Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, specifically allowing you to retrieve detailed information about a WhatsApp group by its unique Group ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access group metadata such as group name, participants, settings, or other details for automation, monitoring, or integration purposes.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Fetch group details before sending targeted messages.
- Monitor group membership or settings changes.
- Integrate WhatsApp group data into CRM or analytics platforms.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group whose details you want to retrieve. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the group's details as returned by the Wappfy API. This typically includes information such as the group's subject (name), description, participants list, and various group settings.
The output structure is dynamic based on the API response but generally contains all relevant metadata about the specified WhatsApp group.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
Requires an active Wappfy API credential configured in n8n, including:
- Base URL of the Wappfy API instance.
- Instance name identifying the WhatsApp session.
- An API key for authentication.
The node makes HTTP requests to the Wappfy API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Group ID: Ensure the Group ID provided is correct and corresponds to an existing WhatsApp group.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key and instance name credentials are correctly set up and valid.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the Wappfy API base URL is reachable from your n8n environment.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the API will be passed through. For example, "Group not found" indicates the Group ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
- Authentication failures will typically return unauthorized or forbidden errors; check API key validity.
- If the node is set to continue on fail, errors will appear in the output JSON under an
errorfield.
