After selecting your trigger, click the “Connect” button to establish a connection with Facebook Lead Ads. You will need to add a new connection if you don’t have an existing one.

3. Configuring Facebook Lead Ads in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect your Facebook account. Click on “Connect with Facebook Lead Ads” and authorize the connection. Once connected, select the appropriate Facebook page and lead generation form.

For response format, choose “Simple”. Then click on “Save and Send Test Request”. This action will start waiting for a webhook response from Facebook.

  • Open the Meta for Developers page and navigate to the “Lead Ads Debug Tool”.
  • Select your page and form, then click on “Create Lead” to generate a test lead.

Once a test lead is created, check back in Pabbly Connect to ensure the new response has been received, confirming your trigger is functioning correctly.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

Next, set up the action application to send WhatsApp messages. Choose Pabbly Chatflow as your action application. Select the event “Send Text Message” and click on “Connect”.

To connect, you will need an API token from your Pabbly Chatflow account. Go to the settings in Pabbly Chatflow, locate the API section, and copy your token. Paste it into the required field in Pabbly Connect.
