How this automation works

Stay updated instantly when a new contact is added to your iPhone. This Applet sends a WhatsApp message from the InOut Bot with the contact details as soon as a contact is saved in iOS Contacts. Great for syncing contact alerts or keeping a shared WhatsApp group informed—customize the message to fit your tone.
