Dear Team,

I would like to set up an automation where, when a user starts communicating with us via WhatsApp, the contact is automatically created in HubSpot CRM. Please help me on this.


Thanks,

Hey @vais,

Could you please confirm the trigger application you are using to manage your WhatsApp messages? Knowing the specific application will help us guide you correctly with the workflow setup.

Looking forward to your response.

The workflow you had set up was already correct. Each time you receive a new message on WhatsApp, a contact will be added to your HubSpot CRM account.

We’ve made a slight change to your workflow by adding a Search a Contact action step along with a Filter step. This ensures that if the contact already exists in your HubSpot account, it won’t be added again, thereby preventing errors related to duplicate contacts.

Hi Arshil,

Thanks for your reply.

The contact is not being created automatically in HubSpot CRM when communication is initiated via WhatsApp. Please find the attached video clip for your reference.

Please set up Pabbly Chatflow: New Messages Received as the trigger step of your workflow by following the steps shown below, and then try to capture a new message. Currently, new messages are not triggering your workflow.

Hi Arshil,

I have created the workflow as you mentioned. The contact was created only once during the initial setup. After that, when I send another WhatsApp message, a new contact is not created in HubSpot CRM.


Additionally, the phone number and WhatsApp message are not showing in HubSpot CRM.


Please find the attached screenshot for your reference.
