Overview
This node interacts with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, enabling various operations related to WhatsApp chats. Specifically, the Chat - Overview operation retrieves an overview summary of chats associated with the connected WhatsApp session. It can optionally filter the overview by specific chat IDs.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Getting a summarized snapshot of all or selected WhatsApp chats for monitoring or reporting.
- Filtering chats to focus on particular conversations by their IDs.
- Integrating WhatsApp chat data into workflows for analytics, customer support dashboards, or automated processing.
Example use case:
- A customer support system uses this node to fetch an overview of active chats filtered by certain chat IDs to prioritize responses.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Filter IDs | Comma-separated list of chat IDs to filter the overview results. If empty, no filtering. |
Output
The output is a JSON object (or array of objects) representing the overview data of chats retrieved from the Wappfy API. The structure typically includes metadata and summary information about each chat, such as chat ID, name, last message timestamp, unread counts, etc., depending on the API response.
If multiple items are returned, they are output as an array of JSON objects, each corresponding to one chat overview entry.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to the Wappfy API via an API key credential.
- The node expects configuration of the Wappfy API base URL and instance name in the credentials.
- Network access to the Wappfy API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Empty or missing overview data: Ensure the API key and instance name credentials are correctly configured and valid.
- Filtering by chat IDs not working: Verify that the provided chat IDs are correct and exist in the WhatsApp session.
- API request failures: Check network connectivity and that the Wappfy API service is operational.
- Error messages from the node: Usually indicate issues with authentication, invalid parameters, or API errors. Review the error message details and verify input properties and credentials.
