Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow specifically for your Facebook leads to WhatsApp integration. This is essential for automating the messaging process when new leads are generated.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to connect Facebook Lead Ads with the WhatsApp Cloud API using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this example, name it ‘Send WhatsApp Messages to Facebook Leads for Online Meditation Classes’.

• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will need to set up the trigger and action events. The trigger will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the action will be sending a WhatsApp message via the WhatsApp Cloud API. This integration will ensure that every time a new lead is generated, a WhatsApp message is automatically sent.

3. Configuring Facebook Lead Ads as the Trigger

To set Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger in Pabbly Connect, select the ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ option and then choose the trigger event ‘New Lead Instant’. This event will activate the workflow when a new lead is submitted through your lead form.

Next, you will need to connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize the connection. After successful connection, select the Facebook page associated with your lead ads and the specific lead gen form you created.

4. Testing the Trigger for Successful Integration

After configuring the trigger, it’s crucial to test it to ensure everything is set up correctly. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will prompt you to perform a test submission of your lead form to generate sample data.

• Navigate to the Meta for Developers page and access the Lead Ads Testing Tool.
• Select your Facebook page and lead form to create a test lead.

Upon successful submission of the test lead, return to Pabbly Connect to confirm that the lead data has been received. This step verifies that your trigger setup is functioning correctly, ready to send messages via WhatsApp.

5. Configuring WhatsApp Cloud API as the Action

Now that your trigger is set, the next step is to configure the WhatsApp Cloud API as the action in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ and choose the action event ‘Send Template Message’. This is where you will specify the message template to be sent to new leads.

Connect your WhatsApp Cloud API account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and entering your API credentials, including the temporary access token and phone number ID. After connection, select the message template you created for new leads and map the recipient’s mobile number from the lead data.

Finally, test the action by clicking on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will receive a WhatsApp message confirming the integration. This completes the setup, ensuring that every new lead from Facebook receives a personalized message via WhatsApp.
