Send WhatsApp messages via WasapBom API

Actions8

Overview

This node integrates with the WasapBom API to send WhatsApp messages and manage WhatsApp-related resources such as chats, contacts, groups, and instances. Specifically, for the Group - Create operation, it allows users to create a new WhatsApp group by specifying a group name and a list of participants' phone numbers.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating group creation for team communications, customer support groups, or event coordination via WhatsApp. For example, a marketing automation workflow could automatically create a WhatsApp group for a new campaign and add relevant participants.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group Name The name of the WhatsApp group to be created.
Participants Comma-separated list of phone numbers (without the "+" sign) to add as group members.
Required to set country code without +. Example: 60123456789 Notice reminding users to enter phone numbers with country code but without the "+" prefix.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the WasapBom API after attempting to create the group. This typically includes details about the newly created group such as its ID, name, participants, and status.

If an error occurs, the output may contain an error object with fields like error (message), statusCode, and timestamp.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active WasapBom API key credential configured in n8n.
  • Makes HTTP requests to the WasapBom API endpoint at https://panel.wasapbom.com/api/whatsapp.
  • The API key must have permissions to create WhatsApp groups.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failed: If you receive an authentication error, verify that your API key credential is correct and has not expired.
  • Validation error: Ensure that the group name is provided and that participant phone numbers are correctly formatted (country code included, no "+" sign).
  • Bad request: Check that all required parameters are present and properly formatted.
  • Forbidden: Your API key might lack permission to create groups; check your WasapBom account settings.
  • Not found: The API endpoint might be incorrect or the service temporarily unavailable.
  • Server error: Retry later or contact WasapBom support if the issue persists.

To handle errors gracefully, enable "Continue on Fail" in the node settings to capture error details in the output instead of stopping execution.
