Our leads die in WhatsApp. Can an agent classify intent, update CRM, and remind the sales rep without sounding robotic?

Yes — if WhatsApp is treated as a channel, not the database.

Pattern that works
1. Capture message into a queue
2. Classify intent + urgency with an LLM step
3. Upsert CRM fields (idempotent)
4. Draft a reply for human approve OR auto-send only for low-risk templates
5. Schedule follow-up reminders

I implement this with n8n nodes + CRM API + clear ownership of each field. Start on one pipeline stage only.
