The time it saves
Whenever a WhatsApp Business event event happens. Doing the same work by hand takes about 5 minutes each time, so it saves about 25 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 3 blocks and 1 tool.
The flow, block by block
- WhatsApp messageTrigger · WhatsApp Business eventStarts the flow when something happens in WhatsApp Business: a new record, a message, a change.
- AssistantxMap AI · AI agentAn AI agent: for each incoming message it thinks, uses the blocks you link to its Tools port (data, xMap AI, lookups, your tables, other flows, apps), remembers the conversation and writes an answer in {{reply}}.
- Places nearbyxMap data · Nearby placesA tool the AI agent uses when it needs itPlaces around a point from xMap’s own places database (300M+ places, refreshed every month): pick the types of place (more than 5,000, such as Restaurant, Cafe, Pharmacy, Hospital or Gas station, or a whole group of them) and how far to look.
- Reply on WhatsAppAction · ReplyAnswers whoever started the flow, on the same channel: the app or system that called its Webhook / API gets the answer back, and a message from Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Teams, SMS, Outlook or Discord gets a reply in the same chat, through the account of the block that received it.
Every block can be changed after you use the template: the city, the type of place, the score, where the results go.
