Overview

This node interacts with the Z-API service to configure webhooks for WhatsApp events. Specifically, the 'Configure Webhook' operation under the 'Event' resource allows users to set a webhook URL where WhatsApp event notifications will be sent. This is useful for automating workflows based on incoming WhatsApp messages or other event triggers from the WhatsApp platform.

Use Case Examples

1. Setting up a webhook URL to receive notifications when a new WhatsApp message is received.
2. Configuring a webhook to trigger an automation when a WhatsApp group event occurs.
