Overview
This node enables sending a text status update on WhatsApp via the Wappfy API. It allows users to post custom text statuses with configurable background color and font style, optionally sharing the status with specific contacts. This is useful for broadcasting announcements, updates, or personal messages as WhatsApp status posts.
Practical examples:
- A business can share promotional messages or offers as a status visible to selected customers.
- An individual can post a motivational quote or daily update with customized appearance.
- Sharing event reminders or alerts selectively by specifying contact IDs.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Status Text | The text content of the status message to be posted. |
| Background Color | The background color of the text status, specified as a hex color code (e.g., #38b42f). |
| Font | The font style number used for the text status display. |
| Contacts | Comma-separated list of contact IDs to share the status with; if empty, status is public. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Wappfy API after sending the status. This typically includes details about the created status message such as its ID and metadata confirming successful posting.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Wappfy API credential configured in n8n, including base URL, instance name, and an API key.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Wappfy API endpoint
/api/{instanceName}/status/textto send the status.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Incorrectly formatted contact IDs may result in the status not being shared properly.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent API calls from succeeding.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credentials configuration.
- Validation errors from the API may occur if required fields like "Status Text" are empty.
- HTTP request failures should be checked for correct base URL and instance name settings.
