Overview
🔍 How it works
This workflow turns WhatsApp into a smart email command center using AI.
Users can speak or type instructions like:
- "Send a follow-up to Claire”
- "Write a draft email to Claire to confirm tomorrow’s meeting at 5 PM”
- "What is the name of Claire's firm?”
The agent transcribes voice notes, extracts intent with GPT, interacts with Gmail (send, draft, search), and replies with a confirmation via WhatsApp — either as text or a voice message.
⚙️ Key Modules Used
- WhatsApp Business Webhook (Meta)
- OpenAI Whisper (voice transcription)
- GPT (intent + content generation)
- Gmail (search, draft, send)
- Airtable (contact lookup + memory logging)
🧠 Memory Layer (Optional)
The agent logs key fields in Airtable:
- Recipient email
- Company / job title And more... This creates a lightweight "gut memory” so the agent feels context-aware.
🗺️ Setup Steps
- Connect WhatsApp Business API (via Meta Developer Console)
- Add OpenAI and Gmail credentials in n8n
- Link your Airtable base for contacts and logging
🧩 Best Use Cases
