1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration
To start integrating WhatsApp with Pabbly and Facebook, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Open a web browser and go to pabbly.com. Here, you can sign up for a free account, which gives you access to 100 free tasks every month.
Once logged in, you can create a new workflow. This workflow will automate the process of sending instant follow-up messages through WhatsApp whenever a new lead is generated via Facebook ads. Pabbly Connect is essential for capturing this data and sending the automated messages.
2. Creating a Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads
To capture new leads from Facebook, you will set up a trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select the option for Facebook Lead Ads and choose the trigger event as “New Lead.” This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor your Facebook account for any new leads generated.
- Click on “Add New Connection” and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
- Select the Facebook page that you are using for your lead ads.
- Choose the specific lead form you want to track.
After selecting these options, click on “Save and Send Test Request.” This will help you verify that Pabbly Connect is correctly capturing lead data from Facebook. Once a test lead is generated, you will see the details captured in your Pabbly Connect dashboard.
3. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect
Now that you have set up the trigger, the next step is to send a WhatsApp message using Pabbly Connect. For this, you can use Pabbly Chatflow as your messaging application. Add an action step to your workflow and select “Send Text Message” from the Pabbly Chatflow options.
You will need to create a new connection by providing your API token from Pabbly Chatflow. To get this token, log into your Pabbly Chatflow account and navigate to the settings section. Here, generate your API token and paste it into the Pabbly Connect field.
4. Mapping Data for WhatsApp Messages
In this step, you will map the data from the Facebook lead to the WhatsApp message. Start by entering the WhatsApp number field in Pabbly Connect. You will use the mapping feature to pull the WhatsApp number from the captured lead data.
- Add a slash (/) in the WhatsApp number field to see the previous step’s data.
- Select the WhatsApp number from the lead data to map it correctly.
- Compose your message, including the lead’s name for personalization.
After mapping the necessary fields and composing your message, click on “Save and Send Test Request” to verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully. You should see a success status indicating that the message has been sent to the lead’s WhatsApp number.
Conclusion
By using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate the process of sending WhatsApp messages to new leads generated through Facebook ads. This setup ensures timely follow-ups, helping you convert leads into customers effectively.
