This n8n template builds a simple WhatsApp chabot acting as a Sales Agent. The Agent is backed by a product catalog vector store to better answer user's questions. This template is intended to help introduce n8n users interested in building with WhatsApp. How it works This template is in 2 parts: creating the product catalog vector store and building the WhatsApp AI chatbot. A product brochure is imported via HTTP request node and its text contents extracted. The text contents are then uploaded to the in-memory vector store to build a knowledgebase for the chatbot. A WhatsApp trigger is used to capture messages from customers where non-text messages are filtered out. The customer's message is sent to the AI Agent which queries the product catalogue using the vector store tool. The Agent's response is sent back to the user via the WhatsApp node. How to use Once you've setup and configured your WhatsApp account and credentials First, populate the vector store by clicking the "Test Workflow" button. Next, activate the workflow to enable the WhatsApp chatbot. Message your designated WhatsApp number and you should receive a message from the AI sales agent. Tweak datasource and behaviour as required.

This n8n template demonstrates the beginnings of building your own n8n-powered WhatsApp chatbot! Under the hood, utilise n8n's powerful AI features to handle different message types and use an AI agent to respond to the user. A powerful tool for any use-case! How it works Incoming WhatsApp Trigger provides a way to get messages into the workflow. The message received is extracted and sent through 1 of 4 branches for processing. Each processing branch uses AI to analyse, summarize or transcribe the message so that the AI agent can understand it. The supported types are text, image, audio (voice notes) and video (no sound). The AI Agent is used to generate a response generally and uses a wikipedia tool for more complex queries. Finally, the response message is sent back to the WhatsApp user using the WhatsApp node. How to use Once you have setup and configured your WhatsApp account, you'll need to activate your workflow to start processing messages. Good to know: Large media files may negatively impact workflow performance.

Good luck! Go beyond and create rich and engagement customer experiences by responding using images, audio and video instead of just text!
