  • Confirm the creation of the workflow.

After naming and selecting your folder, click on ‘Create’. The workflow is now set up and ready for the next steps in Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Trigger for LinkedIn

The next step is to set up the trigger in your Pabbly Connect workflow. This will be the event that initiates the automation. Choose LinkedIn as your trigger application.

Select the trigger event as “Lead Notification”. Then, connect your LinkedIn account by entering your credentials. You’ll need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your LinkedIn data.

Now, it’s time to set up the action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application. The goal is to send a WhatsApp message when a new lead is captured from LinkedIn.

Choose the action event “Send Text Message”. If you have an existing connection, select it; otherwise, create a new connection by entering the required WhatsApp API details such as the token and phone number ID.

  • Access your Meta for Developers account to generate the required access token.
  • Enter the recipient’s mobile number without the plus sign.
  • Map the phone number received from LinkedIn into the WhatsApp message.

This setup ensures that every time a new lead is captured, they will receive a personalized WhatsApp message, automating your lead follow-up process.

5. Testing the Entire Workflow

To finalize your integration, test the entire workflow you created in Pabbly Connect. Submit a test lead through your LinkedIn lead form to see if the automation works as expected.

Check your WhatsApp to confirm that you received the personalized message. If successful, this indicates that your integration between LinkedIn and WhatsApp is correctly configured.

  • Ensure that the message format is correct and includes the mapped name and details.
  • If you encounter issues, revisit the setup steps in Pabbly Connect.
