Overview
This node integrates with the Wappfy API to manage WhatsApp groups and their participants. Specifically, the "Add Participant" operation allows you to add a new participant (by phone number or ID) to an existing WhatsApp group.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating group management by programmatically adding users to WhatsApp groups.
- Integrating WhatsApp group updates into broader workflows, such as onboarding new team members or customers.
- Managing community or event groups dynamically based on external triggers.
For example, after registering a new user in your system, you could automatically add them to a relevant WhatsApp group using this node.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group to which the participant will be added. |
| Participant ID | The phone number or WhatsApp ID of the participant to add to the group. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Wappfy API after attempting to add the participant. This typically includes confirmation details about the updated group or participant status.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid Wappfy API credential with an API key and instance name configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Wappfy API endpoints.
- Network access to the Wappfy API base URL is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Group ID or Participant ID parameters.
- API authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API keys.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Wappfy API.
- Attempting to add a participant who is already in the group may cause errors.
Error messages:
- Errors from the API will be returned in the node's output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
- Typical error messages might include "Group not found", "Participant ID invalid", or "Unauthorized".
Resolutions:
- Verify that the Group ID and Participant ID are correct and properly formatted.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
- Handle errors gracefully in your workflow by enabling "Continue On Fail" if needed.
