You will now see options for setting up a trigger and an action. The trigger application will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the action application will be WhatsApp Cloud API.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, you will configure the trigger using Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This event activates when a new lead is submitted through your lead gen form.

Now, connect your Facebook Lead Ads account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’, select your Facebook account, and grant the necessary permissions. After connecting, select your Facebook page and the specific lead form that you have set up.

  • Ensure your lead ads form is live to receive lead data correctly.

  • Make sure to generate a sample submission in your lead form.

After clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’, you should see a waiting message for a webhook response. This indicates that your setup is correctly configured to receive data from Facebook Lead Ads.

4. Configuring the Action with WhatsApp Cloud API

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action using Pabbly Connect. Choose WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and select the action event as ‘Send Template Message’. This allows you to send a predefined message to your leads.

Next, you need to connect your WhatsApp Cloud API account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and fill in the required details such as Token, Phone Number ID, and WhatsApp Business Account ID. These details can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API account settings.

Copy the temporary access token from your WhatsApp Cloud API account. Enter the Phone Number ID and Business Account ID. Click ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

After successfully connecting, select your WhatsApp message template and map the recipient’s mobile number from the lead data received from Facebook.

5. Sending WhatsApp Messages to Leads

With everything configured, you can now send WhatsApp messages to your leads. In Pabbly Connect, ensure that you have mapped the recipient’s mobile number correctly, including the country code without the plus sign.

Fill in the message body with your template content and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should receive a confirmation message indicating that your WhatsApp message has been accepted for delivery.

Check your WhatsApp account to confirm receipt of the message. Verify that the message body matches the template you created. Ensure the dynamic variables in the message are replaced with lead-specific information.

This process confirms that you have successfully integrated Facebook Lead Ads with WhatsApp Cloud API using Pabbly Connect.
