Overview
The "Reply to Message" operation of the WhatsApp Multi-Session node allows users to send a reply to a specific message within a WhatsApp session. This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where automated responses are needed, such as customer support or chatbots that need to maintain context by replying to previous messages. For example, if a user receives a query about product availability, they can use this operation to respond directly to that message with relevant information.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session ID | The WhatsApp session ID required to identify the session for sending the reply. |
| Phone Number | The recipient's phone number (including country code, without the '+' sign) to whom the reply will be sent. |
| Reply Text | The text content of the reply message that will be sent to the recipient. |
| Quoted Message ID | The ID of the message being replied to, which must come from the same session. |
Output
The output of the "Reply to Message" operation typically includes a JSON object indicating the success of the operation and any relevant data returned from the API. The structure may include fields such as:
success: A boolean indicating whether the reply was successfully sent.message: A confirmation message regarding the operation.- Additional fields may provide details about the sent message or any errors encountered.
If the node can output binary data, it would generally relate to media files associated with the messages but is not applicable in this specific operation.
Dependencies
To utilize this node, users must have:
- An active WhatsApp Multi-Session API key credential for authentication.
- The server URL for the WhatsApp Multi-Session API configured in n8n.
Troubleshooting
Common issues users might encounter include:
- Invalid Session ID: If the provided session ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node may throw an error indicating that the session could not be found. Ensure that the session ID is valid and corresponds to an active session.
- Message Not Found: If the quoted message ID does not correspond to a message in the specified session, an error will occur. Verify that the quoted message ID is correct and belongs to the same session.
- Authentication Errors: If the API key is invalid or has insufficient permissions, users may receive authentication-related error messages. Check the API key and ensure it has the necessary permissions.
