1. Access Pabbly Connect for Integration

To set up SMS notifications for new Google Ads leads, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and type the URL Pabbly.com/connect. You will arrive at the Pabbly Connect landing page where you can either sign in or sign up for a free account.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ option. This process is quick and grants you 100 free tasks upon account creation. For existing users, simply click on ‘Sign in’ to access your dashboard. Once logged in, you can create a new workflow to start the integration process.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the right side. Click on it, and a dialog box will appear asking you to name your workflow. Name it something relevant, like ‘Google Ads to Twilio SMS Integration’.

Once you have named your workflow, click on ‘Create’. You will then see two significant sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger will be set to Google Ads, and the Action will be set to Twilio, which is the platform used to send SMS notifications.

3. Set Up Google Ads as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the Trigger section of Pabbly Connect, select Google Ads as your application. The Trigger Event will be ‘New Lead Form Entry’. This means that every time a new lead is created through a Google Ads lead form, the workflow will trigger an SMS notification.

After selecting the Trigger Event, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Ads and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL as you will need to paste it into your Google Ads account to finalize the connection.

• Log into your Google Ads account.
• Navigate to Ads & Assets and select Lead Forms.
• Create a new lead form or edit an existing one, and paste the webhook URL in the integration options.

After pasting the URL, provide a key (any random key will work) and send test data from Google Ads. This step is crucial for capturing the lead details in Pabbly Connect.

4. Configure Twilio Action in Pabbly Connect

Now, add an Action step in your workflow and select Twilio as the application. The Action Event will be ‘Send SMS Message’. Click on ‘Connect’ to initiate the connection between Pabbly Connect and your Twilio account.

To set up this connection, you will need your Twilio Account SID and Authorization Token. These can be found in your Twilio account dashboard. Copy and paste these credentials into Pabbly Connect to establish the link.

• Write the body of the SMS, including details of the new lead.
• Map the necessary fields such as name, email, and phone number from the previous step.
• Set the sender’s number from Twilio and the recipient’s number, ensuring to include the country code.

Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send a test SMS to confirm that your setup works correctly.

5. Test and Finalize Your Integration

After sending the test SMS, check if the message was received successfully. This confirms that the integration between Google Ads, Twilio, and Pabbly Connect is working as intended. You should see a message indicating the details of the new lead.

If the test is successful, your workflow is now fully operational. Any new leads generated through Google Ads will automatically trigger an SMS notification to your team via Twilio. This seamless integration enhances communication and ensures that your team is always updated with new leads.
