Free n8n Templates — Import-Ready Automation Workflows
Import-ready n8n workflows for the most expensive problem in any local business: leads nobody answered. These aren't demo flows built for screenshots — they're the patterns running in production at a real car dealership (the full story: car dealership AI stack).
Each template is a standard n8n JSON: download, import, connect your credentials, done. They work on n8n's free self-hosted Community Edition or n8n Cloud.
Free templates
1. WhatsApp Lead Follow-Up
Answers every new lead on WhatsApp in under 60 seconds — any hour, any day — logs it to a sheet, and sends one polite follow-up after 24h.
- Webhook intake from any source (website form, ads, landing page)
- Instant WhatsApp template message via Wati / respond.io / AiSensy
- Google Sheets logging with timestamps
- Setup: ~10 minutes, no code

2. Missed Call → WhatsApp Recovery
Every call that rings out becomes a WhatsApp conversation within seconds — and gets logged, so you finally see how many calls you were losing.
- Works with Twilio, CallRail, JustCall, 3CX or any phone system with a no-answer webhook
- Instant "sorry we missed you" WhatsApp template message
- Missed-call volume logging (most owners are shocked by this number)
- Setup: ~10 minutes

The paid pack
Dealership Lead Recovery Pack — $49
Everything above plus the full production machine:
- Reply-aware cadence: day 1 / day 3 / day 7 follow-ups that stop the instant the lead answers
- Lead scoring: hot / warm / cold by source and vehicle interest, logged automatically
- Vehicle-interest capture: different first message when the buyer names a car
- Setup guide + WhatsApp template copy ready to paste into Meta approval
- Free updates when n8n ships breaking changes
Built for dealerships; works for any business where leads name a product ("is the 2022 Corolla still available?" is the same question as "do you have this sofa in grey?").
