WhatsApp Starter Workflow

This n8n workflow is designed for working with the WhatsApp Business platform. It allows to send custom replies via WhatsApp in response to incoming user messages. 💡 Take a look at the step-by-step tutorial on how to create a WhatsApp bot. The workflow consists of two parts: 1. The first Verify webhook sends back verification challenge string. You will need this part during the setup process on the Meta for Developers portal: !wfexplain.png(fileId:775) - Select your App - Go to WhatsApp Configuration - Click on the Edit button in the Webhook session - Enter your production webhook URL, provide Verify token (can be any text string) - Remember to activate the n8n workflow! - Finally press "Verify and save" !wfexplain2.png(fileId:774) 2. Once the webhook is verified, the Respond webhook receives various POST requests from Meta regarding WhatsApp messages (user messages and status notifications). The workflow checks whether the incoming JSON contains a user message. If this is the case, it sends the text message back to the user. This is a custom message, not a WhatsApp Business template.
