I am looking for an experienced AI automation company or freelancer to build a complete AI-powered lead-management and sales-follow-up system for service companies. This is not just a website chatbot. I need a working system that captures enquiries, responds quickly, qualifies prospects, stores their information, assigns follow-up and helps convert enquiries into booked calls or sales opportunities. Required customer journey The system should: 1. Capture new enquiries from: * WhatsApp * Website forms * Website AI chat * Email * Phone calls or missed calls, if technically possible 2. Respond automatically: * Send an immediate first response * Answer common questions using company-approved information * Communicate naturally in English * Ideally support Arabic as an option * Clearly identify when human assistance is needed 3. Qualify the lead by collecting: * Name * Company name * Phone number and email * Required service * Location * Company size or project size * Budget, if appropriate * Required starting date or urgency * Any additional information needed by the client 4. Manage every lead: * Create or update the contact in a CRM * Record the original enquiry source * Save the full conversation * Prevent duplicate contacts * Give each lead a clear status * Assign the lead to the correct employee * Notify the responsible person * Allow a human to take over the conversation 5. Automate follow-up: * Follow up when a prospect does not respond * Remind the responsible salesperson about open leads * Stop automation when a human takes over * Stop messages when the lead replies, books or opts out * Allow follow-up timing and messages to be edited 6. Support appointment booking: * Connect with a calendar or booking platform * Show available meeting times * Confirm the booking automatically * Send reminders * Update the lead’s CRM status after booking 7. Provide a management dashboard showing: * Total enquiries * Lead source * Response time * Qualified and unqualified leads * Leads awaiting follow-up * Booked meetings * Conversion rate * Lost or inactive leads * Performance by channel and date ## Integrations The system should integrate with: * Official WhatsApp Business API * Website forms and chat * Email * A suitable CRM * Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar or a booking platform * Automation software such as n8n, Make or another recommended platform * GA4 or another reporting solution where appropriate I am open to recommendations regarding the best technology, CRM and hosting setup. The system must be reliable, secure and reasonably priced to operate. ## Deliverables The selected provider must deliver: * Complete working system * All automations and integrations * CRM setup * AI knowledge base and instructions * Dashboard and reporting * Human handover process * Error alerts and basic activity logs * Testing of every customer journey * Setup documentation * Recorded training video * Administrator access * Ownership of all accounts, workflows, prompts and source code created for the project * 30 days of post-launch support and bug fixing The system should be designed so it can later be adapted and deployed for other service companies without rebuilding everything from zero. ## Important requirements * Do not apply if you only build basic chatbots. * Experience with WhatsApp Business API is important. * The AI must not invent prices, guarantees or company information. * Customer data must remain separated and secure. * All automated messages must support human takeover and opt-out. * The final product must be tested in a real live environment. ## When applying, please provide: 1.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you're looking to build an AI-powered WhatsApp sales automation system to streamline lead qualification and enhance customer engagement. What usually matters most here is ensuring the system is scalable to handle user interactions without performance issues. A common challenge in systems like this is the complexity of API integrations, especially for real-time communications. The tricky part is often managing user permissions while maintaining a seamless workflow. To approach this, I would focus on creating a robust backend that supports efficient API integration and a clean architecture for future enhancements. I prioritize building systems that are easy to maintain, which is crucial for ongoing updates. I've worked on similar automation projects that required intricate API integrations and user role management, ensuring they functioned reliably under load. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific user roles do you envision for this system? Q2 – Are there particular CRM systems you need to integrate with? Q3 – What are your expectations regarding scaling as the user base grows? Happy to go through the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello!, This is James from Hollywood... I read your WhatsApp Sales Automation System brief carefully, and I understand you’re not after a basic chatbot, but a full A to Z sales automation build. The goal is clear: automate conversations, qualify leads, route them correctly, and make the process actually improve conversions. I have 15+ years of experience in AI automation, CRM, API integration, and workflow systems, so this is a strong fit for me. My approach would be: 1) map the sales flow and lead qualification logic 2) connect WhatsApp, CRM, and backend automation 3) build the AI layer for response handling and routing 4) test everything end to end for reliability I’m very detail-focused, and I know that in projects like this, the smallest missed requirement can break the whole workflow. That’s why I take the time to understand the business goal first, then build around it properly. Relevant work examples: - AI lead qualification and CRM automation for a local service brand - WhatsApp sales/support workflow for a small e-commerce store - Chatbot plus automation flow for a coaching business - API-driven sales dashboard for a SaaS startup Could you please clarify the following questions to help me better understand the project? 1) Do you want WhatsApp Cloud API, Twilio, or another provider? 2) Which CRM should it connect to, and what lead stages should be automated? 3) Should the system only qualify leads, or also book meetings and send follow-ups automatically?

