Nilyo LinkedIn Alerts: Send WhatsApp on New Messages (n8n)

Instant WhatsApp alerts for every new LinkedIn message (via Nilyo in n8n)

Never miss an important LinkedIn conversation. Nilyo LinkedIn Alerts: Send WhatsApp on New Messages (n8n) automatically listens for new inbound LinkedIn messages and sends you a WhatsApp notification containing the sender, the latest message, and a short preview of the surrounding thread context.

What this workflow does

• Triggers on new LinkedIn messages when Nilyo receives a message.new event from your LinkedIn inbox.
• Prepares the WhatsApp alert by setting the recipient/chat name and the number of recent thread messages to include (configurable in the workflow Settings).
• Filters unwanted events by excluding messages you sent yourself, system events, and empty messages.
• Fetches conversation context using Nilyo to read the latest messages from the LinkedIn conversation referenced by the event.
• Builds a single thread preview by aggregating the retrieved messages into one context block.
• Sends the WhatsApp alert to your configured contact with the sender, the latest message, and a short preview of earlier messages.

Use cases

• SaaS operators who want immediate awareness of inbound LinkedIn leads without constantly checking LinkedIn.
• Automation engineers validating message-driven workflows with conversation context and clean filtering.
• Sales & partnerships teams using WhatsApp as the fast “inbox” for new LinkedIn outreach.
