Overview
This node, named "SteveChat," is designed to interact with the SteveChat API for WhatsApp messaging. It supports multiple resources and operations, including managing sessions such as setting a proxy configuration. The "Set Proxy" operation under the "Session" resource allows users to configure a proxy server through which the API requests will be routed. This is useful in scenarios where network restrictions or privacy requirements mandate routing traffic via a proxy.
Practical examples include:
- Routing WhatsApp messaging API calls through a corporate proxy.
- Using authenticated proxies to secure communication.
- Configuring different proxies dynamically based on workflow logic.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Proxy Host | The hostname or IP address of the proxy server to route requests through. |
| Proxy Port | The port number on which the proxy server listens. |
| Proxy Username | (Optional) Username for authenticating with the proxy server. |
| Proxy Password | (Optional) Password for authenticating with the proxy server. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item contains the result of the executed operation. For the "Set Proxy" operation, the output JSON typically includes confirmation or status information returned by the underlying API call that sets the proxy configuration.
If an error occurs during execution for any item, the output JSON for that item will contain an error field with the error message.
No binary data output is indicated in the provided code.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the SteveChat API.
- Depends on the external SteveChat API service for WhatsApp messaging.
- No additional environment variables or n8n configurations are explicitly required beyond standard API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Incorrect proxy host or port leading to connection failures.
- Authentication errors if proxy username/password are incorrect.
- Unsupported resource or operation names causing node errors.
- Error messages:
"The resource \"session\" is not supported!"— indicates the resource name is invalid or misspelled."The operation \"setProxy\" is not supported for resource \"session\"!"— indicates the operation name is invalid or misspelled.- Network or authentication errors from the proxy server will be surfaced as error messages in the output.
- Resolution:
- Verify the resource and operation names match exactly.
- Confirm proxy details and credentials are correct.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
