Overview
This node interacts with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, enabling automation of various WhatsApp group management tasks. Specifically, the "Group - Demote Admin" operation allows you to demote a group participant from an admin role back to a regular participant. This is useful in scenarios where group administration privileges need to be revoked for certain members without removing them from the group.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically demoting admins who no longer require elevated permissions.
- Managing group roles dynamically based on external triggers or workflows.
- Maintaining group security by controlling admin privileges programmatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group where the admin demotion will occur. |
| Participant ID | The phone number or WhatsApp ID of the participant to be demoted from admin status. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Wappfy API after attempting to demote the specified admin. The structure typically contains details about the success or failure of the operation, such as confirmation of the demotion or error messages.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Wappfy API service.
- Requires configuration of an API key credential for authentication with the Wappfy API.
- The node uses the base URL and instance name from the credentials to construct API requests.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Group ID or Participant ID can cause the API call to fail.
- Insufficient permissions or incorrect API key may result in authorization errors.
- Attempting to demote a participant who is not currently an admin may return an error or no effect.
Error messages:
- Errors from the API are passed through in the JSON output under an
errorfield if "Continue On Fail" is enabled. - Typical error messages might include "Participant not found," "Not an admin," or "Unauthorized."
- Errors from the API are passed through in the JSON output under an
Resolution tips:
- Verify that the Group ID and Participant ID are correct and correspond to existing entities.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Check that the participant is currently an admin before attempting demotion.
