2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, creating a workflow is essential to automate the message sending process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. Give your workflow a descriptive name, such as ‘Coalfield Minds Facebook Leads to WhatsApp Messages’.

• Select the folder for your workflow.
• Define your trigger and action; the trigger is Facebook Lead Ads, and the action is WhatsApp Cloud API.

Once you have named your workflow and selected the folder, you can proceed to set up the trigger. This is crucial as it determines when the WhatsApp message will be sent.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

For the trigger, select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Lead Instant’. This means that every time a new lead is generated, Pabbly Connect will capture that lead instantly.

To connect your Facebook account, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. If your Facebook account is already linked, select the existing connection. Choose the Facebook page you are using for your ads and the lead form you created. Once done, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is successful.

4. Action Setup with WhatsApp Cloud API

After successfully setting up the trigger, it’s time to define the action. Choose ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ as your action application in Pabbly Connect, and select ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ to link your WhatsApp Cloud API account.

To establish this connection, you need to input the token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID from your Meta for Developers account. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’. You will also need to select the message template you created earlier to customize your WhatsApp message.

5. Mapping Data and Testing Automation

In this step, you will map the data from the Facebook lead to the WhatsApp message. In Pabbly Connect, you can map the recipient’s mobile number and the message body to include personalized details from the lead.

• Enter the recipient’s mobile number using the mapped data from the lead.
• Map the full name variable in the message body to personalize the message.

Once all data is mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will receive a WhatsApp message confirming the setup. To ensure everything works, test the automation by submitting a new lead through the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool.
