Perform chat operations with ZuckZapGo WhatsApp API

Actions6

Overview

The ZuckZapGo Chat node enables interaction with the ZuckZapGo WhatsApp API to perform various chat-related operations. Specifically, the Set Presence operation allows users to set the presence state of a WhatsApp user, such as showing or hiding typing indicators or recording audio indicators in a chat.

This node is useful for automating chat behaviors that simulate real-time user activity, enhancing user experience by signaling when someone is typing or recording audio. For example, a chatbot can show a "typing" indicator while preparing a response, making interactions feel more natural.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the ZuckZapGo WhatsApp API.
  • Requires an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The node uses a helper function to make authenticated HTTP POST requests to the /chat/presence endpoint of the API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing phone number format may cause the API request to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors returned from the API are captured and included in the node's output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Typical error messages might include invalid parameter errors or authorization failures.

  • Resolution tips:

    • Verify the phone number is correctly formatted without extra characters.
    • Ensure the API key or token is valid and has not expired.
    • Check network access and firewall settings to allow outbound API requests.
