Overview
This node integrates with the UazAPI service to manage WhatsApp groups programmatically. Specifically, the Group - Update Name operation allows users to change the name of an existing WhatsApp group by providing the group's unique identifier (JID) and the new desired name.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating group management tasks in WhatsApp for businesses or communities.
- Renaming groups dynamically based on events, campaigns, or organizational changes.
- Integrating WhatsApp group management into broader automation workflows without manual intervention.
For example, a marketing team could automatically rename a WhatsApp group to reflect the current campaign name, ensuring participants always see the relevant context.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group JID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group to update. It typically looks like a number followed by @g.us. Example: 120363308883996631@g.us. |
| Group Name | The new name to assign to the WhatsApp group. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object containing the response from the UazAPI after attempting to update the group name. This response typically includes confirmation of the update or details about any errors encountered.
Example output structure (simplified):
{
"success": true,
"message": "Group name updated successfully",
"groupjid": "120363308883996631@g.us",
"newName": "New Group Name"
}
If the API returns additional metadata or error information, it will also be included in the JSON output.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the UazAPI service.
- Needs valid credentials configured in n8n that provide access to the UazAPI, including the base URL and authentication tokens.
- The node uses HTTP requests authenticated via these credentials to communicate with the UazAPI endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group JID: If the provided group JID is incorrect or the bot/user is not part of the group, the API may return an error indicating the group was not found or access denied. Verify the JID format and membership.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions to perform group updates.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the UazAPI server can cause request failures. Check network settings and API availability.
- Empty or Invalid Group Name: The new group name must be a non-empty string. Providing invalid input may result in API validation errors.
Common error messages usually come directly from the UazAPI and should be reviewed in the node's output JSON to diagnose issues.
