Overview
This node allows you to interact with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API. Specifically, for the Profile resource and Update Name operation, it updates the WhatsApp profile name associated with the connected session. This is useful when you want to programmatically change the display name of your WhatsApp profile, for example, to reflect a new brand name or personal identity without manually updating it in the app.
Practical scenarios include:
- Automatically updating the profile name based on external triggers or workflows.
- Synchronizing profile names across multiple WhatsApp sessions managed via Wappfy.
- Integrating profile management into broader customer engagement or CRM automation.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Profile Name | New profile name to set for the WhatsApp profile. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Wappfy API after attempting to update the profile name. The structure depends on the API but typically includes confirmation of the update or error details if the operation failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
Requires an active Wappfy API connection configured with:
- Base URL of the Wappfy API.
- Instance name identifying the WhatsApp session.
- An API key credential for authentication.
The node sends an HTTP PUT request to the endpoint
/api/{instanceName}/profile/namewith the new profile name in the request body.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
- Incorrect instance name or session not active may result in errors indicating the session was not found.
- Providing an empty or invalid profile name will likely cause the API to reject the request.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly set up.
- "Session not found" or similar: Verify the instance name corresponds to an active WhatsApp session.
- Validation errors from the API about the profile name: Ensure the name meets any length or character requirements imposed by WhatsApp/Wappfy.
