Hey everyone 👋 Building a WhatsApp booking chatbot for barbershops (N8N + Supabase). Each salon gets their own number, all routed to one centralized workflow. Currently using Meta Direct with Partner Shared model, but the onboarding is killing me - barbershop owners need to create Meta Business Manager, navigate WABA setup, grant partner access... and I'm still figuring out the credential management myself (system user tokens vs app tokens, rotation, which exact credentials to use for each client). It's intimidating non-tech clients, takes 3-14 days per salon, and honestly the credential complexity is a headache even on my end. I'm pre-incorporation, trying to validate with my first 5-10 paying clients in the next 2 months. Considering switching to a BSP like Spoki for simpler client onboarding and clearer API credentials on my side. Worried about per-conversation fees, vendor lock-in, and rebuilding N8N integration from scratch though. All my messages are user-initiated responses (free with Meta), so messaging costs aren't the issue - it's the onboarding friction + credential confusion slowing me down right now. Question: Would you eat the BSP costs/complexity for faster initial traction, knowing you might migrate to Meta Direct later? Or push through Meta's learning curve and accept painful onboarding for first clients? Anyone dealt with similar multi-tenant WhatsApp onboarding + credential management challenges? Thanks! 🙏

Hello All, I am trying to complete the n8n Course Level 1, and everything seemed to be going well until I tried to send the data to the discord channel. I am attaching a couple of screenshots, but the discord node says the data is not formatted correctly. I am pretty sure that I followed all steps correctly, but obviously I am missing something. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks

Built a simple workflow that completely removed the need for manual lead tracking and follow-ups. Now, whenever someone fills out a form, their details automatically go into Google Sheets — and they instantly receive a confirmation email. What used to take my client 4–5 hours every week now happens in seconds ⚡ If you’re spending time on repetitive tasks like this, I can help you automate them too — so you can focus on actually growing your business 🚀

"We need more leads." Maybe. But probably not. Most businesses don't have a lead problem. They have a conversion, delivery, or follow-up problem. More leads just expose the cracks faster. Here's the bottleneck test: If you got 10 new customers tomorrow, what would break? Your honest answer reveals where to focus. - "We couldn't schedule them all" → Scheduling system - "We don't have enough techs" → Hiring/training process - "We'd lose track of them" → CRM/project management - "We wouldn't know if we're profitable" → Financial tracking - "Half wouldn't show up" → Confirmation/reminder system More customers amplify existing problems. Fix the constraint first. Then scale. Automation helps you handle growth without breaking things. But only if you automate the right constraint.

I am trying to setup my first workflow that should be pulling from a Google Sheet. However every time I try to get the sheet from a directory. I know the sheet is there, and the permissions are set for the company level. I have tried moving the sheet into the main drive folder, and that didn't work. I have attached all of the screenshots I could think that would help. Let me know if there is more information that is need. Thanks, James
