WhatsApp is where buying conversations start in our markets. The problem is speed: a lead that waits an hour is often a lead lost to a competitor who replied in five minutes.
The workflow
A WhatsApp message triggers the n8n workflow.
An AI agent detects the language and intent.
It asks two or three qualifying questions — budget, timeline, location.
The lead is scored and created in the CRM.
Hot leads are routed to a human with the full conversation.
Why n8n
n8n gives us visual workflows, self-hosting for data-sensitive clients and hundreds of integrations — so the agent can check stock, prices or bookings in your real systems instead of guessing.
The best automation doesn't replace your team. It makes sure they only spend time on conversations that matter.
If your team answers the same ten questions every day, that's the first workflow worth automating.
