Save every new message received on WhatsApp (via Whapi) to Google Sheets

Stop copying, pasting, and missing key info! Let every new WhatsApp message organize itself into Google Sheets, just how you want it.

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when receiving a text message (whapi → webhook_message)
  • Add a new row at the end of a sheet (gspreadsheet → add_row_to_end)

Manually sorting through every WhatsApp message and copying its details into a Google Sheet isn’t just tedious—it’s a massive drain on your time and a constant source of error. When messages arrive day and night, missing even a single item can mean lost leads, delayed support follow-ups, or incomplete records that undermine your decision-making. Without automation, you risk poor team coordination, missed opportunities, and chaotic reporting that could impact your business growth and reputation.

This formula from Botize connects your WhatsApp account (via Whapi) directly to Google Sheets, capturing every incoming message and logging important details—chat ID, sender’s number and name, message ID, timestamp, and the message itself—instantly in a sheet you define. Everything happens in real time with no manual work or risk of missing vital info. Plus, you control exactly what data is stored and can adjust how often data is synced, or set specific filters to match your business workflow. Suddenly, every message is organized, traceable, and ready for analysis or follow-up.
