2. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads
The first step in your integration is to set up a trigger using Facebook Lead Ads. In Pabbly Connect, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application and choose the event “New Lead Instant”. This ensures that the integration captures leads as soon as they are generated.
- Select the Facebook account associated with your business.
- Choose the Facebook page linked to your lead generation.
- Select the lead generation form you created for capturing leads.
After setting up the trigger, click on the “Save and Send Test Request” button to test the connection. This action allows Pabbly Connect to verify if it can successfully capture leads from Facebook Lead Ads.
3. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Chatflow
Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to send a WhatsApp message to the newly generated lead. For this, you will use Pabbly Chatflow. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add an action step and select Pabbly Chatflow as the application.
- Choose the event “Send Template Message”.
- Connect your Pabbly Chatflow account by entering the API key.
- Map the phone number and name fields from the Facebook lead response to personalize the message.
By mapping these fields, Pabbly Connect ensures that each WhatsApp message is tailored to the individual lead, enhancing engagement and communication efficiency.
4. Finalizing the Integration and Testing
After configuring the WhatsApp message, it’s important to finalize the integration. Review all the mapped fields and ensure that the message template includes the necessary information, such as a thank you note and a link to your Telegram group.
To test the entire setup, generate a new lead using the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool. This will allow you to see if the WhatsApp message is sent successfully. Upon generating the lead, Pabbly Connect should automatically trigger the WhatsApp message, confirming that the integration works seamlessly.
