1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send WhatsApp messages to Facebook leads, we will access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in or signing up if you’re a new user. Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where all Pabbly applications are available.

Next, locate the option to access Pabbly Connect and click on it. This will open your workflow area where you can create new integrations. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Leads

In this step, we will set up the trigger using Facebook Leads. Select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’ to ensure that the workflow activates immediately upon receiving a new lead.

  • Select your Facebook account and connect it to Pabbly Connect.
  • Choose the Facebook page associated with your sports club.
  • Select the specific lead form you wish to use.

After configuring these settings, save and send a test request to ensure that Pabbly Connect is correctly capturing the lead data. You will see a confirmation that the lead has been captured, indicating that the trigger is working successfully.

3. Setting Up the Action to Send WhatsApp Messages

Now that we have our trigger set, we will set up the action to send WhatsApp messages. Choose WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event will be ‘Send Template Message’ which allows you to send predefined messages to leads.

Next, connect your WhatsApp Cloud API account by entering the required credentials such as the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. Once connected, you can select the message template you want to use for the WhatsApp messages.

  • Map the phone number from the lead data to the WhatsApp message.
  • Customize the message template to include dynamic fields like the lead’s name.

After setting everything up, save your action and send a test request to verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully. Check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message has been received.

4. Testing the Integration for Successful Automation

Testing is crucial to ensure that the integration works as intended. To do this, we will generate a dummy lead using the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool. Make sure to delete any previous leads and refresh the page before creating a new test lead.

Fill in the dummy details in the lead form and submit it. After submitting, Pabbly Connect should capture this new lead automatically. You can check the workflow to see if the lead data has been recorded successfully.

Once the lead data is captured, Pabbly Connect will trigger the WhatsApp message to be sent to the new lead. Verify this by checking your WhatsApp for the received message. This confirms that the automation is functioning as expected.
