Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp groups via the Wappfy API, specifically allowing users to join a WhatsApp group using an invite link or code. It is useful in automation workflows where you want to programmatically add the connected WhatsApp session to a new group without manual intervention.
Common scenarios:
- Automatically joining a WhatsApp group when receiving an invite link/code from another system.
- Integrating group joining as part of onboarding or community management workflows.
- Automating group membership updates based on external triggers.
Practical example:
You receive a WhatsApp group invite link through an email or webhook, and you want your WhatsApp session to join that group automatically. This node can take the invite link/code as input and perform the join operation seamlessly.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Invite Link/Code | The WhatsApp group invite link or code used to join the group |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Wappfy API after attempting to join the group. This typically includes details about the joined group such as group ID, subject, participants, and status of the join operation.
If multiple items are processed, the output will be an array of such JSON objects, one per input item.
The node does not output binary data for this operation.
Dependencies
Requires a valid connection to the Wappfy API, including:
- Base URL of the Wappfy API service.
- Instance name identifying the WhatsApp session.
- An API key credential for authentication.
The node must be configured with these credentials before use.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid invite code/link: If the invite code is malformed or expired, the API will return an error. Verify the invite code is correct and still valid.
- Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has permissions to perform group operations.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Wappfy API endpoint will cause request failures. Check network access and API availability.
- Session issues: The WhatsApp session identified by the instance name must be active and logged in; otherwise, the join operation will fail.
Error messages returned by the node will include the API's error details. To resolve, verify inputs, credentials, and session status.