Hi, this is exactly the kind of automation project we handle when a business needs a real lead-management system, not just a front-end chatbot. I can help you build the full flow from WhatsApp, forms, chat, email, and call capture through qualification, CRM updates, follow-up, booking, dashboarding, and human takeover. I’d recommend a modular setup using the official WhatsApp API, n8n or Make, and a CRM that can be reused later for other service businesses as well. I also understand the guardrails you mentioned around approved knowledge, opt-out, secure data separation, and live-environment testing. Happy to outline the proposed stack, inclusions/exclusions, and expected monthly tools cost through here.

The key here is not the chatbot itself, but making WhatsApp, web, email, calls, CRM, follow-up, booking, and human takeover behave as one controlled lead workflow without the AI inventing prices or company facts. I’d build this as a reusable multi-tenant system using n8n for orchestration, Meta WhatsApp Business API, Pipedrive CRM, PostgreSQL for lead/audit state, a grounded AI knowledge layer, and Google/Microsoft Calendar for bookings. My two priorities would be integrations and maintainability, so every channel updates the same lead record and future service companies can be onboarded without rebuilding workflows. That reduces missed leads and manual follow-up. The AI would answer only from approved company content, use structured qualification fields, escalate uncertain questions, and stop automation on reply, booking, takeover, or opt-out. Dashboard metrics would cover source, response time, qualification, follow-up, bookings, conversion, and inactivity. Relevant work includes Kingmovers, where we integrated SmartMoving CRM, RingCentral, CallRail, webhooks, lead routing, notifications, and analytics, plus AI lead-call automations for inbound/outbound follow-up.

This project needs a complete lead-management system, not a basic chatbot, and I can build the full journey from WhatsApp, forms, website AI chat, email and missed-call workflows through qualification, CRM updates, follow-up and booking. My comparable work includes AI lead funnels, CRM automations, conversational agents and API integrations across web and business systems. I recommend WhatsApp Cloud API with n8n for orchestration, HubSpot CRM for contacts, pipelines, ownership and reporting, and Google Calendar or Calendly for appointments. A structured knowledge base will ensure the AI only uses approved company information, supports English with Arabic as an option, detects uncertainty, and hands conversations to a human. I’ll implement source tracking, conversation history, deduplication, lead scoring, employee assignment, opt-out handling and automation stop conditions for replies, bookings or human takeover. The delivery includes CRM setup, reusable workflows, prompts and knowledge base, dashboard metrics, alerts, logs, testing in a live environment, setup documentation, recorded training, administrator ownership and 30 days of post-launch bug support. I’ll also document exclusions and required third-party subscriptions; usage fees for WhatsApp, CRM, automation, AI and booking services would remain client-owned operating costs. Muhammad Saad

I've built WhatsApp lead capture and CRM automation systems with official Business API integration using Twilio WhatsApp API and n8n workflows for similar service companies. The core will run on n8n for automation, HubSpot CRM for lead management, and Whisper API for natural language processing with LangChain for conversation routing. I'll implement WhatsApp Business API via Twilio, capture leads from all channels into HubSpot with custom properties for qualification fields, then route qualified leads to Google Calendar for booking with automated follow-up sequences that respect human takeover signals. The dashboard will use HubSpot reports with custom properties for response time tracking and conversion metrics. Existing systems handle Arabic responses and strict data segregation, with opt-out and human handover built into every automated flow. Testing will cover all customer journeys in staging before live deployment. I can start immediately. Thanks, Andrii

