1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Your Paint Store

To start automating WhatsApp messages for your paint store, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the landing page at Pabbly.com/connect. This platform is essential for connecting your Facebook leads with WhatsApp Marketing Automation.

Once on the Pabbly Connect page, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create your account. Existing users should click on ‘Sign In’ to access their dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This initiates the process of setting up your automation for sending WhatsApp messages to Facebook leads.

• Name your workflow (e.g., WhatsApp Marketing Automation for Your Paint Store).
• Select a folder to save the workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will enter the workflow window where you will set up the trigger and action. The trigger will be your Facebook lead ads, which will initiate the workflow every time a new lead is generated.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In the workflow window of Pabbly Connect, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application. This selection will allow the workflow to respond to new leads automatically.

For the trigger event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’ and click on ‘Connect’. If this is your first time, you’ll need to add a new connection by selecting your Facebook account. After connecting, select your Facebook page and lead form.

• Select your Facebook page (e.g., Color Splash Paints).
• Choose the lead form (e.g., Lead Ads Form).
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the lead response.

Once you have set this up, you will need to create a test lead to verify the connection with Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing the lead response, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to set up the action application, which will be WhatsApp Cloud API. This will enable you to send automated WhatsApp messages to your leads.

Select WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Connect your WhatsApp account by adding your API setup details, including the temporary access token and phone number ID.

Paste the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. Select the message template you created (e.g., Marketing Lead Ads). Map the recipient’s mobile number and other dynamic fields.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a WhatsApp message to verify that everything is working correctly.

5. Testing Your WhatsApp Marketing Automation Workflow

To ensure your setup is functioning, it’s crucial to test the workflow you created in Pabbly Connect. Refresh the lead testing tool and create a new lead with different details to check if the WhatsApp message is sent correctly.

Once you submit the new lead, open your WhatsApp to see if the automated message appears. The message should reflect the details you set up in the template, including the name of the lead dynamically changing based on the input.

Submit a new lead through the testing tool. Check WhatsApp for the received message. Verify that the message content is accurate and personalized.

If everything is set up correctly, you will see the WhatsApp message received in your chat, confirming the workflow is successful.

This tutorial has guided you through the process of using Pabbly Connect to automate WhatsApp messages for your paint store from Facebook leads. By following these steps, you can enhance your lead conversion rates effectively.
