Overview
The WhatsAppMultiSession node allows users to interact with the WhatsApp Multi-Session API, specifically for managing sessions. The "Connect" operation is used to establish a connection to a specified session, which typically involves generating a QR code that can be scanned using the WhatsApp mobile application. This functionality is particularly beneficial for automating interactions with WhatsApp, such as sending messages or managing contacts, without manual intervention. Common scenarios include setting up automated customer support systems or integrating WhatsApp messaging into business workflows.

Output
The output of the Connect operation will typically include a JSON object containing details about the connection status and any relevant information returned by the API. This may include a QR code URL or confirmation of the connection. If the node can output binary data, it would generally represent media files or images associated with the session.
Dependencies
- An API key credential is required to authenticate requests to the WhatsApp Multi-Session API.
- The server URL for the WhatsApp Multi-Session API must be configured in the n8n environment.
Troubleshooting

- Error Messages:
- Authentication failed: Indicates that the provided API key is incorrect or lacks necessary permissions. Ensure the API key is valid and has the correct access rights.
