Overview
This node enables interaction with WhatsApp through the Wappfy API, providing a wide range of operations across various WhatsApp resources such as sessions, messages, chats, contacts, groups, statuses, channels, polls, profiles, linked IDs, and files. Specifically, for the Group resource with the Join operation, it allows users to join a WhatsApp group using an invite link or code.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating WhatsApp group management, sending messages, managing contacts, and integrating WhatsApp communication into workflows. For example, you can automatically join a group when receiving an invite link from another system, or manage group participants programmatically.
Practical example for the Group Join operation:
- Automatically join a WhatsApp group by providing the invite link/code received from an external source, enabling seamless integration of new group memberships into your automation workflows.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Wappfy API for the requested operation. For the Group Join operation, the output JSON typically contains information about the result of the join request, such as confirmation of successful joining or error details if the join failed.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item.
The node does not output binary data for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Wappfy API.
- Requires configuration of credentials that provide:
- Base URL of the Wappfy API.
- Instance name (session identifier).
- An API key credential for authentication.
- The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Wappfy API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or expired invite code/link: If the invite code provided is invalid or expired, the API will return an error. Ensure the invite code is correct and still valid.
- Authentication errors: If the API key or instance name is incorrect or missing, requests will fail. Verify that credentials are correctly configured.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Wappfy API endpoint can cause failures. Check network access and API availability.
- API rate limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
- Error messages: The node returns error details in the output JSON if
continueOnFailis enabled; otherwise, it throws an error stopping execution. Review error messages for troubleshooting.
