Overview

This node interacts with the Z-API service to perform operations related to WhatsApp chats. Specifically, the 'Read Messages' operation under the 'Chat' resource allows users to retrieve messages from a WhatsApp chat by specifying the phone number associated with the chat. This is useful for scenarios where you want to programmatically access chat messages for processing, analysis, or integration with other systems.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all messages from a specific WhatsApp chat by providing the phone number with country code.
  2. Use the node to monitor incoming messages in a chat for automated responses or logging.
