Overview
This node interacts with WhatsApp groups via the Wappfy API, specifically supporting the operation to retrieve a group's picture. It fetches the current image associated with a specified WhatsApp group, optionally refreshing it from the server.
Use cases include:
- Displaying or processing the profile picture of a WhatsApp group in automation workflows.
- Keeping group images up-to-date by forcing a refresh from the server.
- Integrating group pictures into reports, notifications, or other communication channels.
Example: Automatically retrieving and saving the latest group picture for a team chat to use in an internal dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group whose picture you want to retrieve. |
| Refresh | Boolean flag indicating whether to force refresh the group picture from the server (true) or use cached data (false). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the group's picture information as returned by the Wappfy API. This typically includes metadata about the image and possibly a URL or base64 data for the picture itself.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of such JSON objects, each corresponding to one input item.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid Wappfy API credential with access to the WhatsApp instance.
- The node uses the Wappfy API endpoint configured via credentials, including base URL and instance name.
- Network connectivity to the Wappfy API service is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group ID: If the provided Group ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return an error. Verify the Group ID format and correctness.
- API Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Wappfy API will cause request failures; check network and firewall settings.
- Refresh Flag Misuse: Setting refresh to true forces fetching fresh data but may increase latency; use only when necessary.
Common error messages come directly from the API and usually indicate issues like unauthorized access, resource not found, or invalid parameters. Review the error message details to resolve.
