Objective Illustration

Key Features of the WhatsApp Crypto Bot

  • ✅ Real-Time Crypto Price Updates via CoinGecko API

  • ✅ Auto-Triggering Alerts with scheduled execution

Bot Features

How the Automation Works

1️⃣ User Sends WhatsApp Message (Trigger)

  • The automation listens for incoming WhatsApp messages via a Webhook (Twilio API).
  • An AI-powered text parser (HrFlow.ai) detects user intent.
  • A router directs the message to the appropriate action.

Example:

  • User: “Set BTC alert at $50,000”
  • Bot: “✅ Alert set for BTC at $50,000. I’ll notify you when it hits this price.”

2️⃣ Storing & Managing Alerts

  • New alerts are stored in Make.com’s Data Store.
  • The system confirms the alert via Twilio message.
  • Users can update or delete alerts, and changes are reflected in real-time.

Example:

  • User: “Update BTC alert to $48,000”
  • Bot: “🔄 Alert updated! I’ll notify you when BTC reaches $48,000.”

3️⃣ Fetching Live Crypto Data & Whale Transactions

  • The automation pulls real-time crypto prices via CoinGecko API.
  • Whale transactions are tracked using the Whale Alert API.
  • Users receive instant alerts for market trends and whale movements.

Example:

  • User: “BTC update”
  • Bot:
    • 📌 BTC Price: $49,500
    • 📈 24h Change: +2.3%
    • 🐋 Whale Alert: 800 BTC moved to Binance

4️⃣ Auto-Triggering Alerts

A scheduled scenario runs every 5 minutes to:

  • Check if BTC, ETH, or SOL have hit user-defined alert levels.
  • Detect whale transactions exceeding $1M.
  • Send automatic WhatsApp alerts if conditions are met.

Example: (Scheduled check – BTC crosses $50,000 alert)

  • Bot: “🚀 BTC has hit $50,000! Time to act! 💰”

Result: ✅ Early warning for possible market volatility
✅ Improved decision-making before price swings

📌 Case Study 3: Long-Term Investor Tracking Market Trends

Problem: A long-term investor needs key market insights without daily trading noise.
