Interact with Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API

Overview

This node integrates with the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API to manage WhatsApp groups. Specifically, the "Remove Participant" operation under the "Group" resource allows users to remove one or more participants from a specified WhatsApp group by their phone numbers.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Moderating group membership by removing inactive or unwanted participants.
  • Automating group management tasks in customer support or community engagement workflows.
  • Maintaining group privacy and security by controlling participant access.

For example, a user can input a Group ID and a list of participant phone numbers to automatically remove those participants from the group without manual intervention in WhatsApp.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group ID The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group from which participants will be removed.
Participant Phone Comma-separated phone numbers of the participant(s) to remove from the group.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the remove participant operation. This typically includes confirmation of successful removal or details about any errors encountered during the process.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured as credentials within n8n.
  • The base URL for the API must be set in the node's credential configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Group ID may cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrectly formatted or non-existent participant phone numbers will prevent removal.
    • Network or authentication errors if API credentials are incorrect or expired.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to unknown resources or operations indicate misconfiguration of the Resource or Operation parameters.
    • API response errors often include messages about invalid group or participant identifiers; verify inputs accordingly.
    • If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the required API key/token is properly set up in n8n.
