About the Project: I am the founder of an EdTech platform looking for an experienced automation expert to build an end-to-end WhatsApp file delivery system. I need you to build the conversational flow from scratch inside Chat Mitra, connect it to my n8n backend (which you will install and configure on my plain Hostinger KVM VPS) to generate dynamic menus from a database, process payments via Razorpay, and automate digital file delivery via email.
Tech Stack You Will Work With (Strictly Limited To):
WhatsApp API: Chat Mitra
Automation: n8n (To be installed via Docker on a plain Hostinger Ubuntu VPS)
Payments: Razorpay
Delivery: SMTP Email (via custom domain)
Scope of Work:
Server & n8n Setup: Install and configure Docker, n8n, and any necessary reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx/Traefik) on a fresh Hostinger Ubuntu 24.04 VPS. Configure secure local directories on the server for hosting the PDF files.
Email & SMTP Setup: Create the official business email ([email protected]) via my Hostinger account. Configure all necessary DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) so the n8n automated delivery emails do not land in spam.
The WhatsApp Front-End: Build the interactive flow inside Chat Mitra starting from the user’s “Hi”. The core flow must be: Greeting → State Selection → Medium Selection → Stream Selection.
Note on States: The State menu must include “State 1”, plus “State 2 (Coming Soon)” and “State 3 (Coming Soon)”. The “Coming Soon” buttons should return a text reply and not trigger n8n.
“Request/Help” Routing: Add a “Request Course / Help” button to both the Main Menu and at the end of the chatbot flow. If a user clicks this, Chat Mitra must simply reply with a text message directing them to email [email protected] with their syllabus or query.
The n8n Handoff (Course Display): Connect Chat Mitra to n8n via Webhooks after the “Stream Selection” step. n8n must look up the available subjects for that specific State/Medium/Stream from a master Excel/CSV file and push an Interactive List Message back to WhatsApp.
Student Details & Checkout Flow: When a subject is selected from the dynamic list, the Chat Mitra flow must prompt the user to enter their Full Name (must include basic validation to reject special characters/numbers and ask the user to re-enter if invalid), followed by their Email Address (must include format validation to ensure a proper email structure like [email protected]). Finally, it must display a required Declaration/Terms message with an “I Agree” button. Upon agreement, Chat Mitra will send this complete checkout payload (Name, Email, Phone, Course Selected) to n8n via Webhook.
Payment Generation: Receiving the final checkout payload, n8n must generate a specific Razorpay payment link and send it via WhatsApp.
Fulfillment & Invoicing: Catch the Razorpay payment.captured webhook. Trigger the SMTP email node to send the secure download links for the PDF notes (hosted locally on the VPS). For the invoice, simply trigger the standard Razorpay receipt to the customer.
WhatsApp Confirmation: Send a final automated message via Chat Mitra confirming successful payment and email delivery.
Security & Access Provided:
You will be provided with a “Skeleton File” containing 100% fake, randomized dummy data to build the logic.
You are responsible for using your own test Chat Mitra sandbox/number during development to avoid triggering messages to live users.
You will not have access to our live proprietary curriculum.
You will be provided with Razorpay TEST API keys only.
You will get temporary SSH/root access to a plain Hostinger Ubuntu VPS to configure the environment, Chat Mitra API tokens, and limited Hostinger hPanel access (only for email/DNS setup).
Payment Terms (Non-Negotiable):
This is a fixed-fee project.
Payment will be made strictly via UPI.
Milestone Structure:
20% Advance: Upon agreeing to terms and receiving access/API keys.
40% on Successful Demo: Showing the full Chat Mitra flow, email delivery, and n8n logic working flawlessly with test data and test payments.
40% on Final Handover: After I swap in my live master file, plug in live Razorpay keys, and verify a real transaction.

Approach to Dynamic Subject Listing:
I would import your master Excel/CSV file into n8n using the Spreadsheet node and normalize it into structured JSON.
