Microsoft Outlook and WhatsApp Business Cloud integration

How to connect Microsoft Outlook and WhatsApp Business Cloud

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow.
