Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, providing a wide range of operations on various WhatsApp resources such as sessions, messages, chats, contacts, groups, statuses, channels, profiles, polls, LIDs, and files. Specifically, for the Chat resource with the Delete operation, the node deletes a specified chat by its ID.
Use cases include automating WhatsApp management tasks like removing unwanted or obsolete chats programmatically within workflows. For example, you might use this node to clean up chats after a customer support session ends or to remove spam chats automatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Chat ID | The unique identifier of the chat to delete (e.g., 123456789@c.us for direct chats or 123456789@g.us for group chats). This is required to specify which chat to delete. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Wappfy API after attempting to delete the chat. Typically, this will be an object indicating success or failure of the deletion request. If multiple items are processed, each item's response is returned in an array of JSON objects.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Example output structure:
{
"success": true,
"message": "Chat deleted successfully"
}
or in case of error:
{
"error": "Chat not found or already deleted"
}
