Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: Latest
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting: [Add current setting if known]
  • Running n8n via: Docker
  • Operating system: Docker

Hi,

I succesfully deployed a test version of a WhatsApp bot, following the guide on Create WhatsApp Bot: A Low-Code Guide (+ Free Template) – n8n Blog

Now I have registered a virtual phone number within WhatsApp business but no clue what to do next.
Just adapt the test app, create totally new flow or adapt my test flow …

Didn’t found any guidance on this, only the test setup info.

Note: what confuses me a lot is this guide: Building Your First WhatsApp Chatbot | n8n workflow template

The test setup is working with a webhook, the other guide works with a trigger but doesn’t use the business whatsapp. So when is the webhook used and when the trigger?

Thanks for your input!

  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

hi @JanHoedt

Sorry for the late reply on this one :slight_smile:

The test setup is working with a webhook, the other guide works with a trigger but doesn’t use the business whatsapp. So when is the webhook used and when the trigger?

I believe the webhook is probably used for testing and the trigger is used for production but can you please share more details on what you’re trying to achieve:

Can you share what you intend to have at the end?

Thanks!

Thanks for the input. Though I parked this setup for now since it consumed to much time for me and there is no urgent need to make it work for now.
