Track WhatsApp Group Messages in Airtable
Automates tracking of WhatsApp group message activity by capturing messages via webhook, identifying types, and updating user counts in Airtable.
This n8n workflow monitors a specific WhatsApp group for incoming messages using a Whapi webhook. It filters messages to ensure they originate from the target group (chat_id: 120363417847196227@g.us), then classifies them by type—text, emoji reaction, voice note, or image.
Next, it queries an Airtable database using the sender's WhatsApp ID to locate or create a user record. The workflow increments the user's total message count by one and records the timestamp of the latest interaction. This provides real-time insights into group engagement without manual intervention.
Benefits include effortless measurement of user participation for initiatives like raffles, rewards, or leaderboards. It's scalable for additional message types, notifications, or integrations like email alerts for top contributors. Ideal for community managers fostering active WhatsApp groups.
