    await axios.post(ZAPIER_WEBHOOK, {
        phone: messageData.from,
        name: messageData.customerName,
        message: messageData.text,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        type: messageData.type
    });
}

// Setiap ada pesan masuk
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ messages }) => {
    for (const msg of messages) {
        // Send ke Zapier
        await sendToZapier({
            from: msg.key.remoteJid,
            customerName: msg.pushName,
            text: msg.message?.conversation,
            type: 'incoming'
        });
        
        // Continue normal handling...
    }
});

Setup Make (Integromat)

Visual Workflow:

📊 MAKE SCENARIO:

[Webhook] → [Router] → [Branch 1: Order keyword]
                         → [Google Sheets: Log]
                         → [WhatsApp: Send confirmation]
                      → [Branch 2: Complaint keyword]
                         → [Slack: Notify team]
                         → [CRM: Create ticket]
                      → [Branch 3: Default]
                         → [Google Sheets: Log]

Router dengan Filters:

FILTER SETUP:

Branch 1 - Orders:
Condition: {{message}} contains "order" OR
           {{message}} contains "beli" OR
           {{message}} contains "pesan"

Branch 2 - Complaints:
Condition: {{message}} contains "komplain" OR

Cost Optimization

💰 TIPS HEMAT:

1. BATCH OPERATIONS
   Jangan 1 task per message.
   Batch per 5 menit / 10 messages.

2. USE FILTERS
   Filter di awal sebelum action.
   Jangan trigger semua messages.

3. MINIMIZE STEPS
   Gabungkan actions jika bisa.
   Kurangi unnecessary steps.

4. SELF-HOST N8N
   Free unlimited untuk volume tinggi.
   Hanya bayar server (~$5/bulan).

5. HYBRID APPROACH
   Critical: Zapier/Make (reliable)
   High volume: n8n (cost-effective)
