Overview
This node operation, Get Message Mentions, retrieves the list of users or entities mentioned within a specific message. It is useful in scenarios where you want to analyze or respond to mentions in chat messages, such as automating replies to tagged users, extracting mention data for analytics, or triggering workflows based on who was mentioned in a conversation.
For example, in a customer support chatbot, this operation can help identify which team member was mentioned in a customer's message to route the query accordingly.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI service.
- The node communicates with the WaAPI REST API endpoint at
https://waapi.app/api/v1. - Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Message Id: Ensure that the "Message Id" property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing message in the system.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Network or API errors: Check network connectivity and the status of the WaAPI service.
- Empty mentions result: If no mentions are found, confirm that the message actually contains mentions and that the correct message ID was used.
