For example, it can trigger a workflow when a new WhatsApp message is received or when a participant joins a WhatsApp group.

Use Case Examples

  2. Trigger a workflow when someone joins a WhatsApp group to welcome the new participant or update a CRM system.
  3. Trigger a workflow when a WhatsApp message reaction is received to analyze user engagement.
