In this step, you will set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and search for ‘Google Sheets’.

Return to your Pabbly Connect workflow, and you will see that the response has been captured. This response will include details such as the lead’s first name, last name, phone number, and email address, confirming that the integration between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect is working correctly.

• You can find these details in the WhatsApp Cloud API documentation.
• Map the phone number from the previous step to send messages dynamically.

After entering all required information, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should receive a confirmation that the automated WhatsApp message has been sent successfully. Now, you can open your WhatsApp to see the message received.
