2. Creating a WhatsApp Chatbot Flow Using Pabbly Chartflow

Next, use Pabbly Chartflow to create a WhatsApp chatbot. This intuitive drag-and-drop builder allows you to design chat flows without any coding. Click on the “+ Add Flow” button to initiate a new flow.

  • Select the trigger event (e.g., keywords).
  • Set up a welcome message that the bot will send when the trigger is activated.

After setting up the welcome message, you can add a question node to collect user details, such as their first and last name. This personalized interaction is crucial for effective lead generation.


3. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To store user data collected from the WhatsApp chatbot, integrate Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This process involves creating an API request node, which allows data to flow seamlessly into your Google Sheets.

Here are the steps to set up this integration:

  • Select Google Sheets as your action application.
  • Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
  • Paste the webhook URL in the API request node and set it to POST.

By doing this, every time a user interacts with your WhatsApp bot, their information is automatically saved in Google Sheets, ensuring no data is lost.


4. Mapping User Data in Pabbly Connect

Mapping user data is a critical step in the integration process with Pabbly Connect. This ensures that the correct information is sent to the appropriate fields in Google Sheets. You will need to specify which data corresponds to each column in your sheet.

Follow these steps for effective mapping:

  • Access the mapping section after setting up the API request.
  • Select all contact custom fields that you want to map.
  • Test the mapping to ensure data is captured accurately.

This dynamic mapping will allow you to capture different user data every time someone interacts with your bot, enhancing your lead generation efforts.
