1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Integration

To start sending bulk WhatsApp messages with images, first access Pabbly Connect. Open a new tab and go to pably.com/chatflow. This will direct you to the Pabbly Chatflow landing page.

Once on the page, you will see an option to “Sign Up for Free” in the top right corner. Click this button to create an account and gain access to your free trial, allowing you to send up to 100 messages through Pabbly Chatflow.

2. Setting Up Your WhatsApp Number in Pabbly Connect

After signing up, log in to your Pabbly Connect account and open the dashboard. The next step is to add your WhatsApp number by clicking the “Add WhatsApp Number” button. This is crucial for sending messages.

To ensure successful integration, follow these steps:

  • Click on the “Add WhatsApp Number” button.
  • Follow the prompts to enter your WhatsApp number.
  • Confirm the addition to your account.

Once your number is added, navigate to the “Broadcast” section on the left sidebar and click “Add Broadcast” to start creating your message campaign.

3. Creating a Broadcast Campaign in Pabbly Connect

In the “Add Broadcast” section, select “Broadcast Campaign” as the type. You will then need to name your broadcast campaign. For example, you can name it “New Offers” to indicate the purpose of your message.

Next, you will choose your audience. You can either select an existing contact list or upload a CSV file. If you choose to upload a CSV file, ensure it contains the necessary contact details.

  • Select an existing contact list or upload a new CSV file.
  • If using a CSV, ensure it is formatted correctly.

After selecting your audience, you can refine it by excluding certain contacts, if necessary. This step is optional but can help target your messages more effectively.

4. Composing Your Message with an Image in Pabbly Connect

Now, it’s time to compose your message. Pabbly Connect will prompt you to select the message type. You can choose a pre-approved template or a regular message. If you opt for a regular message, simply type your message in the provided field.

To include an image, you will need to upload it from the media library. Here’s how to do that:

  • Click on “Upload from Media Library”.
  • Choose “Add a New Image” and select the file from your computer.

Once the image is uploaded, select it from your media library to insert it into your message. Make sure to format any text you want to bold by surrounding it with asterisks (*).

5. Sending a Test Message via Pabbly Connect

Before sending your bulk message, it’s a good idea to send a test message. For this, enter a contact name and phone number to ensure everything is working correctly. Click on the “Send as Message” button to initiate the test.

If the test is successful, you will see a confirmation message indicating that the broadcast was sent successfully. Now, you have two options for sending the actual broadcast:

  • Schedule the message for later by selecting the date and time.
  • Send it instantly by choosing “No, Send Instantly”.

Additionally, you can enable the “Automatically Retry for Failed Contacts” option to ensure that any failed messages are retried without needing to recreate the broadcast. After confirming your settings, click on the “Create Broadcast” button to finalize.
