1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate WhatsApp messaging for your welding business, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp, ensuring that new leads receive your business brochure automatically.

Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free. Once logged in, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner. Name your workflow as ‘Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp’ and click ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring Facebook Lead Ads in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose Facebook Lead Ads from the list of applications and set the trigger event to ‘New Lead Instant’. This ensures that every new lead generated will initiate an automated WhatsApp message.

• Select your Facebook page from the available options.
• Choose the relevant lead form for your welding business.
• Save and send a test request to ensure the connection works.

Once you have completed these steps, Pabbly Connect will wait for a webhook response, confirming that the integration is working properly.

3. Testing the Integration with Dummy Leads

To ensure everything is set up correctly, you need to generate a dummy lead on your Facebook page. Fill out the lead form with sample information, such as name, email, and contact number, and submit it. This action will trigger the automation process in Pabbly Connect.

After submitting the dummy lead, return to Pabbly Connect. You should see the lead’s information, including the full name, email address, and contact number. This confirms that the Facebook Lead Ads are successfully integrated with Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up WhatsApp Cloud API in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up the WhatsApp Cloud API as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select WhatsApp Cloud API and choose the action event ‘Send Template Message’. This will allow you to send a pre-defined message template to the new lead.

Connect to the WhatsApp Cloud API by entering the required keys, including the temporary access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These keys are available on the WhatsApp developers page. After entering the keys, select the template you created for sending brochures and map the recipient’s mobile number.

5. Finalizing the Message Template and Sending the Brochure

In this final step, you will finalize the message template that will be sent via WhatsApp. Map the recipient’s mobile number to ensure it is formatted correctly without the plus sign. Attach the link to your brochure document and fill in the message body with personalized fields, such as the lead’s name and your business name.

Once all fields are filled, save and send a test request. Check the WhatsApp account of the lead to confirm that they received the message along with the brochure. This step verifies that the entire automation process using Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.
