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

Every small business runs on WhatsApp. Orders, questions, follow-ups — it all happens there. But answering the same questions 50 times a day? That's not a business, that's a treadmill. So I built WhatsAppKit — 4 production-ready n8n workflows that turn WhatsApp into your hardest-working employee. The 4 automations 1. Order Bot Customer messages on WhatsApp — sees your menu — places an order by name or number — gets confirmation. Everything logged to Google Sheets, you get an instant alert. No app to install, no website needed. 2. AI Lead Qualifier Every inquiry gets scored 1-10 by AI (Ollama locally, or OpenAI). Hot leads (7+) ping you immediately with the details. Cold ones get logged quietly. You stop chasing, start closing. 3. FAQ Auto-Reply Answers from YOUR knowledge base — in English and Roman Urdu. It can't hallucinate because it can only answer from what you taught it. Unmatched questions get forwarded to you. 4. Opt-in Broadcast Send personalized WhatsApp messages to customers who said yes. Template-based (Meta-compliant), logged, respectful. No spam — consent is checked before every send. The honest stack WhatsApp Cloud API (free tier: 1,000 conversations/month) via a free Meta developer app n8n self-hosted (free) Ollama for local AI (free) or OpenAI Google Sheets as the database Every workflow has a CONFIG node (all keys in one place) and a setup sticky in Roman Urdu + English. Honest requirements (no sugarcoating) You need your own Meta app + WhatsApp Cloud API — setup steps included, free tier is generous n8n needs a public HTTPS URL for Meta webhooks (localhost won't work) Dashboard tokens expire in 24h — the guide shows how to get a permanent System User token Get it WhatsAppKit — $49 one-time, commercial license included: https://mohsina91.gumroad.com/l/ttxqw Launch code WHATSAPP10 takes $10 off. This is the companion to my AgentKit (5 Telegram AI agents) — same local-first philosophy, different battlefield. What would you automate on WhatsApp first?
