Overview
This node integrates with the WhatsApp Outreach service by Boost.space, enabling users to interact programmatically with WhatsApp chats, messages, and user profiles. Specifically, for the Chat - Get One operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single chat identified by its Chat ID.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching metadata or details of a specific WhatsApp chat for further processing or analysis.
- Integrating WhatsApp chat data into CRM systems or customer support workflows.
- Automating retrieval of chat information as part of larger automation sequences.
For example, a user might input a Chat ID to get the chat's participants, timestamps, or other relevant chat details to display in a dashboard or trigger follow-up actions.

Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the chat details returned from the WhatsApp Outreach API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as chat participants, chat creation time, last message info, and other metadata related to the chat.
No binary data output is produced for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the WhatsApp Outreach service by Boost.space.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the service’s endpoint (e.g.,
https://rnmqfhwsqojadktbxnrf.supabase.co/functions/v1/getChat). - Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Chat ID will cause the API request to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API key credential is not set up correctly.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the external API endpoint.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the API will be propagated; typical messages may indicate "chat not found" or "unauthorized".
- To resolve, verify the Chat ID is correct and that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
