WhatsApp Message Templates & Free n8n Workflows
Choose message copy for your WhatsApp Business API provider, or a reference workflow if you configure n8n yourself. Preview the $19 copy kit below; the $49 technical pack and free JSON examples follow. The underlying architecture is explained in the car dealership AI stack.
WhatsApp Meta Template Kit
Eight WhatsApp Business API message drafts, a submission checklist and a setup guide. Adapt the text in your provider's template editor and submit it for Meta review.

The first-reply draft below is included in the kit. Replace {{1}} with the contact's first name and adapt the wording to your actual process.
Hi {{1}}! Thanks for reaching out. This first reply is automated so we don't leave you waiting — which option are you looking at, or what's your budget? Reply here and a specialist will continue.

Before you buy: this is a ZIP of editable Markdown text files, not a bot or an automation service. You need WhatsApp Business API access through a provider such as Wati, AiSensy or respond.io. Provider and message charges are separate. Meta decides approval; the kit cannot guarantee approval, delivery, replies or sales. Sending, consent checks, opt-out handling and stopping the cadence must be configured in your own system.
Dealership Lead Recovery Pack
An n8n JSON reference workflow for lead intake, a WhatsApp template reply, hot/warm/cold scoring, vehicle-interest capture and reply checks before day 1/3/7 follow-ups. Includes a setup guide with five dealership message drafts.
Wati is the example integration. Credentials, approved templates, Google Sheets and provider-specific testing are required. Other providers need an adapter; inventory posting and managed setup are not included.
Free templates
The workflows are standard n8n JSON files for self-hosted Community Edition or n8n Cloud. Importing the file is only the first step: connect credentials, map your provider's fields and test delivery and reply handling before enabling real sends.
1. WhatsApp Lead Follow-Up
Reference flow: receive a lead webhook, request a WhatsApp template send, log the lead and check reply history before one follow-up after 24 hours. Unknown or incomplete history stops the workflow. Validate the provider mapping and maintain recipient suppression before enabling sends.
- Webhook intake from sources you connect and map
- Wati HTTP example; adapt requests for other providers
- Google Sheets logging with timestamps
- n8n knowledge and provider-specific validation required
2. Missed Call → WhatsApp Recovery
Reference flow: normalize a missed-call event, request a WhatsApp template send and log the call. Confirm messaging permission and test the phone-system payload before activation.
- Requires a phone system with a no-answer webhook and mapped caller fields
- Wati example for a "sorry we missed you" template
- Missed-call volume logging
- Configuration and testing required; delivery time is not guaranteed
What you need alongside the n8n workflows
| Piece | Options | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| n8n | Self-hosted (free) or Cloud | $0–23/mo |
| WhatsApp Business API | Wati, respond.io or AiSensy — compared here | ~$16–79/mo |
| Phone webhook (missed-call template only) | Twilio, CallRail, your PBX | usage-based |
