Interact with WhatsApp Multi-Session API

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.
