1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Integration
To begin sending WhatsApp messages in bulk using Pabbly Connect, first, access the Pabbly Connect platform. Go to the Pabbly Connect website at Pabbly Connect and log in or sign up for a new account. Signing up is free and enables you to start automating your workflows with 100 free tasks each month.
Once logged in, you will see a dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Sheets to WhatsApp’. This will help you identify the integration process you are about to set up.
2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect
In this step, we will configure the trigger for our workflow. Since we want to send messages based on data from Google Sheets, we will use a Scheduler as the trigger event. This allows us to automate the process at specific intervals.
- Select the ‘Scheduler’ as the trigger event.
- Set the time for the trigger, converting your local time to UTC.
- Click ‘Save’ to confirm the trigger settings.
After saving the trigger, you will proceed to set up the action that will pull data from Google Sheets. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in automating the workflow.
3. Pulling Data from Google Sheets Using Pabbly Connect
The next step involves pulling data from your Google Sheets. In the action section of Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets and choose the ‘Get Rows’ event. This action will retrieve the data you need to send WhatsApp messages.
Connect your Google account to allow Pabbly Connect to access your sheets. Choose the specific sheet containing the data, for instance, one named ‘Google Sheets to WhatsApp’. Set the data range from A2 to F to ensure all relevant information is included for messaging.
- Select the sheet and specify the data range (A2:F).
- Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the data.
- Ensure the data is received in the correct format.
After confirming that the data has been correctly pulled, you can now use the Iterator feature in Pabbly Connect to process each row of data individually. This will prepare the data for WhatsApp messaging.
4. Sending WhatsApp Messages via 360 Dialog
Now that we have the data from Google Sheets, the next step is to send WhatsApp messages using the 360 Dialog API. In the action step, select the ‘Send Template Message’ option from 360 Dialog within Pabbly Connect.
Before sending messages, you need to establish a connection to your 360 Dialog account. Provide your API key and domain that you can find in your 360 Dialog account settings. Make sure to use the correct template you created for sending messages.
Connect to your 360 Dialog account using the API key. Select the message template you wish to use for sending messages. Map the data fields from the iterator to the template fields.
After mapping the fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to initiate the sending process. This will allow Pabbly Connect to send the WhatsApp messages to each recipient listed in your Google Sheets.
