Automate WhatsApp Group Welcomes and Engagement
detail.loadingPreview
Automatically welcome new members to your WhatsApp groups and initiate engagement. This workflow triggers on new participants, sends a personalized welcome message, and logs them into your Airtable for further tracking.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline your WhatsApp group management by automating the welcome process for new members. It begins by listening for a webhook notification when someone joins a group. The workflow then filters these events to ensure they pertain to the correct group and that the action is indeed an 'add' operation. Upon successful validation, it dispatches a personalized welcome message via Whapi to the new participant. Concurrently, it logs the new member's WhatsApp ID and the current date into an Airtable database, setting a starting point for engagement tracking and potentially future point-based reward systems. This ensures consistent onboarding and provides a centralized record for managing your group's growing community.
Key Features
- Automated Welcome Messages: Instantly greet new WhatsApp group members with pre-defined messages.
- Smart Event Filtering: Ensures automations only trigger for specific groups and for new member additions.
- Airtable Integration: Seamlessly log new participants into your Airtable for easy tracking and management.
- Engagement Point Initialization: Automatically assign starting points (e.g., 100) to new members in your database.
How To Use
- Configure Webhook: Set up the 'New group participant' webhook node to receive notifications from Whapi when a new user joins your group. Ensure the webhook URL is correctly registered with Whapi.
- Define Filtering Conditions: In the 'Filter' node, specify the exact
group_idof your target WhatsApp group and set theactionto 'add'. This ensures the workflow only runs for new members joining the intended group. - Customize Welcome Message: Update the 'Welcome WhatsApp message' node with your desired welcome message. Replace
MESSAGEin thebodyparameter with your personalized text. Ensure your Whapiauthorizationtoken is correctly configured. - Set Up Airtable Integration: In the 'Airtable Create' node, configure your Airtable base and table. Map the
WhatsApp_IDfield to the new participant's ID from the webhook data ($json.body.groups_participants[0].participants[0]) and set the initialCountto 100 (or your desired starting points). - Connect Nodes: Ensure the nodes are connected in the correct sequence: Webhook -> Filter -> Welcome WhatsApp message & Airtable Create.
