Interact with SteveChat API for WhatsApp messaging

Actions26

Overview

The node "SteveChat" enables interaction with the SteveChat API for WhatsApp messaging. Specifically, for the Webhook resource and the Update Webhook operation, it allows users to update an existing webhook configuration by specifying a new webhook URL, selecting which event types to subscribe to, and setting whether the webhook should be active or not.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to programmatically manage webhook subscriptions for WhatsApp events, such as updating the endpoint that receives notifications or changing the types of events your application listens to. For example, if your application changes its backend URL or wants to start receiving additional event types like read receipts or presence updates, this node can automate those updates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webhook URL The URL endpoint that will receive webhook event notifications from SteveChat.
Events The types of events to subscribe to. Options include: All, Message, ReadReceipt, Presence, HistorySync, ChatPresence.
Active Boolean flag indicating whether the webhook subscription should be active (true) or inactive (false).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the webhook update operation. This typically includes confirmation details about the updated webhook configuration or any response data returned by the SteveChat API after the update request.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code or properties.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the SteveChat API.
  • Needs network access to the SteveChat service endpoints.
  • The node depends on the n8n-workflow package for error handling and workflow integration.
  • Proper configuration of the SteveChat API credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or unreachable webhook URL may cause the update to fail.
    • Selecting unsupported event types or invalid combinations could lead to errors.
    • Network connectivity issues to the SteveChat API might prevent successful updates.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The resource \"webhook\" is not supported!" — indicates the resource parameter was set incorrectly.
    • "The operation \"update\" is not supported for resource \"webhook\"!" — indicates the operation parameter was set incorrectly.
    • Errors related to invalid parameters or API responses will be surfaced with their messages; ensure all required fields are correctly filled.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify the webhook URL is correct and accessible.
    • Confirm that the selected events are valid options.
    • Check API credentials and permissions.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully during batch executions.
