Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, specifically allowing you to retrieve detailed information about a WhatsApp group by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access group metadata such as subject, description, participants, or settings for automation, monitoring, or integration purposes.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Fetch group details before sending targeted messages.
- Audit group membership or settings in bulk.
- Integrate WhatsApp group data into CRM or reporting tools.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group whose details you want to retrieve. This is required to specify which group to get information from. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Wappfy API for the specified group. This typically includes comprehensive group details such as:
- Group subject/name
- Description
- Participants list
- Group picture URL
- Security and admin settings
- Other metadata related to the group
The output is structured as a JSON object under the json field of the output item.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Wappfy API instance with valid credentials (API key and instance name).
- The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Wappfy API endpoints.
- Proper configuration of the Wappfy API credentials in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group ID: If the provided Group ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Ensure the Group ID is correct and properly encoded.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API key or instance name will cause authentication failures. Verify that the credentials are correctly set up.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the Wappfy API endpoint can cause request failures. Check network access and API availability.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
- Error Handling: If the node is configured to continue on failure, errors will be returned in the output JSON under an
errorproperty for each failed item.
