Overview
This node integrates with the Wuzapi API to manage WhatsApp groups. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing participants, and handling invite links. The "Get Invite Info" operation specifically retrieves detailed information about a WhatsApp group invite code or link, which can be useful for validating invites before joining or sharing them.
Practical scenarios include:
- Validating an invite code received from a user or external source.
- Retrieving metadata about a group invite without joining the group.
- Automating workflows that require checking invite details before proceeding.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Invite Code | Group invite code or full invite link (e.g., HffXhYmzzyJGec61oqMXiz or full URL). Required for "Get Invite Info" and "Join" operations. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing the response from the Wuzapi API about the invite code. This typically includes details such as the group name, description, participant count, expiration status, or other metadata related to the invite code.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wuzapi API service.
- Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- Utilizes helper functions for phone number validation and media preparation (not relevant for this operation).
- The node expects the invite code parameter to be either a raw code or a full WhatsApp invite URL; it extracts the code automatically.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or expired invite code will likely result in an error from the API.
- Supplying a malformed invite link may cause the node to fail extracting the invite code properly.
- Network or authentication errors if the API key is missing or incorrect.
Error messages:
"Binary property \"<property>\" not found"— Not applicable for this operation but common in photo upload operations.- API errors indicating invalid invite codes should be resolved by verifying the invite code or link correctness.
- If the node throws an error about missing parameters, ensure the "Invite Code" field is filled correctly.
