1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Automation

To begin automating the process of sending course lectures to students via WhatsApp, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting Pabbly Connect and creating a free account. This platform allows you to seamlessly integrate various applications without any coding skills.

After signing up, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Course Lectures on WhatsApp Automatically’. Once you create the workflow, you will see options for setting a trigger and an action, which are essential components of your automation.

2. Creating a Registration Form with Pabbly Form Builder

Next, you will need to create a registration form for your course using Pabbly Form Builder. This form will collect the necessary information from students who wish to enroll. Select the form builder option and create a form that captures student details such as name, contact number, and email.

• Include fields for student name, WhatsApp number, and email.
• Ensure the WhatsApp number is in the correct format with the country code.
• Add a submit button to complete the form.

Once your form is ready, navigate to the integration settings within the Pabbly Form Builder. Here, you will connect your form to Pabbly Connect by selecting the webhook option, which is crucial for triggering the automation when a student submits the form.

3. Configuring Webhook Integration in Pabbly Connect

After creating your form, it’s time to configure the webhook in Pabbly Connect. In your workflow, select Pabbly Form Builder as the trigger application and choose the event as ‘New Form Submission’. This will generate a unique webhook URL that you will need to copy.

Now, go back to the Pabbly Form Builder dashboard and navigate to the integration section of your form. Here, select the Webhooks tab and paste the copied webhook URL. Click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. After saving, you will see a message indicating that the webhook is waiting for a response, confirming that the integration is set up correctly.

4. Sending Course Lectures via WhatsApp Using 360 Dialog

To send course lectures to students, you will utilize the WhatsApp API through Pabbly Connect and 360 Dialog. In your workflow, add a new action step and select 360 Dialog as the application. Choose the action event ‘Send Template Message’. You will need to connect your 360 Dialog account by entering your API key and domain.

Once connected, select the message template you created on 360 Dialog. This template should include placeholders for student names, course names, and links to the lectures. Map the data from the form submission to these placeholders to personalize each message sent to students.

5. Automating Daily Delivery of Lectures

To ensure that course lectures are sent daily, you need to implement a delay step in your workflow. After sending the first lecture, add a delay action in Pabbly Connect to pause the workflow for one day. This can be done by selecting ‘Delay’ and setting the value to one day.

Repeat the action for each subsequent lecture by adding additional delay steps followed by the action to send the next lecture. This allows you to automate the delivery of lectures over multiple days without manual intervention, ensuring that students receive their course materials automatically.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the process of sending course lectures to students via WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect and Pabbly Form Builder. By setting up a registration form, configuring webhook integrations, and utilizing the WhatsApp API, educators can efficiently manage course delivery without manual effort. This automation not only saves time but also enhances the learning experience for students.
