Capture leads on WhatsApp and save them to Sheets
From the linked report, the n8n workflow starts with a WhatsApp trigger that feeds incoming messages to an AI agent. The agent asks the lead for name and email during the chat, then writes the data directly to Google Sheets. The demo shows the lead captured and saved automatically to Sheets.

Why it matters
Email is where a lot of admin quietly piles up. An agent that can read, sort, draft and follow up turns an inbox from a to-do list into something closer to a summary. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Email & Inbox on Agent Sightings (number 44 by interest), and one of 36 involving n8n.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into n8n or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Go through my mail for this goal: capture leads on WhatsApp and save them to Sheets. Propose labels, drafts, and unsubscribes as a checklist; change nothing until I approve.
Tip: Start with read-only access or 'draft, don't send', and check a few drafts before trusting it to send anything.
