To start automating WhatsApp messages for leads captured from Instagram, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website and log in to your account. If you are new, you can sign up for a free account, which gives you access to 100 tasks per month.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can see all your workflows. To create a new workflow for sending WhatsApp messages, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Choose the new beta workflow builder for a faster experience and name your workflow appropriately.

2. Setting Up Instagram Lead Ads as the Trigger

In this step, we will set up Instagram Lead Ads as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This means that whenever you receive a new lead from Instagram, it will trigger the workflow to send a WhatsApp message. Click on the trigger application box and select ‘Instagram Lead Ads’ as your trigger app.

  • Select the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’.
  • Connect your Instagram account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and following the prompts.
  • Choose the Facebook page associated with your Instagram account.

After connecting, you will need to select the lead form you are using. This can be done through the Meta for Developers tool to ensure you are capturing the right leads. Once selected, save the trigger settings to proceed with the workflow.

3. Capturing Lead Details from Instagram

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to capture the lead details using Pabbly Connect. You will need to perform a test submission to ensure the connection works correctly. Use the lead testing tool to enter dummy details such as name, email, and phone number.

Once the form submission is done, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow. You should see the captured response in the workflow. This confirms that the integration is working properly and you can now proceed to set up the action step for sending WhatsApp messages.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Chatflow

Now that you have captured the lead details, it’s time to set up the action application to send WhatsApp messages using Pabbly Connect. In the action application box, select ‘Pabbly Chatflow’ and choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message’.

  • Connect your Pabbly Chatflow account by entering the API token.
  • Map the recipient’s mobile number from the captured lead details.
  • Enter the template name you created for WhatsApp messages.

Make sure to map the details properly so that each new lead receives a personalized message. Once all the details are filled in, save the action step and send a test request to verify that the message is sent successfully.