After the State → Medium → Stream selection in Chat Mitra, a webhook will trigger n8n to filter subjects dynamically based on those parameters.
The filtered results will then be mapped into the WhatsApp Interactive List Message JSON format required by Chat Mitra and sent back via API, ensuring the menu is fully database-driven and not hardcoded.
The infrastructure setup (Docker, reverse proxy, SSL, SMTP with SPF/DKIM/DMARC) would be structured securely and documented for long-term maintainability.
This project aligns perfectly with my experience in n8n infrastructure, WhatsApp automation, and payment-driven fulfillment systems.
I’d prefer to discuss the scope and expectations in detail before locking in numbers. Once I fully understand your priorities, I can share a structured proposal and we can adjust things according to your budget.
Let’s connect directly and go through everything properly.
I got you, I have been building all forms of automations for the past 2 years and have built 100s of flows for my clients. Have worked with all sorts of companies and gotten them 10s of thousands in revenue or savings by strategic flows. When you decide to work with me, not only will I build this flow out, but also give you a free consultation like I have for all my clients that led to these revenue jumps.
I have built a similar workflow like this for one of my clients. I can not only share that but also how you can streamline processes in your company for faster operations. All this with no strings attached on our first call.
Here, have a look at my website and you can book a call with me there!
You’re close and the best safe way is to treat Chat Mitra as UI + validation, and keep all state/menu/payment logic in n8n.
For the dynamic subject list: after Stream Selection, Chat Mitra hits an n8n webhook with {state, medium, stream, wa_number}; n8n reads your master CSV/Excel (I’d normalize it once into a lightweight “subjects” table or at least cache it in n8n Data Store), filters rows, then returns a WhatsApp Interactive List payload back to Chat Mitra using Chat Mitra’s “send list message” API. Each list item should have a stable id like SUBJECT|<code> so the next step is deterministic.
For reliability: store a mapping record per user session {wa_number, selected_ids, stage, timestamp} and enforce idempotency on webhooks (dedupe by {wa_number + stage + subject_id}), plus retries/backoff on Chat Mitra + SMTP nodes and a failed-items queue workflow for anything that can’t deliver.
For payment + fulfillment: Razorpay payment.captured webhook triggers a single “fulfill” workflow that generates a short-lived signed download URL (or one-time token) for the PDF on the VPS, sends email via authenticated SMTP with SPF/DKIM/DMARC aligned, and then posts the WhatsApp confirmation. Also add rate-limit handling + basic payload validation before any write/send.
That gives you no duplicate sends, clean recovery on failures, and a flow you can safely scale without random edge-case breaks.
I’ve built similar WhatsApp + n8n + payment → fulfillment automations in production, where list-driven menus come from a master dataset and everything is tracked with dedupe + retries. Happy to share the exact list-message JSON shape + session/mapping pattern + DLQ setup if helpful.
Days 3–4: Chat Mitra conversational flow (greeting → state → medium → stream)
Days 5–7: n8n webhook logic, CSV/Excel lookup, dynamic List Message generation
Days 8–9: Razorpay payment link generation + webhook capture + email delivery
Days 10–11: WhatsApp confirmation flow + end-to-end testing with dummy data
Day 12: Buffer for fixes, demo prep, handover documentation
How I’ll pull subjects from your database and push them as a WhatsApp List Message:
After the user selects their Stream in Chat Mitra, it fires a webhook to n8n carrying the State, Medium, and Stream as parameters. Inside n8n, I’ll use the Read Binary File or spreadsheet node to load your master CSV/Excel file, then filter rows matching the exact State/Medium/Stream combination using the n8n Function or Filter node. The filtered subject list gets mapped into the WhatsApp Interactive List Message structure (sections + rows with title and description fields) and sent back to Chat Mitra via the Chat Mitra API’s interactive message endpoint. The result is a dynamic, clickable subject list built fresh from your file on every request, no hardcoding, fully data-driven.
