3. Sending Brochure to Leads via WhatsApp
Once the lead data is captured, the next step is to send the brochure to the lead’s WhatsApp account using Pabbly Connect. This requires integration with 360 Dialog, which provides access to WhatsApp’s chat API.
In your workflow, select 360 Dialog as the action app and choose the ‘Send Template Message’ option. You will need to connect your 360 Dialog account by providing your API key and domain name, which can be generated in your 360 Dialog account settings.

- Map the lead’s WhatsApp number to send the message directly.
After mapping the necessary fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the message is sent successfully via WhatsApp.
4. Verifying Message Delivery on WhatsApp
After sending the brochure, it’s crucial to verify that the message has been delivered successfully to the lead’s WhatsApp account. This step ensures that your integration using Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.
Check the WhatsApp account of the lead to confirm that the message appears as intended, including the attached brochure link. If the message is received with the correct details, your workflow is set up properly. You can monitor the response time, which may take a few minutes due to the polling technique used by Facebook.
Additionally, make sure that all templates used for sending messages are approved by WhatsApp to avoid any issues with message delivery. Once confirmed, your automation is complete, and you can start receiving leads effectively.
