1. Access Pabbly Connect to Start Automation

To begin automating the process of sending welcome videos to new contest participants, first, access Pabbly Connect. Open a web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account. Existing users can click on ‘Sign In’ to access their accounts.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can see various applications available for integration. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation. This is where you will build the workflow that connects all necessary applications.

2. Create a Workflow for Contest Participation

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Mega Fest Contest Welcome Video Automation’. After naming, select a folder to keep your workflow organized and click ‘Create’.

• Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button.
• Select your trigger application (e.g., Landing Page).
• Choose the event (e.g., New Lead).

This setup will ensure that every time a new participant registers, the automation is triggered, allowing you to send a welcome video seamlessly.

3. Integrate Landing Page with Pabbly Connect

After setting your trigger, you will need to integrate your landing page where participants will sign up. Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and paste it into the integration settings of your landing page. This step is crucial as it allows data from the landing page to flow into Pabbly Connect when a new participant signs up.

Ensure that the request method is set to POST and save the settings. Once the landing page is published, you can test the integration by filling out the form. Upon submission, the details should appear in your Pabbly Connect account, confirming that the integration works correctly.

4. Send Welcome Video via WhatsApp

Next, you will set up the action to send a welcome video message via WhatsApp. In your workflow, click on the ‘+’ button to add a new action step. Select Pabbly Chatflow as the action application and choose the event ‘Send Text Message’. This allows you to send a personalized message along with the video link.

• Map the recipient’s WhatsApp number using data from the trigger.
• Compose your welcome message, including a link to your YouTube video.
• Test the action to ensure it sends correctly.

This step completes the initial setup for sending welcome videos, making your communication with participants efficient and engaging.

5. Log Participant Data into Google Sheets

Finally, to keep track of your contest participants, you need to log their information into Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Sheets as the application. Choose the event ‘Add New Row’ to log participant details automatically.

Connect your Google Sheets account by selecting the appropriate spreadsheet and sheet. Map the participant details like name, email, and phone number to the corresponding columns. This ensures that every new lead captured from your landing page is stored for future reference and follow-ups.

After completing the mapping, test this action step to confirm that new rows are added correctly to your Google Sheets. This integration helps you manage participants effectively and follow up as necessary.
