Overview
This node enables managing WhatsApp groups through the Wuzapi API. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating new groups, retrieving group information, managing participants, setting group properties (name, description, photo, announcement mode, etc.), and handling invite links.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating WhatsApp group creation with predefined participants, updating group settings programmatically, or integrating WhatsApp group management into broader workflows like customer support, marketing campaigns, or community management.
For example, you can use it to create a new WhatsApp group with specific members automatically when a new project starts, or update the group description based on external data changes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group Name | Name for the new group to be created. |
| Participants | Comma-separated list of phone numbers to add as participants to the new group. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing the response from the Wuzapi API corresponding to the requested operation. For the "Create" operation, the output includes details about the newly created group such as its identifier and metadata returned by the API.
No binary data output is produced by the "Create" operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Wuzapi API.
- The node depends on internal helper functions for:
- Validating phone numbers.
- Making HTTP requests to the Wuzapi API endpoints.
- Preparing media data if needed (not applicable for "Create" operation).
- Proper configuration of the Wuzapi API credentials in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Phone Numbers: If the participants' phone numbers are not correctly formatted, the API request may fail. Ensure phone numbers are valid and properly comma-separated.
- Missing Required Parameters: Both "Group Name" and "Participants" are required for the create operation. Omitting these will cause errors.
- API Request Failures: Network issues or invalid API credentials can cause request failures. Verify API key validity and network connectivity.
- Error Messages: Errors thrown by the node typically contain messages from the Wuzapi API. Review these messages to identify issues such as permission problems or invalid input data.
- Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
