Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start sending WhatsApp messages to new Facebook Lead Ads leads, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform will facilitate the integration between Facebook Lead Ads and WhatsApp. Begin by opening your browser and navigating to the Pabbly Connect landing page.

Once there, you will find options to sign in or sign up. If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in. After signing in, you will be directed to the ‘All Apps’ page, where you can click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect.

Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will need to create an automation workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give your workflow a name, such as ‘Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp’. You can choose a folder in your Pabbly account for this workflow and then click on ‘Create’.

In the automation workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window will be used to connect Facebook Lead Ads, while the action window will handle WhatsApp messaging through WaBots. This setup allows you to automate the process effectively.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp’).
• Select a folder for the workflow.

After creating the workflow, you will be ready to set up the trigger for Facebook Lead Ads.

Setting Up the Facebook Lead Ads Trigger

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, you need to select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the app in the trigger window. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’ and click on ‘Connect’. You will then need to add a new connection to link your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect.

After clicking on ‘Connect with Facebook Lead Ads’, you will be prompted to select the Facebook page where you are running your lead ads. Choose the appropriate page, such as ‘Color Splash Paints’, and select the lead generation form you want to use. Once you have made your selections, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection.

• Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the app.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Lead Instant’.
• Connect your Facebook account and select the page.

After saving the request, Pabbly Connect will wait for a response from Facebook Lead Ads, confirming that the integration is successful.

Sending WhatsApp Messages Using WaBots

With the trigger set up, the next step is to send WhatsApp messages to the new leads using WaBots through Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for ‘WaBots’ and select it. For the action event, choose ‘Custom API Request’ and click on ‘Connect’ to add a new connection.

You will need to enter the API key for your WaBots account. Before doing this, ensure that you have connected your WhatsApp Cloud API account with WaBots. This is crucial for sending messages. After entering the API key, configure the API request by mapping the phone number field to the number received from Facebook Lead Ads.

Select ‘WaBots’ as the app in the action window. Choose the action event ‘Custom API Request’. Map the phone number to the lead’s number from Facebook.

After configuring the API request, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully.

Testing the Automation Workflow

To ensure that your automation workflow is functioning correctly, you can test it by generating a new lead using the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool. After creating a test lead, check your WhatsApp account to confirm that the message has been received. This will validate that Pabbly Connect is successfully sending messages to new leads.

Once you confirm that the message is sent, you can refine your workflow by ensuring that the lead’s phone number is dynamically mapped in the message sending step. This makes sure that every new lead receives the correct WhatsApp message automatically.

After testing, you can delete the previous lead and generate another test lead to see if the workflow continues to function as intended. This is a crucial step to ensure everything is working smoothly.
