WhatsApp Business CloudQuick overview This workflow handles inbound WhatsApp Business messages with an OpenAI-powered sales agent that uses Pinecone RAG for product answers and Google Calendar tools for scheduling, then either replies on WhatsApp or hands the conversation to Slack, with Slack-based error alerts. How it works Triggers on every inbound WhatsApp Business message and checks whether the payload contains a text body. Drops non-text messages (such as images or voice notes) and continues only with text conversations. Uses an OpenAI chat model with per-customer session memory to generate a concise sales reply and decide whether a human handoff is needed. Lets the agent query a Pinecone-backed product catalog via OpenAI embeddings to answer pricing, specs, and availability questions. Lets the agent check availability and book appointments in Google Calendar when the customer requests scheduling. Parses the agent’s HANDOFF flag and either posts the customer message plus draft reply to a Slack channel or sends the reply back to the customer on WhatsApp. Sends a Slack alert to an ops channel if any step in the workflow fails.

Quick overview This workflow turns WhatsApp into a multimodal assistant that answers text, voice notes, images, and PDF documents using OpenAI, and can generate images with DALL·E on demand, replying back in WhatsApp with either text, audio, or an image. How it works Triggers when a new WhatsApp message is received. Detects whether the incoming message is text, a voice note, an image, a PDF document, or an unsupported type. For text messages, generates an image with OpenAI DALL·E when the message starts with the configured /image command, and sends the generated image back to the sender. For voice notes, fetches the WhatsApp media URL, downloads the audio, transcribes it with OpenAI, and forwards the transcript to the assistant. For images, fetches the WhatsApp media URL, downloads the image, describes it with OpenAI vision using the configured analysis prompt, and forwards the description (plus any caption) to the assistant. For PDF documents, downloads the file from WhatsApp, extracts the PDF text, and forwards the extracted content (plus any caption) to the assistant, while non-PDF files receive an error message. Uses an OpenAI chat model with per-contact short-term memory to ge

Answer customer questions on WhatsApp with OpenAI, Gmail, and Google Sheets
Quick overview This workflow answers incoming WhatsApp customer questions using an OpenAI-powered agent that reads your live website via HTTP requests, escalates unclear or sensitive cases to your support team via Gmail, and logs each conversation to Google Sheets. How it works Triggers when a new WhatsApp message is received. Loads configuration values (company name, website root URL, AI model, language rules, escalation email, and WhatsApp phone number ID) and extracts the customer phone number and message text. Ignores non-text WhatsApp updates (such as images, audio, and status messages). Uses OpenAI with conversation memory to navigate your website by listing links and fetching relevant pages, then generates a structured result containing an answer, escalation flag, sentiment, topic, and source URLs. If the agent marks the request as needing a human, sends an escalation email via Gmail to your support address with the customer details and the drafted reply. Sends the final plain-text reply back to the customer on WhatsApp. Appends the conversation details to a Google Sheets log.
