1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating SMS notifications and Google Chat alerts for LinkedIn leads, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply visit the Pabbly website and either sign in or create a new account.

Upon logging in, navigate to the dashboard where you will see various Pabbly applications. Click on ‘Access Now’ for Pabbly Connect to start creating your workflow.


2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow and select a folder to save it in. For this tutorial, name it ‘Send SMS to LinkedIn Leads and Notify Team on Google Chat’.

  • Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
  • This opens the workflow window where you can set up the trigger and action.

In this window, you will define the trigger application as LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms. Select ‘New Lead Gen Form Response’ as the trigger event to initiate the workflow when a new lead is submitted.


3. Setting Up the Trigger with LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms

After selecting LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms as your trigger application, click on the ‘Connect’ button. If you have not previously connected your LinkedIn account, you will need to add a new connection.

  • Choose the lead form you want to connect to.
  • Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the latest response from LinkedIn.

Remember, LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms operate on a polling basis, meaning they check for new data every 10 minutes. This setup ensures that every new lead captured in LinkedIn triggers the subsequent actions in Pabbly Connect.


4. Sending SMS Notifications via Pabbly Connect

For the SMS notification, the action application will be Twilio. Select Twilio and choose ‘Send SMS Message’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Twilio account to Pabbly Connect.

Input your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token to establish the connection. Compose your SMS message, personalizing it by mapping the lead’s name from the trigger step.

After setting up the SMS content, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send a test SMS to the lead’s phone number, ensuring the integration works smoothly through Pabbly Connect.


5. Notifying Google Chat with New Leads

Next, add another action step to notify your team on Google Chat. Select Google Chat as the action application and choose ‘Create Message’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect by providing the Google Chat webhook URL.

Follow the steps to create a webhook in Google Chat. Map the lead’s details in the message format you desire.

Once your message is composed, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send a notification to your Google Chat, confirming that the integration is functional via Pabbly Connect.
