The Problem

Most businesses lose 30 percent of leads because nobody follows up in time. Manual CRM entry is the biggest culprit.

The Automation Recipe

Trigger: New WhatsApp message, website form, or email.

Steps:

  1. Parse the message with AI to extract name, phone, intent
  2. Create or update contact in HubSpot, Zoho, or Airtable
  3. Assign to correct sales rep by round robin
  4. Send instant WhatsApp acknowledgement
  5. Book a follow up task in 24 hours

Tools: n8n + OpenAI + your CRM.

Time To Build

3 hours for a basic version, 1 day for production ready.
