To send WhatsApp messages to Facebook leads for your handloom business, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in or signing up for a free account if you are a new user. This platform allows you to automate processes between different applications seamlessly.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will see various Pabbly tools. Click on Pabbly Connect to begin the integration process, as it is the central hub for connecting Facebook and WhatsApp for your automation needs.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, which prompts you to name your workflow and choose a folder for saving it. For this integration, you can name it ‘Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp for Handloom Business’ and select the appropriate folder.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow window.
• This window will allow you to set up the trigger and action for your automation.

In this workflow, the trigger will be set to Facebook Lead Ads. Select the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’ to ensure that leads are captured immediately when they are submitted. This setup is crucial for timely communication with your leads.

3. Connect Facebook Lead Ads to Pabbly Connect

To connect Facebook Lead Ads with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Connect’ after selecting the trigger event. You will be prompted to either add a new connection or select an existing one. Choose to add a new connection and authenticate your Facebook account.

After successful authentication, select your Facebook page, which in this case is ‘Crafted with Care,’ and choose the specific lead form you want to use. Once selected, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the connection works and to capture a test lead.

4. Set Up WhatsApp Message Action

Once the Facebook Lead Ads trigger is set, the next step is to configure the action. In this case, select the application as WhatsApp Cloud API and choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message.’ This is where Pabbly Connect facilitates the sending of WhatsApp messages based on the captured leads.

Connect your WhatsApp Cloud API account by entering the required details such as the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

• Select the message template you wish to use for sending messages.
• Map the recipient’s mobile number and body field to personalize the message.

This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to insert the lead’s name dynamically into the WhatsApp message, enhancing engagement.

5. Test the Integration and Verify

After setting up the WhatsApp message action, it’s time to test the entire workflow. Go back to your Facebook Lead Ads testing tool and submit a new lead with dummy details. This will trigger the automation set up in Pabbly Connect.

Once the test lead is submitted, check your WhatsApp to verify that the message has been received. If the message status shows as accepted, the integration is successful. You can repeat this process for additional leads to ensure everything is working correctly.

To summarize, the integration between Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp via Pabbly Connect allows for automated communication with your leads, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to engage with potential customers.
