Overview
This node allows users to interact with WhatsApp groups via the Wappfy API. Specifically, the "Promote Admin" operation promotes a participant in a WhatsApp group to an admin role. This is useful for managing group permissions dynamically, such as elevating trusted members to help moderate or manage the group.
Practical examples:
- Automatically promote a user to admin when they join a group.
- Promote multiple participants to admins based on certain criteria or external triggers.
- Manage group roles programmatically within automated workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group where the participant will be promoted. |
| Participant ID | The phone number or WhatsApp ID of the participant to be promoted to admin in the group. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Wappfy API after attempting to promote the participant to admin. It typically includes details about the success or failure of the operation and any relevant metadata returned by the API.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of such JSON objects, one per input item.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid Wappfy API credential with an API key and instance name configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Wappfy API endpoints.
- Network connectivity to the Wappfy API base URL is required.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Group ID or Participant ID parameters.
- Insufficient permissions or invalid API key causing authorization errors.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Wappfy API.
- Trying to promote a participant who is not part of the group.
Common error messages:
"Unauthorized"or"Invalid API key": Check that the API key credential is correctly set up."Group not found": Verify the Group ID is correct and the group exists."Participant not found": Confirm the participant is a member of the group."Cannot promote participant": The participant may already be an admin or there may be restrictions.
Resolution tips:
- Double-check all input parameters for correctness.
- Ensure the API credentials have proper permissions.
- Test connectivity to the Wappfy API endpoint outside n8n if needed.
- Review Wappfy API documentation for specific error codes and meanings.
