Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp via the Wappfy API, providing a wide range of messaging and chat management capabilities. Specifically, the Message - Mark as Read operation allows users to mark a particular message in a chat as read (seen). This is useful for automating message status updates, ensuring that messages are acknowledged programmatically without manual intervention.
Practical scenarios include:
- Automatically marking incoming messages as read after processing them.
- Synchronizing message read status across multiple systems or workflows.
- Managing customer support chats by marking messages as seen once handled.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Chat ID | The unique identifier of the chat where the message resides. Format examples: 123456789@c.us (direct), 123456789@g.us (group). |
| Message ID | The unique identifier of the specific message to mark as read. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Wappfy API after marking the message as read. This typically includes confirmation details about the operation's success or failure.
If multiple input items are processed, the output is an array of JSON objects corresponding to each item.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
Requires a valid Wappfy API credential configured in n8n, including:
- Base URL of the Wappfy API instance.
- Instance name identifier.
- An API key for authentication.
The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Wappfy API endpoint
/api/sendSeento perform the "mark as read" action.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Chat ID or Message ID will cause the API call to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API communication.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys or misconfigured credentials.
- "Message not found" or similar errors suggest the provided Message ID does not exist in the specified chat.
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors may occur if too many requests are sent in a short time.
Resolutions:
- Verify that Chat ID and Message ID are correct and correspond to existing entities.
- Ensure API credentials are correctly set up and have necessary permissions.
- Check network access and firewall settings.
- Implement error handling in workflows to manage API rate limits gracefully.
