To send WhatsApp messages to new Facebook Lead Ads leads, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect landing page.

Here, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free. If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create your account in just a couple of minutes. Existing users can simply sign in to access their dashboard.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged in, you will reach the ‘All Apps’ page. Click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to proceed. On the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

• Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp’.
• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow editor.

In the workflow editor, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window is where you will set up the event that starts the automation, while the action window defines what happens next.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for New Leads

In the trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’ and click on ‘Connect’. using Pabbly Connect

To connect your Facebook Lead Ads account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log in to your Facebook account. Once connected, select the appropriate Facebook page from the dropdown where your lead ads are running.

• Choose the lead generation form you want to capture leads from.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the connection is successful.

After saving the test request, Pabbly Connect will wait for a new lead from Facebook Lead Ads. You can generate a test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool to verify the setup.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

To send WhatsApp messages, scroll down to the action step. Search for ‘WaBots’ and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Custom API Request’ and click on ‘Connect’. using Pabbly Connect

In this step, you need to connect your WaBots account by entering the API key. Before that, ensure your WhatsApp Cloud API is linked with WaBots by providing the necessary credentials.

Copy the WhatsApp Business Account ID and Access Token from your WhatsApp Cloud API setup. Paste these details into WaBots to establish the connection.

Once connected, you will need to create a message template in your WaBots account for the WhatsApp message you wish to send. Make sure to get this template approved before proceeding.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

After setting up the action step, it’s time to test the entire automation. Go back to the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool and create a new test lead.

Once you submit the test lead, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture this lead and trigger the WhatsApp message to be sent using WaBots. You can check the WhatsApp account for the message confirmation.

Ensure the phone number used in the lead matches the WhatsApp number. Verify that the message sent is the same as your approved template.

This confirms that the integration is successful, and now every time a new lead is generated, a WhatsApp message will be sent automatically using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate sending WhatsApp messages to new leads generated from Facebook Lead Ads. This integration streamlines communication and enhances lead nurturing.
