The problem it solves

Every new member who joins your WhatsApp group deserves a warm welcome, but you can't watch the group around the clock to send one yourself. Without it, new people join and never hear from you, so they lose interest before they even get started.

Who it fits

Community managers and business owners running WhatsApp groups for customers or members.

How it works

  1. The automation detects when someone joins your WhatsApp group
  2. It confirms the event is a new member joining, not someone leaving
  3. It waits a short, natural amount of time before reaching out
  4. A personalized welcome message is sent directly to the new member's private chat
What you get

New members greeted the moment they join

You give every new member in your WhatsApp group a warm, personal welcome the moment they arrive.

What you get

A private welcome message automatically sent to every new group member.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account connected through Evolution API.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
