Interact with Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API

Actions23

Overview

This node integrates with the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API, enabling various messaging-related operations. Specifically, the "Star Message" operation under the "Message" resource allows users to mark a particular message as starred in either a private chat or a group chat. This is useful for highlighting important messages for quick reference later.

Practical examples include:

  • Marking an important announcement in a group chat.
  • Starring a private message containing critical information like an address or phone number.
  • Organizing messages by starring those that require follow-up.

Properties

Name Meaning
Phone Number or Group ID The target chat identifier: either a phone number for private chats or a Group ID for group chats.
Message ID The unique identifier of the message to star.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the "Star Message" operation. Typically, this will include confirmation details such as success status or updated message metadata. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms that the specified message was successfully starred.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API.
  • The node configuration must include the base URL of the API host.
  • Network connectivity to the API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing phone number/group ID or message ID can cause errors.
    • Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
    • Network timeouts or unreachable API host.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unknown resource": Indicates the resource parameter is invalid; ensure "message" is selected.
    • Errors related to message not found: Verify the message ID and chat identifier are correct.
    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is properly configured and valid.
    • If the node returns an error JSON object, enable "Continue On Fail" to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
