The pain

The team was running two business lines through one overworked WhatsApp inbox. E-commerce buyers were asking about order status. Education prospects were asking about enrollment.

The team was answering the same 12 questions all day, copying order details from Shopify, and missing high-intent buyers because they were buried in low-intent messages.

They needed automation that handled the repetitive 80% and routed the rest to humans without losing context.

What I built

WhatsApp Business API

Through Meta Cloud API into n8n.

Intent classifier

Routes incoming messages to e-commerce, education, or human handoff.

Order lookup tool

Pulls live data from the Shopify-equivalent backend.

Notion CRM sync

Writes enrollment leads with auto-tagging by source.

Template responses

For known questions with Claude-generated personalized intros.

Manual takeover dashboard

Staff can take any conversation with full message history.

Resilience

Handles duplicates, missing data, and API failures with Slack alerts.
