What arrives

What LeadSender sends to WhatsApp

A WhatsApp message to every number you list: the lead's name, phone and email first, then each answer from your form on its own line with the answer in bold. Two buttons sit underneath, one to open a WhatsApp chat with the lead and one to call them.

Alongside the answers themselves, each lead carries the campaign and ad it came from, the Facebook Page name and the time it was submitted, so you know which ad is actually working before you even pick up the phone. Every lead is scored on the way out too, with real checks on the email and phone number, so an obvious dead end doesn't cost you a call or a text.

Who it suits

Who sends Facebook leads to WhatsApp

Teams that already run their day on WhatsApp, especially outside the US, and anyone who wants to message a new lead on WhatsApp within seconds of them submitting the form.

This isn't a marketing automation platform bolted onto your lead flow. It does one thing: the alert your team is already waiting on, the moment a form is submitted, with no workflow builder and no Zapier step in between.

Use cases

  • Alerting a whole sales team, with each person's number on the same integration
  • Lead alerts in countries where WhatsApp is read faster than email or SMS

About the tools

Facebook Lead Ads, WhatsApp and LeadSender

Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook Lead Ads, now Meta lead ads, let people send you their details through an instant form on Facebook or Instagram without leaving the app. The form pre-fills from their profile, which is why these ads convert well and why the leads go cold fast if nobody follows up.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp is the messaging app most of the world already checks all day, so a lead alert there gets seen in seconds. For anyone who follows up on WhatsApp anyway, it also puts the lead one tap away from a conversation.

LeadSender

LeadSender connects Facebook and Instagram lead ads to the tools you already use. It listens to Meta's leadgen webhook, maps each answer to a real field and delivers every lead in seconds, with a LeadScore quality check on the way. No Zapier, no CSV exports.

FAQ

Facebook Leads to WhatsApp FAQs

How do I send Facebook leads to WhatsApp?

Connect your Facebook Page in LeadSender, choose WhatsApp as the destination, and map each question on your lead form to a field. Nothing to authorise and no WhatsApp Business account of your own. Alerts come from LeadSender's verified WhatsApp Business number; you add the numbers that should get them, with the country code, and buy WhatsApp credits as you need them. Once it is switched on, every new submission is delivered automatically.

How fast do leads reach WhatsApp?

Seconds. LeadSender is subscribed to Meta's leadgen webhook, so Facebook tells us the moment a form is submitted and we deliver straight on to WhatsApp. There is no polling window and no sync schedule to wait for.

Do I need Zapier to connect Facebook Lead Ads to WhatsApp?

No. LeadSender talks to Meta and to WhatsApp directly, so there is no Zapier plan to pay for on top and no extra hop for a lead to get stuck in.

Can I map my own custom fields in WhatsApp?

Yes. When you connect WhatsApp, LeadSender reads the live field list from your own account, standard fields and the custom ones you created, so you map each form answer to the field your team actually uses instead of to a fixed list.

How do I get Facebook lead ads notifications on WhatsApp?

Connect your Facebook Page in LeadSender, choose Facebook Leads to WhatsApp, pick the Page and lead form, add the WhatsApp numbers that should be alerted (with the country code) and turn it on. Every new lead from that form then arrives as a WhatsApp message within seconds.

Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account?

No. Alerts are sent from LeadSender's own verified WhatsApp Business number through Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API, so there is no Business API account, phone number or message template for you to set up.

What does the WhatsApp lead alert include?

The lead's name, phone number and email, then each answer from your lead form on its own line with the answer in bold, and the form it came from. Two buttons let you open a WhatsApp chat with the lead or call them straight from the alert.

How much do WhatsApp lead alerts cost?

WhatsApp alerts use credits, bought separately from your plan: 1,000 credits cost $10 plus tax, and 1 credit is $0.01. The price depends on the country of the WhatsApp number receiving the alert (yours, not the lead's), because Meta charges a different rate in each country: 1 credit in the US, Canada and India, 4 in Singapore or the UAE, 6 in the UK and up to 14 in Germany. The WhatsApp guide lists every country, and LeadSender shows how many leads your balance covers.

Can I send WhatsApp alerts to my whole team?

Yes. Add as many WhatsApp numbers as you like to one integration and each person gets the alert at the same time. Only add numbers whose owners have agreed to get lead alerts on WhatsApp.

Does it work for Instagram lead ads too?

Yes. Instagram lead ads use the same Instant Forms on your Facebook Page, so the same integration sends Instagram leads to WhatsApp as well.

Can I send the same leads to WhatsApp and my CRM?

Yes. Create one integration that sends the form to WhatsApp and another that sends it to your CRM, Google Sheets or email. Each lead goes to both, and each delivery shows in Run history.
