Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp channels via the Wappfy API. Specifically, the "Channel" resource with the "Get" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific WhatsApp channel by its unique Channel ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching metadata or details of a particular WhatsApp channel for monitoring or reporting.
- Integrating channel data into workflows that require channel-specific information.
- Automating management tasks that depend on channel attributes.
Practical example:
- A user wants to get the description, name, and other details of a WhatsApp channel identified by its Channel ID to display in a dashboard or trigger further actions based on channel properties.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp channel to retrieve information for. This is required to specify which channel's details to fetch. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the retrieved channel's details as returned by the Wappfy API. This typically includes all available metadata about the channel such as its name, description, creation date, and possibly other attributes defined by the API.
If multiple items were returned (not typical for a single "get" operation), each would be an individual JSON object in the output array.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Wappfy API credential with a valid API key and instance name configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Wappfy API base URL using these credentials.
- Proper network connectivity to the Wappfy API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Channel ID: If the provided Channel ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the Channel ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API key or instance name will cause authentication failures. Ensure credentials are correctly set up.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Wappfy API endpoint can cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might be throttled by the API. Review API usage limits and adjust workflow frequency accordingly.
- Error Messages: The node returns error messages from the API in the output JSON under an
errorfield ifcontinueOnFailis enabled. Otherwise, it throws an error stopping execution.
