Integrate Pabbly with WhatsApp via AiSensy

Campaign

Pabbly is one of the best automation & integration tools that allows you to automate manual & routine tasks in real-time. 

Here, we'll tell you how you can integrate Pabbly with WhatsApp via AiSensy to automate API-based campaigns on WhatsApp👇 

How Pabbly Works!

Pabbly acts as an intermediate between two applications, transferring data from one app into another. Basically, it works on triggers & actions. A trigger on one app will lead to an action on the other app.

Here are some trigger examples for better understanding-

1. A customer purchases something from your store. 

2. A person books an appointment.

3. A person makes a payment

Here are the actions that you might want to follow:

1. Deliver notification on WhatsApp for the same event

2. Add the person to your AiSensy contacts

3. Add the person to your CRM.

and much more...

Let's understand this with an example of how you can connect an App like Hubspot to send WhatsApp API Campaigns via AiSensy with Pabbly.

    Add Parameters & Attributes

    Here, map the template parameters. Make sure to separate each parameter with a ',' (comma).

    Note- You only need to map parameter values only if your message contains variable parameters. E.g. name, number. 

    Next, map the attributes between '{}' (curved brackets) and separate each attribute with a comma ','

    Note here that mapping Tags & Attributes is purely optional.

    Save & send test Request

    Last, save and send a test request to check whether the Campaign is all set or not. 

    If all goes well, you'll get a success message. If there are errors, you'll receive an 'error message' mentioning the reason for failure. 

    Revise the campaign & check for underlying errors. 

    If the error still persists, you can connect with our customer support team for further help. 

    Save & send test request

Things to remember!

  • Optional fields like Tags, Attributes are not necessary for the request payload.

  • The medial URL provided should be publically accessible, otherwise, the request will be rejected.

  • The length of the template params array should be equal to the number of params required in the campaign whose name is provided in the campaign name field. Otherwise, the request will be rejected.

  • Tags should be created in your project before using them. It can be done by anyone with manager level access.

  • If a tag doesn't exist in your project, the campaign WILL fail. The same goes for Attribute.

  • Only add media if your message contains a media file. Otherwise, ignore it!

  • Attributes should be added to the project before using them. It can be done by anyone with manager level access.

  • If an attribute doesn't exist in your project, it will be ignored.
