Point your website form / ad platform / landing page webhook to the Webhook node URL (POST).\n2. In both HTTP Request nodes, paste your WhatsApp API key (Wati shown; respond.io/AiSensy work the same — swap the URL).\n3. Create a WhatsApp *template message* in your provider dashboard named `lead_instant_reply` and `lead_follow_up_24h`, approve them with Meta.\n4. Connect Google Sheets credentials and pick a spreadsheet.\n\n**Expected payload:** `{ \"name\": \"...\", \"phone\": \"+15551234567\", \"source\": \"website\", \"message\": \"...\" }`\n\nFull version with reply detection, day 1/3/7 cadence, lead scoring and missed-call recovery:\nhttps://stackpick-b8s.pages.dev/templates/\n\nWhich WhatsApp platform to pick (compared with real pricing):\nhttps://stackpick-b8s.pages.dev/vs/wati-vs-respond-io/",
