After signing in, you will land on the applications page. Select Pabbly Connect to access the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin the integration process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once in Pabbly Connect, you need to name your workflow. This workflow will automate sending WhatsApp messages every time a new lead is captured through Facebook Lead Ads. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

In this step, you will set a trigger and an action. The trigger application will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the action application will be the service that sends WhatsApp messages. Select the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’ to trigger the workflow whenever a new lead is submitted.

• Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the trigger, you will be prompted to select the Facebook page and lead generation form associated with it. This step is crucial for accurately capturing leads.

3. Testing Lead Collection from Facebook

Now that your trigger is set, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out your lead generation form on Facebook to generate a new lead. Ensure you provide all required information, such as email, full name, and phone number.

After submitting the form, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will fetch the API response, allowing you to see if the lead data has been captured correctly.

• Fill out the lead generation form with test data.
• Submit the form to generate a lead.
• Check for the API response in Pabbly Connect.

Once the data is captured, you will see the email, full name, and phone number displayed in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the trigger is working correctly.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages through Pabbly Connect

With the lead data now available, the next step is to configure the action to send a WhatsApp message. Select the action application as ‘Interact’ and choose the event ‘Send WhatsApp Template Message’. This action will facilitate sending customized messages to the new leads.

To connect with Interact, you will need a secret key from your Interact account. Once you have logged into Interact, copy the secret key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Select ‘Interact’ as the action application. Choose ‘Send WhatsApp Template Message’ as the action event. Input the required fields including phone number and message template.

Map the phone number and other variables from the lead data collected earlier. Once everything is configured, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the WhatsApp message to the new lead.

5. Confirmation of Successful Integration

After sending the test request, check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message has been received. You should see a customized message addressed to the lead, confirming that the integration was successful.

To verify, you can fill out the lead generation form again with a different set of test data. Repeat the process to ensure that each new lead receives a WhatsApp message automatically, demonstrating the effectiveness of Pabbly Connect in automating this workflow.

Check WhatsApp for the received message after submitting the lead form. Repeat the lead submission to test multiple entries. Ensure the messages are sent correctly and promptly.

This confirms that your integration is complete, and you can now successfully send WhatsApp messages to new Facebook leads using Pabbly Connect.
