WhatsApp Multi-Session

Interact with WhatsApp Multi-Session API

Overview

The WhatsAppMultiSession node allows users to interact with the WhatsApp Multi-Session API, specifically for managing webhooks. The "Set URL" operation enables users to configure a webhook URL that will receive notifications from WhatsApp. This is particularly useful for applications that need to respond to incoming messages or events in real-time. For example, a business could set up a webhook to automatically handle customer inquiries received via WhatsApp, allowing for seamless communication and automation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session ID The WhatsApp session ID used to identify the specific session for which the webhook URL is being set.
Webhook URL The URL where WhatsApp will send webhook notifications. This should be a publicly accessible endpoint.

Output

The output of the execute() method when setting the webhook URL typically includes a JSON object confirming the successful update of the webhook configuration. The structure may include details such as the updated webhook URL or a success message. If there are errors during the process, the output will contain error information.

Dependencies

  • An API key credential is required to authenticate requests to the WhatsApp Multi-Session API.
  • The server URL for the WhatsApp API must be configured correctly in the n8n environment.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Incorrect or expired session ID: Ensure that the session ID provided is valid and active.
    • Invalid webhook URL: The URL must be publicly accessible; otherwise, WhatsApp will not be able to send notifications.
  • Error Messages:

    • "Authentication failed": This indicates that the API key is invalid or has insufficient permissions. Verify the API key and its associated permissions.
    • "Media link has expired": If using media URLs, ensure they are requested fresh from the webhook to avoid expiration issues.
