Manage emails via WhatsApp with Gmail, GPT and voice recognition

How it works This workflow turns WhatsApp into a smart email command center using AI. Users can speak or type instructions like: - "Send a follow-up to Claire” - "Write a draft email to Claire to confirm tomorrow’s meeting at 5 PM” - "What is the name of Claire's firm?” The agent transcribes voice notes, extracts intent with GPT, interacts with Gmail (send, draft, search), and replies with a confirmation via WhatsApp — either as text or a voice message. ⚙️ Key Modules Used - WhatsApp Business Webhook (Meta) - OpenAI Whisper (voice transcription) - GPT (intent + content generation) - Gmail (search, draft, send) - Airtable (contact lookup + memory logging) 🧠 Memory Layer (Optional) The agent logs key fields in Airtable: - Recipient email - Company / job title And more... This creates a lightweight "gut memory” so the agent feels context-aware. 🗺️ Setup Steps 1. Connect WhatsApp Business API (via Meta Developer Console) 2. Add OpenAI and Gmail credentials in n8n 3. Link your Airtable base for contacts and logging 🧩 Best Use Cases - Hands-free email reply while commuting - Fast Gmail access for busy consultants / solopreneurs - Custom business agents for service-based professionals ⏱️ Estimated Setup Time 30–60 minutes ✅ Requirements - WhatsApp Business Cloud access - OpenAI API Key - Gmail or Google Workspace - Airtable account (free plan OK) - n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted with HTTPS)
