Overview
This node interacts with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, enabling automation of various WhatsApp group management tasks. Specifically, the Group - Delete Picture operation deletes the profile picture of a specified WhatsApp group.
This operation is useful when you want to remove or reset the group's display image programmatically, for example:
- Automatically clearing outdated or inappropriate group pictures.
- Managing group branding by removing images before setting new ones.
- Maintaining privacy by deleting group pictures on demand.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group whose picture you want to delete. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Wappfy API after attempting to delete the group picture. It typically contains confirmation of success or details about any error encountered.
Example output structure (simplified):
{
"success": true,
"message": "Group picture deleted successfully"
}
If an error occurs, the output JSON will contain an error field describing the issue.
