1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin the integration process, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect website, which takes just a couple of minutes.

Once you have created your account, log into the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, you can call it ‘Facebook Lead Ads to Google Sheets to WhatsApp’. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow setup.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger, which will activate the automation. In this case, you will connect your Facebook Lead Ads account to Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ and select it.

• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead’.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’.
• Log in to your Facebook account to connect it with Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, select the page you are using for your lead ads and choose the lead generation form you want to use. After selecting these options, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Pabbly Connect will now wait for a response from Facebook Lead Ads, which you can test by generating a lead using the Meta Lead Ads Testing Tool.

3. Adding Leads to Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing a lead from Facebook, the next step is to add this lead information to Google Sheets. In the action step, search for ‘Google Sheets’ and select it. Then, choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’. using Pabbly Connect

• Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Google Sheets account.
• Select the spreadsheet where you want to add the leads.
• Map the fields from Facebook Lead Ads to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will add the new lead details to your selected Google Sheets spreadsheet, confirming that this step is successful.

4. Inserting Lead Data into MySQL Database

The next step is to insert the captured lead data into your MySQL database. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Action Step’ button and search for ‘MySQL’. Select it and choose the action event as ‘Insert Row’. using Pabbly Connect

Connect your MySQL account by entering the required details such as database username, password, host, and port. After connecting, select the table where you want to insert the lead details. Just like with Google Sheets, you will need to map the fields from the Facebook Lead Ads response to the corresponding columns in your MySQL table.

Once you have mapped all the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will see a positive response indicating that the lead data has been added to your MySQL database.

5. Sending WhatsApp Messages to New Leads

The final step in this automation is to send a WhatsApp message to the new lead using AI Sensi. In the action step, search for ‘AI Sensi’ and select it. Choose the event as ‘Send Template Message’. using Pabbly Connect

Connect your AI Sensi account by entering the API key. Select the campaign name you created for sending WhatsApp messages. Map the mobile number and any template parameters in the message.

Once all the necessary fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should receive a confirmation that the WhatsApp message has been sent successfully to the new lead, completing the automation process.
