Wappfy

Overview

This node enables interaction with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, providing a wide range of operations on various WhatsApp resources. Specifically for the Channel resource with the Delete operation, it allows users to delete a WhatsApp channel by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where a channel is no longer needed or must be removed for management or compliance reasons.

Practical example: If you manage multiple WhatsApp channels for different topics or communities and want to programmatically remove a specific channel that is obsolete or inactive, this node operation facilitates that deletion via the Wappfy API.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Wappfy API after attempting to delete the specified channel. Typically, this will include confirmation of deletion or an error message if the operation failed.

Example output structure:

{
  "json": {
    // API response confirming deletion or error details
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active Wappfy API credential with a valid API key and instance name.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the Wappfy API base URL configured in the credentials.
• Proper permissions on the Wappfy account to delete channels are necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Channel ID: Ensure the Channel ID provided is correct and exists.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key and instance name credentials are correctly set up.
  • Permission denied: The API user might lack rights to delete the channel.
  • Network or API endpoint errors: Check connectivity and that the Wappfy API service is operational.

• Error messages:

  • "error": "Channel not found": The Channel ID does not exist; verify the ID.
  • "error": "Unauthorized" or "Invalid API key": Credential issues; recheck API key and instance name.
  • HTTP 4xx or 5xx errors: Refer to Wappfy API documentation or support for specific error codes.
