To start using Pabbly Connect, first, access your Pabbly Connect account. This platform allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. Here, we will set up the integration for capturing WhatsApp leads.
Begin by creating a new workflow. You will need to select the trigger application as WhatsApp Cloud API. For the trigger event, choose “New Message Received”. This setup will ensure that every incoming message on WhatsApp triggers the automation process.
2. Creating a Connection with WhatsApp Cloud API
After selecting WhatsApp Cloud API, you will need to create a connection. Click on the connect button to generate a webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to receive messages from your WhatsApp account.
- Copy the generated webhook URL.
- Open the Meta for Developers page.
- Paste the webhook URL in the callback URL section.
After pasting the URL, add the verify token provided by Pabbly Connect. This step is essential for successful integration. Once done, save the settings to establish the connection.
3. Storing WhatsApp Leads in Google Sheets
With the WhatsApp connection established, the next step is to store incoming leads in Google Sheets. For this, select Google Sheets as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event “Add New Row” to ensure that each lead is recorded in a new row.
Upon selecting Google Sheets, you will need to connect your Google account. Click on the connect button and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets. Select the specific spreadsheet and sheet where you want to store the leads.
- Map the fields such as Name, Phone Number, and Message from WhatsApp.
- Ensure the source is marked as WhatsApp.
After mapping the fields, click on “Save and Send Test Request” to verify that the data is correctly added to your Google Sheet. This step confirms that Pabbly Connect is functioning as expected.
4. Sending Instant Replies on WhatsApp
The final step in this automation process is to send an instant reply to the customer on WhatsApp. For this, select WhatsApp Cloud API again as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event “Send Text Message” to automate the response.
Just like before, create a new connection for WhatsApp Cloud API. You will need to input the token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These details can be retrieved from the Meta for Developers page.
- Map the recipient’s mobile number from the incoming WhatsApp message.
- Compose a message to acknowledge the lead.
After setting up the message, click on “Save and Send Request”. You should receive the message instantly on WhatsApp, confirming that your automation is working perfectly with Pabbly Connect.
