Hey everyone ๐
My name is Alessandro, and Iโm currently working on a project for my father โ heโs a taxi driver based in Naples, Italy ๐ฎ๐น.
Hereโs what Iโm doing right now:
๐ I have an Excel file from the Italian government listing about 9,000 hospitality businesses (B&Bs, guesthouses, hotels, etc.) in Naples.
๐ฌ Every day, I manually contact 50 new properties on WhatsApp.
๐ The process: copy the business name from Excel โ search it on Google Maps โ find the phone number โ send a message on WhatsApp.
This job takes me around 2 hours a day โ all manual, no automation yet.
๐ฏ Goal: reach every hospitality business in Naples and offer my fatherโs transfer service (airport rides, tours, etc.).
Now Iโd love to automate or semi-automate this process to save time and stay consistent.
My question:
๐ Whatโs the best way to automate or speed up sending personalized WhatsApp messages at scale (while avoiding bans)?
๐ Are there any AI tools, WhatsApp APIs, or workflows (like n8n, Make, etc.) that could help with this kind of outreach?
Iโm open to simple or low-cost solutions โ I donโt code.
Right now I just want to make my workflow faster and more efficient โก
If someone here offers this type of automation setup, Iโm also willing to pay for the service โ feel free to send me a quote ๐ธ
Thanks in advance for any ideas, tools, or examples you can share ๐