Hi, This is the kind of automation I build: not a chatbot sitting on a website, but an end-to-end lead system where every enquiry becomes a tracked sales workflow. I’d build the core orchestration in n8n with an API/backend layer where needed, official WhatsApp Business messaging, website/email ingestion, CRM synchronization, calendar booking, AI qualification and a controlled knowledge base. The AI would only answer from approved business information, with explicit escalation rules for pricing, guarantees, uncertainty and human takeover. Each lead would have source attribution, deduplication, qualification data, conversation history, owner, status and follow-up state. Automations would immediately stop or change state when the prospect replies, books, opts out or a salesperson takes control. I’d recommend a modular architecture so the same foundation can later be deployed to additional service companies with separate credentials, knowledge bases, prompts and customer data. Included: WhatsApp, web/email lead capture, AI qualification, CRM, booking, follow-ups, human handoff, dashboard, logging/error alerts, English/Arabic-ready architecture, documentation, recorded training and 30 days bug-fix support. Fixed implementation: $2,200 USD Timeline: 24 days Hourly bid: $22 USD Third-party API, WhatsApp, CRM, telephony and hosting charges would remain under your own accounts and be documented before implementation.

Hi, This is exactly the type of system we build at Gensols Technologies. I’m the founder and lead technical consultant, with 9+ years of experience building AI automation, CRM systems, WhatsApp integrations, and scalable SaaS platforms. We can build this as a complete lead-management and sales automation platform—not just a chatbot. Our proposed solution We would build a reusable automation architecture connecting: * Official WhatsApp Business Cloud API * Website forms + AI chat * Email * Phone/missed-call workflows where supported * CRM * n8n/Make for workflow automation * Google/Microsoft Calendar or booking platform * AI-powered qualification and follow-up * Management dashboard + reporting The AI would operate strictly from an approved knowledge base, so it will not invent pricing, services, guarantees, or company information. When human intervention is required, the conversation can be handed over to the appropriate team member and automated follow-ups will stop.

Hello, I can build this as a complete lead-management automation system rather than a basic chatbot, connecting WhatsApp, website, email, CRM, booking, and AI qualification through a scalable workflow layer such as n8n. I’ll design the AI with an approved knowledge base, strict response boundaries, human handover, opt-out handling, lead deduplication, source tracking, and automated follow-ups that stop at the right moment. I’ll also set up the CRM pipeline, booking flow, reporting dashboard, alerts, logs, documentation, training, and 30-day post-launch support. I’d recommend finalizing the CRM and integrations after reviewing your current tools and lead volume so the solution stays reliable while keeping monthly running costs under control.

Your requirement for a comprehensive WhatsApp sales automation system, moving beyond basic chatbots to a full lead management and conversion engine, strongly resonates with my recent project building a similar multi-channel inquiry capture and qualification platform for a SaaS provider. We integrated various inbound streams, including website forms and email, to feed a centralized CRM and trigger automated follow-up sequences, significantly improving their lead velocity. My approach would involve leveraging a robust backend architecture using Python with frameworks like FastAPI for API development. For WhatsApp integration, I'd utilize the Twilio API or the official WhatsApp Business API, depending on your scale and requirements, to manage message flow. Prospect qualification would be driven by a custom-trained NLP model, potentially fine-tuned from models like BERT or GPT, to analyze incoming messages and extract key information. Data storage would be managed via PostgreSQL, ensuring secure and scalable storage of leads and interaction history. A task management system, possibly integrated with your existing CRM or built from scratch, would handle follow-up assignments. To ensure this system perfectly aligns with your service company's needs, could you elaborate on the typical qualification criteria you use to assess a lead's readiness for a sales call? Additionally, what existing CRM or sales tools are you currently using, if any, that this system should integrate with? I'm confident we can build a highly effective solution. Let's schedule a brief call to discuss the specifics.
