Use cases

How travel businesses use auton8n

From the first enquiry to the post-trip review, every step can happen on WhatsApp.

Instant package enquiries

A chatbot asks for destination, dates, number of travellers and budget, then saves the lead for your team.

Itineraries and brochures

Send PDF itineraries, hotel photos and videos in the chat instead of long email threads.

Advance and balance payments

Share payment links for the booking amount and send polite reminders before the balance is due.

Booking confirmations

Send confirmations and vouchers with the traveller's details using approved message templates.

Trip-day updates

Share pickup times, driver details and last-minute changes with every traveller at once.

Reviews and repeat trips

Ask for feedback after the trip and send festive and seasonal offers to travellers who opted in.

Sample flow

A holiday enquiry, start to finish

What a Click-to-WhatsApp ad or website enquiry can look like in the flow builder.

The bot welcomes the traveller and offers buttons: Holiday packages, Flights & hotels, Talk to an agent.

2. Trip details form

A WhatsApp form asks destination, travel month, number of adults and children, and budget range.

3. Tag and assign

The lead is tagged (for example goa, family, dec) and assigned to the agent who handles that destination.

The agent sends a PDF itinerary and price from the shared inbox, with a payment link for the advance.

5. Follow-up

If there is no reply in two days, a follow-up template asks whether they need changes to the plan.
