Overview
This node enables sending a reply message in WhatsApp chats via the Wappfy API. It allows you to respond directly to a specific message within a chat by specifying the original message's ID, making conversations clearer and more contextual.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Customer support workflows where agents need to reply to specific customer messages.
- Automated chatbots that respond to user queries by referencing previous messages.
- Group chat management where replies help maintain conversation threads.
Example: Replying to a customer's question in a support chat by referencing their original message ID, ensuring the response is linked properly.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Chat ID | The unique identifier of the chat where the reply will be sent (e.g., 123456789@c.us for direct or 123456789@g.us for group). |
| Text | The text content of the reply message to send. |
| Reply To Message ID | The ID of the message to which this reply is directed. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Wappfy API after sending the reply message. This typically includes details about the sent message such as its ID, status, timestamp, and any metadata returned by the API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Wappfy API credential with a valid API key and instance name configured in n8n.
- The node communicates with the Wappfy API endpoint specified by the credential's base URL.
- Internet connectivity is required to reach the Wappfy API service.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Chat ID or Message ID: If the chat ID or reply-to message ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the message cannot be found. Verify these IDs carefully.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API key credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly set up in the node credentials.
- API Endpoint Issues: Network issues or incorrect base URL configuration can lead to request failures. Confirm the base URL and network access.
- Message Text Empty: Sending an empty text field will likely result in an error. Always provide non-empty text content.
- Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting on the API side. Implement retries or delays if needed.
