- How it went
- The demo shows the lead captured and saved automatically to Sheets. No metrics or shortfalls are stated.

Try it yourself with n8n
Build me an n8n workflow that starts when someone messages my WhatsApp Business number via the WhatsApp Cloud API. Use an AI agent node to greet the lead for [my business name], ask for their name and email one step at a time, and check the email looks valid. When both are collected, append a row to my Google Sheet [sheet name] with name, email, phone number and timestamp, then send a short thank-you reply. Test it with a sample message and show me the sheet row before you activate the workflow.
