To connect Google Ads with Pabbly Connect, you will need to set up a webhook URL provided by Pabbly. Copy this URL and log into your Google Ads account to integrate it with your lead form.

In your Google Ads account, select the lead form you wish to use. Under the “Lead Delivery” section, paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. For the key, use a simple identifier like “test” to facilitate the integration.

Once you’ve entered the required information, save the configuration. You will then be prompted to define the SMS body that will be sent to your leads. Personalize the message to include the lead’s name by mapping the data from the previous step.

  • Add your Twilio phone number as the sender.
