Interact with SteveChat API for WhatsApp messaging

Actions26

Overview

The node "SteveChat" enables interaction with the SteveChat API to send WhatsApp messages. Specifically, for the Message resource and Send Sticker operation, it allows sending a sticker image to a specified WhatsApp chat by providing the chat ID and a media URL pointing to the sticker file.

This node is useful in scenarios where automated WhatsApp messaging is needed, such as customer support bots, marketing campaigns, or notification systems that require sending stickers as part of the communication.

Example use case: Automatically sending a thank-you sticker to customers after they complete a purchase.

Properties

Name Meaning
Chat ID The identifier of the WhatsApp chat to which the sticker will be sent. Format example: 5511999999999@s.whatsapp.net. This specifies the recipient.
Media URL The URL of the sticker media file to send. Must be a direct link to the sticker image accessible via HTTP/HTTPS.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the SteveChat API after attempting to send the sticker. The exact structure depends on the API but typically includes confirmation of message delivery or error details.

If an error occurs during execution, the output JSON contains an error field with the error message.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the SteveChat API.
  • Requires configuration of an API authentication credential (an API key or token) within n8n to authorize requests to SteveChat.
  • Internet access to fetch the media file from the provided Media URL.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or incorrectly formatted Chat ID can cause message sending failure.
    • Media URL must be publicly accessible; private or inaccessible URLs will cause errors.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent reaching the SteveChat API or media URL.
    • Missing or invalid API credentials will result in authentication errors.

  • Error messages:

    • "The resource \"message\" is not supported!" — indicates the resource parameter is incorrect or unsupported.
    • "The operation \"sendSticker\" is not supported for resource \"message\"!" — indicates the operation parameter is invalid for the selected resource.
    • Errors returned from the API are passed through in the error field of the output JSON; check these messages for specific causes.

To resolve errors, verify input parameters, ensure valid credentials, and confirm media URL accessibility.
