This creates a link for your workflow. Understanding triggers and actions is crucial: a trigger is the event that initiates the workflow, while actions are the responses to that trigger. With Pabbly Connect, you can set multiple actions for a single trigger.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

To connect Facebook Lead Ads with Pabbly Connect, click on “Connect with Facebook Lead Ads”. Grant access to your account, ensuring your data is secure. Select your Facebook page and the lead generation form you wish to use.

For demonstration, we will use the “Digital Dynamics” page. After selecting the page, you will choose the specific lead form. If you want to capture leads from a specific form, select that form. Otherwise, choose “All Lead Forms”.

  • Update the response format to simple.
  • Click “Save and Send Test Request”.

After clicking save, you will need to generate a test lead using the Facebook lead ads testing tool. This step is essential to ensure that Pabbly Connect receives the correct data.

Once the trigger is set, the next step is to send a WhatsApp message via Pabbly Chatflow. To do this, you will need to connect Pabbly Chatflow in your workflow. Click on “Connect to Pabbly Chatflow” and input your API token.

To find your API token, go to the settings in Pabbly Chatflow, select “API and Webhooks”, and copy the token. Paste it into the required field in Pabbly Connect. After saving, you will be connected.

  • Map the phone number from the lead details.
  • Compose your WhatsApp message, personalizing it with the lead’s name.
