WhatsApp Is Where Business Happens — I Automated It with 4 n8n Workflows

Description and use

Four production‑ready n8n workflows automate orders, lead qualification, FAQ replies, and opt‑in broadcasts on WhatsApp, reducing manual effort.

Problem

Small businesses rely on WhatsApp for orders, questions, and follow‑ups, but answering repetitive queries 50 times a day is inefficient.

Outcome

Four production‑ready n8n workflows automate order processing, lead qualification, FAQ answering, and opt‑in broadcasts on WhatsApp, reducing manual effort and improving response speed.

Workflow

• 1. Order Bot: customer places order via WhatsApp, order logged to Google Sheets, instant alert sent.
• 2. AI Lead Qualifier: every inquiry scored 1‑10 by AI (Ollama or OpenAI), hot leads (7+) pinged immediately, cold leads logged.
• 3. FAQ Auto‑Reply: answers from a knowledge base in English and Roman Urdu, no hallucination, unmatched questions forwarded.
• 4. Opt‑in Broadcast: send personalized, Meta‑compliant messages to consenting customers, logged and respectful.

Evidence

Every small business runs on WhatsApp. Orders, questions, follow‑ups — it all happens there.
