After setting up the trigger, Pabbly Connect will wait for a response from Facebook Lead Ads whenever a new lead is generated. This setup ensures that your automation is ready to capture leads effectively.

3. Setting Up Facebook Leads Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to configure the Facebook Leads trigger in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize your Facebook account. Select your Facebook page and the specific lead form you wish to capture leads from.

Once you have selected the lead form, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will prompt Pabbly Connect to wait for a webhook response, indicating that it is ready to receive data from Facebook.

• Navigate to the Meta for Developers page.
• Use the Leads Testing Tool to submit a test lead.
• Ensure that the test lead data is sent successfully.

After submitting the test lead, return to Pabbly Connect to confirm that the lead data has been captured, including email, full name, and phone number. This verification step is crucial for ensuring your automation is working correctly.

4. Configuring WhatsApp Cloud API Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect to send a WhatsApp message. Select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ as your action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event.

To connect your WhatsApp Cloud API, click on ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to provide the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. Make sure you have these details ready from your WhatsApp API setup.

Copy and paste the access token, phone number ID, and business account ID into Pabbly Connect. Select your message template from the WhatsApp Cloud API setup. Map the recipient’s mobile number and any variables needed for the message.

After filling in the necessary details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If everything is set correctly, you will see a message status indicating acceptance, confirming that the WhatsApp message has been successfully sent.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

To ensure that your automation works correctly, you need to test the integration. Go back to the Leads Testing Tool and delete the previous test lead. Refresh the window to prepare for a new submission.

Submit a new test lead using the preview form, ensuring you enter your actual phone number. After submission, check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message has been received. This final step verifies that Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

With the automation set up, you can now send WhatsApp messages to new leads generated from your Facebook ads. This integration not only saves time but also enhances communication with potential clients for your trading coaching classes.
