Overview
This node integrates with the Wappfy API to interact with WhatsApp, specifically providing an operation to get an overview of chats. The "Chat: Overview" operation retrieves summarized information about chats, optionally filtered by specific chat IDs. This is useful for scenarios where you want to monitor or analyze multiple WhatsApp chats at once, such as in customer support dashboards, analytics, or automated workflows that react to chat activity.
For example, you can use this operation to:
- Get a summary of all active chats.
- Filter the overview to only include certain chat IDs relevant to your business.
- Paginate through chat overviews to process large numbers of chats efficiently.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Filter IDs | Comma-separated list of chat IDs to filter the overview results. If empty, no filtering. |
Output
The output is a JSON array containing chat overview objects. Each object represents a chat summary with details provided by the Wappfy API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes chat identifiers, names, last message timestamps, and other metadata summarizing each chat.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to the Wappfy API service.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- Requires the base URL and instance name of the Wappfy API to be set in credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
- Incorrect instance name or base URL configuration may lead to request errors.
- Providing invalid chat IDs in the filter may result in empty or partial results.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly set and valid.
- HTTP request errors: Verify network connectivity and correct API endpoint configuration.
- Parsing errors: Ensure the filter IDs are properly formatted as comma-separated strings without extra spaces.
