1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Messaging

Pabbly Connect is a powerful automation tool that facilitates the integration of various applications, including Paperform and WhatsApp. In this tutorial, we will learn how to send and receive WhatsApp messages automatically whenever a form submission occurs in Paperform.

Using Pabbly Connect, you can streamline communication with your registrants and ensure instant notifications for yourself. This integration is particularly useful for businesses hosting webinars or events, allowing for timely engagement with potential attendees.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect

To start using Pabbly Connect, visit the Pabbly Connect homepage and sign in or create a free account. Existing users can simply log in, while new users can take advantage of the free tasks offered monthly.

  • Sign in to your Pabbly Connect account.
  • Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the dashboard.
  • Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Send and Get WhatsApp Message on Paperform Submission’.

After naming your workflow, you will be prompted to set up a trigger. Select Paperform as your trigger application, which will allow you to capture new form submissions effectively.

3. Creating the Paperform Integration

Once you have set up your workflow in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create an integration with Paperform. Choose ‘New Form Submission’ as your trigger event. This ensures that every time someone submits a form, the workflow is activated.

After selecting the trigger event, you will be provided with a webhook URL. Copy this URL and navigate to your Paperform account. Here’s how to integrate:

  • Edit the form you want to connect.
  • Go to ‘After Submission’ settings and select ‘Integrations’.
  • Add the copied webhook URL and set the trigger on ‘New Submission’.

After setting this up, your Paperform will now trigger the Pabbly Connect workflow every time a new submission is made.

4. Setting Up WhatsApp Integration

With the Paperform integration complete, the next step is to connect WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect. Select WhatsApp by AiSensy as your action application. This connection allows you to send messages to your registrants automatically.

Choose the action event as ‘Test Send Template Message’. To connect, you will need your API key from your WhatsApp by AiSensy account. Follow these steps:

Log in to your WhatsApp by AiSensy account. Navigate to ‘Manage’ and select ‘API Key’. Copy the API key and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

After entering the API key, you can set the campaign name and map the mobile number and other required fields to complete the setup. This ensures that the relevant details from the form submission are included in the message.

5. Testing the Integration

After configuring both Paperform and WhatsApp within Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure everything works seamlessly. Perform a test submission on your Paperform to trigger the workflow.

Check your WhatsApp to confirm that you receive the intended messages. You should see a confirmation message sent to the registrant and another notification sent to yourself, detailing the registration information. This step is crucial for verifying that your setup is functioning correctly.

Once you confirm that both messages are received, your integration is complete! You can now automate your communication process for future form submissions.
