Save WhatsApp messages to Google Sheets and send a confirmation reply
Every WhatsApp message you receive is auto-saved in Google Sheets, and your senders get instant confirmation. Less chaos, more clarity.
Manually tracking WhatsApp messages, copying each one into a spreadsheet, and sending a confirmation reply eats up your most productive hours and leaves far too much room for mistakes. Important leads or customer requests can easily slip through the cracks if youâre interrupted or simply forget to log a message. Not automating this process means lost time, miscommunication, and missed opportunities to impress clients with your response time and attention to detail.
This Botize formula eliminates the tedious copy-paste routine by instantly detecting every incoming WhatsApp message, logging it neatly into your chosen Google Sheets document (with columns for sender, time, message, and more), and firing off a personalized confirmation replyâall in the exact moment it happens. You simply point it to your spreadsheet, set your reply message, and the rest takes care of itself. Youâll never miss a single message, always have up-to-date records, and can tailor the frequency or filtering to match your workflow.
Ready to go from overwhelm to organized? Follow the easy step-by-step with Botize, or use the ready-made formula to automate it all in minutes. Control your notifications, customize your responses, and finally stay a step ahead on every WhatsApp conversation. Letâs get your chat workflow upgraded!

This automation monitors incoming WhatsApp messages and reacts every time a new message is received. Each message is automatically saved in a Google Sheets spreadsheet and then a confirmation reply is sent back to the sender. To make it work correctly, you need to provide the URL of the Google Sheets file where each message will be stored and define the confirmation message that will be sent to the user.
