- Architecture, Interior Design & Allied Businesses — Marketing Automation & CRM
Background
Architecture studios, interior designers and allied businesses depend heavily on lead generation, digital marketing, social media and follow-up.
However, many small and medium businesses still manually manage lead extraction and verification over email and WhatsApp, drip conversations, follow-ups and engagement, campaign responses, lead qualification, customer routing and marketing measurement.
Meta platforms provide APIs and advertising infrastructure that can enable automated marketing workflows.
Problem
A potential customer may interact with a business through:
Without automation, businesses may lose leads because responses and follow-ups are delayed or inconsistent.
Expected solution
Participants should develop an intelligent Marketing Workflow Automation System using Meta ecosystem capabilities where appropriate.
Lead Capture
Capture leads from marketing campaigns or digital channels.
Lead Qualification
Determine whether a lead meets predefined criteria.
Email & WhatsApp Automation Workflows
Automate relevant conversations or follow-ups.
Lead Routing
Send qualified leads to the appropriate person / team.
Follow-up & Engagement Automation
Trigger follow-ups based on lead status.
Campaign Tracking
Track campaign-to-lead performance.
CRM Integration
Maintain lead / customer information.
Analytics
Show basic marketing funnel performance.
Illustrative flow
Meta Advertisement → Potential Customer → Staged & conditional email and WhatsApp conversation
→ Lead Capture → AI / rule-based qualification → Qualified Lead
→ CRM → Sales / studio team → Automated follow-up → Conversion
Key requirements
The prototype should demonstrate:
- Lead capture
- Lead information storage
- Lead qualification
- At least one automated workflow
- WhatsApp or Meta integration / mock integration
- Follow-up mechanism
- Basic campaign / lead analytics
Actual API integration may be demonstrated where feasible; a functional simulated integration may be acceptable for prototyping.
Expected outcome
A system demonstrating how a small business can move through this with significantly less manual intervention.
