Actions11

Overview

This node integrates with the Waapify API to send WhatsApp messages and perform related operations. Specifically, for the Message resource with the Send vCard operation, it allows sending a contact card (vCard) via WhatsApp to a specified phone number. This is useful in scenarios where you want to share contact information directly through WhatsApp, such as sharing business cards, customer support contacts, or team member details.

Practical example: Automatically sending a new customer's contact card to a sales representative after a form submission, enabling quick saving of the contact on their phone.
