Overview
This node enables interaction with the DinastiAPI WhatsApp API to perform various chat-related operations. Specifically, the "Edit Message" operation allows users to modify the content of a previously sent WhatsApp message by specifying the message ID, the phone number associated with the message, and the new message content.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Correcting typos or errors in sent messages.
- Updating information in a message after sending it.
- Modifying automated messages sent via workflows without needing to resend a new message.
For example, if you sent a message with incorrect details, you can use this node to update that message's text directly on WhatsApp.
