• Select a folder for better organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

With your workflow created, you will need to set up the trigger and action for your automation. The trigger will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the action will be the WhatsApp Cloud API, enabling you to send messages automatically when a new lead is generated.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, you will configure the trigger in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application and choose ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event. This ensures that every time a new lead is generated, Pabbly Connect will capture the response.

To connect your Facebook Lead Ads with Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button. If you haven’t connected your Facebook account yet, choose ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize your account. After successful authorization, select the appropriate Facebook page and lead form from which you want to capture leads.

Next, you will set up the action in your workflow. Choose WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and select ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to input the necessary details such as the token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. using Pabbly Connect

To retrieve these details, you will need to set up your WhatsApp Cloud API account via Meta for Developers. Once you have your token and IDs, paste them into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’. Afterward, select the desired message template that you have created for your WhatsApp messages.

• Ensure your template includes variables for personalization.
• Map the phone number and other details from the Facebook lead response.

Finally, test your setup by clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will see a message status indicating that the WhatsApp message was accepted, confirming that your integration works as intended.

5. Testing and Finalizing Your Automation

To ensure that your workflow is functioning correctly, you will need to perform a test submission of a new lead. Return to the Meta for Developers platform and use the Lead Ads Testing Tool to submit a new lead. After submitting, check your WhatsApp to confirm receipt of the message.

If you see the WhatsApp message, it means your automation is successfully set up. You can now delete the previous test lead and submit a new one to see if the automation triggers again. This process verifies that every new lead generated through Facebook will receive a WhatsApp message automatically via Pabbly Connect.
