1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin using Pabbly Connect, open your web browser and navigate to pabbly.com/connect. If you are a new user, click on the “Sign Up for Free” button located in the top right corner. This allows you to create automations with up to 100 free tasks monthly, giving you a chance to explore the capabilities of Pabbly Connect.

For existing users, simply log into your account to access the workflow builder. This is where you will create your automation. If you decide to continue using Pabbly Connect after the trial, you can apply the discount coupon code RIT TYT for a subscription plan.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Ads

In the workflow builder of Pabbly Connect, the first step is to add a trigger. Click on the “Add Trigger” button and search for Google Ads. The objective is to collect lead details, so select the event as “New Lead” from the Google Ads application.

  • Select Google Ads as the trigger application.
  • Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
  • Navigate to your Google Ads campaign and paste the Webhook URL into the lead form delivery options.

After adding the Webhook URL, click on “Send Test Data” to ensure the connection is successful. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the response, including details like company name, phone number, and email.

3. Capturing Lead Details in Pabbly Connect

Once the test data is sent, Pabbly Connect will display the captured lead details in the workflow. You can choose to wait for a real lead to come through or proceed using the test lead data.

To finalize your automation, click on the “Add New Action Step” button. Here, you will set up the action to send SMS messages using Twilio. Select Twilio as the action application and choose the event “Send SMS Message”.

  • Select Twilio from the action applications.
  • Choose “Send SMS Message” as the event.
  • Connect your Twilio account with the necessary credentials.

By connecting Twilio through Pabbly Connect, you can automate SMS sending based on the leads captured from Google Ads.

4. Configuring Twilio SMS Settings

After selecting Twilio, you will need to provide your Account SID and Authorization Token. These can be found in your Twilio account dashboard. Copy and paste these credentials into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect.

Next, set up the SMS body. You can personalize the message by mapping the lead’s name from the captured details. For instance, the message could read: “Hi [Lead’s Name], your inquiry is active. We are offering a limited free consultation for Google Ads leads today.” This personalization enhances the communication and improves engagement.

To finalize the SMS setup, input the sender number from your Twilio account and map the recipient number from the lead details captured earlier. Click on “Save and Send Test Request” to verify that the SMS is sent successfully. This step confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the SMS sending process.

5. Testing and Verifying the Automation

After completing the setup, it’s essential to test the automation to ensure everything works as intended. Check your SMS for the message sent from Twilio. If you are using a Twilio trial account, the message will indicate that it was sent from a trial account, but the content will remain the same.

With the test successfully completed, you have effectively learned how to automate SMS sending using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to respond promptly to leads generated from your Google Ads campaigns.
