To integrate Facebook Lead Ads with Google Sheets and WhatsApp, you need to access Pabbly Connect. First, visit the Pabbly Connect homepage and either sign in or sign up for a free account. Once you are logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create new workflows.

After signing in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner. Name your workflow appropriately; for example, you can use ‘Facebook Lead Ads to Google Sheets and WhatsApp’. This naming helps you organize your automations effectively within Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up Facebook Lead Ads as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Lead Ads from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This means that every time a new lead is generated from your Facebook ad, Pabbly Connect will capture that lead’s details.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Facebook account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
• Choose the Facebook page and lead form associated with your ads.

Once you have configured these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will prompt Pabbly Connect to wait for a webhook response, indicating that it is ready to receive data from Facebook Lead Ads.

3. Adding Leads to Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next action is to add the captured lead details to Google Sheets. In this step, select Google Sheets as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Add a New Row’ so that every new lead will be added as a new row in your specified Google Sheets document.

• Connect to your Google Sheets account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets.
• Select the specific spreadsheet and sheet where you want to add the lead details.

Map the fields from the Facebook lead form to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. This ensures that the right information is captured in the correct format, making it easy to manage your leads within Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

Once the lead details are successfully added to Google Sheets, the final step involves sending a WhatsApp message to the new lead. For this, select WhatsApp as your next action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message’. This allows you to send a customized message to your lead instantly.

Connect to your WhatsApp account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’. Input the API endpoint and access token from your WhatsApp account. Select the template message you want to send to the lead.

Map the lead’s phone number and any other relevant details to personalize the message. After filling in these details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test message. This confirms that the entire workflow is functioning correctly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To ensure that everything is functioning correctly, it’s important to test your integration workflow. Create a test lead through your Facebook lead ad and check if the lead details appear in your Google Sheets. Also, verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully.

To do this, submit a test lead form with dummy data. After submission, check your Google Sheets for the new entry and your WhatsApp for the message. This step is crucial to confirm that Pabbly Connect is effectively linking all applications as intended.

If both the Google Sheets entry and the WhatsApp message are received correctly, your integration is successfully set up. This automated process not only saves time but also ensures that you can engage with leads promptly and efficiently using Pabbly Connect.
