in the ‘Manage’ section of AI Sensei under ‘API Key’. Copy the API key and paste it into the appropriate field in Pabbly Connect.

4. Preparing JSON Body for the Carousel Message

After connecting your accounts, you need to prepare the JSON body for the carousel message. This body contains all the necessary details for the message, including the API key, campaign name, destination mobile number, and card details.

  • Copy the JSON body from the test campaign section in AI Sensei.
  • Remove the API key from the JSON body and replace it with the placeholder ‘API uncore key’.
  • Map the mobile number and other parameters from the trigger response in Pabbly Connect.

Ensure that all card details, including image URLs, are correctly entered in the JSON body. This step is crucial for the carousel message to display properly on WhatsApp.

With your JSON body prepared, it’s time to send the carousel message. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to initiate the message sending process. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a positive response indicating that the message has been sent.

Check the designated WhatsApp account to confirm receipt of the carousel message. You should see the message formatted as per the template you created in AI Sensei, complete with images and buttons. Remember, you can only send two consecutive messages without a user response.
