Overview
This node integrates with the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API, enabling users to manage WhatsApp messaging operations programmatically within n8n workflows. Specifically, the "Unstar Message" operation under the "Message" resource allows users to remove the star mark from a particular message in either a private chat or a group chat.
Common scenarios for this operation include:
- Automating message organization by un-starring messages that no longer require attention.
- Integrating with other workflow steps to update message statuses based on external triggers or conditions.
- Cleaning up starred messages after processing or archiving.
For example, a user might set up a workflow that automatically unstars messages once they have been processed by another system, ensuring only relevant messages remain starred.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phone Number or Group ID | The phone number (for private chats) or the group ID (for group chats) where the message is located. |
| Message ID | The unique identifier of the message to be unstarred. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the unstar operation. This typically includes 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 has been unstarred.
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 in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API must be set in the node's credential configuration.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Incorrect or missing phone number/group ID or message ID will cause the operation to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API key or token is invalid or expired.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the API endpoint.
Error Messages and Resolutions:
- "Unknown resource" — indicates the resource parameter is incorrect; ensure "message" is selected.
- API authentication errors — verify that the API credentials are correctly configured and valid.
- Message not found — check that the message ID corresponds to an existing message in the specified chat.
- Invalid phone or group ID — confirm the format and correctness of the provided identifier.
