Choose ‘Send Template’ as the action event. You will need to connect AdsEra with Pabbly Connect. To do this, click on ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to enter your API token from your AdsEra account.

Log into your AdsEra account and navigate to your profile settings to find your API key. Copy the API key and paste it into the token field in Pabbly Connect.

After saving the connection, you can now map the WhatsApp number from your Elementor form submission response to the respective field in AdsEra.

With everything set up, it’s time to send a WhatsApp message automatically. In Pabbly Connect, select the template you created in AdsEra for WhatsApp messages. Map the necessary fields such as the recipient’s name and WhatsApp number using the data retrieved from the Elementor form submission.

Click on ‘Send Test’ to verify that the message is sent. You should see a confirmation message indicating that the message was sent successfully. To ensure it worked, check your AdsEra account under the chats section to view the message sent to the potential customer.
