To send instant WhatsApp messages to new leads, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by searching for Pabbly Connect in your browser, which will direct you to its homepage. Here, you have two options: either sign in if you’re an existing user or click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create a new account.

If you are a new user, signing up allows you to explore the software with 100 free tasks per month. Existing users can simply sign in. After signing in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create your automation workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are on the Pabbly Connect dashboard, you need to create a workflow that will facilitate sending WhatsApp messages. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin. A dialog box will appear asking you to name your workflow. Name it something relevant, like ‘Send Instant WhatsApp Messages to New Leads’.

Next, you’ll see an option to choose a folder for your workflow. Select the folder named ‘Automations’ or create a new one as per your requirements. After naming your workflow and selecting a folder, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

• Select the ‘Google Ads’ application as your trigger.
• Choose the event ‘New Lead’ for the trigger.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Ads account with Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the trigger, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL is essential for connecting your Google Ads to Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL for the next steps in the integration process.

3. Setting Up Google Ads for Lead Generation

Now that you have your webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, log into your Google Ads account. Here, you will set up a lead form that will send data to the webhook URL. Create a new campaign and add a lead form to collect the necessary information from potential leads.

Within the lead form settings, look for the option to set up lead delivery via webhook. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field. This step is crucial as it enables Google Ads to send lead data directly to Pabbly Connect.

• Ensure that the lead form captures necessary details like name, email, and phone number.
• Preview your form to ensure everything is set up correctly.
• Test the lead form to confirm that data is being sent to Pabbly Connect.

After testing, you should see the data being received in your Pabbly Connect workflow, indicating that the integration is functioning correctly.

4. Integrating WhatsApp with Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will integrate WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Pabbly Chatflow’ as your action application. This is where you will configure the WhatsApp messages that will be sent to your leads.

Once you select Pabbly Chatflow, choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message’. You will then be prompted to connect your Chatflow account. If you have already connected it, select the existing connection; otherwise, create a new one by entering your API token from Chatflow.

Enter the recipient’s mobile number, which should be dynamically mapped from the previous Google Ads step. Select the WhatsApp template you wish to use for the message. Map any required fields, such as the lead’s name, to personalize the message.

After completing the setup, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that everything is functioning correctly. You should receive a test WhatsApp message sent to the specified number.

5. Finalizing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

After successfully sending a test message, your automation is almost complete. Review all the steps in your Pabbly Connect workflow to ensure everything is configured correctly. Make any necessary adjustments to the mapping or settings as needed.

Once you are satisfied with your workflow, click on ‘Save’ to finalize your automation. From now on, every time a new lead is generated through your Google Ads, an instant WhatsApp message will be sent automatically via Pabbly Connect.
