1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To send WhatsApp messages on Contact Form 7 submission, we need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website where you can log in or sign up for a free account.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. From here, you can create workflows that automate tasks between different applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button to proceed to the automation interface.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To automate the sending of WhatsApp messages, we first need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name the workflow as ‘Send WhatsApp Message on Contact Form Submission using AiSensy’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘WhatsApp Automations’.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize the workflow setup.

Your workflow is now created, and you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger will initiate the workflow when a new form submission occurs.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Contact Form 7

In this step, we will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to capture new submissions from Contact Form 7. Select ‘Contact Form 7’ as the trigger application.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Form Submission’. Pabbly Connect will generate a unique webhook URL that you will use to connect your Contact Form 7 plugin.

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the Contact Form 7 form you want to integrate.
• In the form settings, look for the ‘Webhook’ option and paste the copied URL.

After saving the form, your Contact Form 7 is now connected to Pabbly Connect and will send data to it upon submission.

4. Configuring Action to Send WhatsApp Messages

With the trigger set, the next step is to configure the action in Pabbly Connect to send WhatsApp messages using AiSensy. Choose ‘WhatsApp by AiSensy’ as the action application.

Select the action event as ‘Send Template Message’. You will need to connect your AiSensy account by providing the API key from your AiSensy account settings.

Enter the campaign name and select the template created in AiSensy. Map the mobile number and customer name from the previous step to personalize the message. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the integration.

Upon successful testing, you will receive a confirmation that the WhatsApp message has been sent, indicating that your automation is working correctly.

5. Testing the Integration

Now that your workflow is set up, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out the Contact Form 7 on your website with dummy data and submit it.

Once submitted, check your WhatsApp to see if you received the message. If everything is configured correctly, you should receive a thank-you message from your store, confirming the inquiry.

This process demonstrates how Pabbly Connect seamlessly integrates with Contact Form 7 and AiSensy to automate customer communication.
