Auto-Send WhatsApp Welcome Messages to Vtiger CRM Leads

This workflow automates the process of sending personalized WhatsApp welcome messages to newly created leads in Vtiger CRM using the Evolution API. Triggered every minute by a schedule node, it queries Vtiger for uncontacted leads (where custom field cf_1090 != 1), crafts a tailored message with the lead's name, sends it via WhatsApp, and updates the CRM record to mark the lead as messaged.

Key benefits include instant first-touch communication, which boosts lead response rates and nurtures prospects from the moment they enter your CRM. It eliminates manual outreach, saving sales teams hours of repetitive work while ensuring no leads are missed. Ideal for businesses relying on WhatsApp for customer acquisition in regions where it's dominant.

Use cases: Sales teams in e-commerce, real estate, or services using Vtiger; marketing agencies nurturing inbound leads; any operation wanting to automate WhatsApp onboarding. Requires self-hosted n8n with community nodes for Vtiger and Evolution API.

Visual previews show the full node flow and sample messages like 'Hi [Name] 😊, We received your interest...'. Setup involves installing nodes, configuring credentials, and customizing the message template for seamless deployment.
