Overview
This node allows sending a text message via the Bizwachat API. It is designed to send customized messages that include a header, main message body, footer, and interactive buttons to a specified phone number. This node is useful in scenarios such as customer support, marketing campaigns, notifications, or any automated messaging workflows where personalized and interactive SMS messages are required.
For example, you can use this node to send appointment reminders with quick-reply buttons or promotional messages with call-to-action buttons directly to customers' phones.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phone | Recipient's phone number to which the message will be sent. |
| Message | The main text content of the message to be sent. |
| Header | A header text that appears at the top of the message, often used for titles or greetings. |
| Footer | A footer text that appears at the bottom of the message, often used for signatures or disclaimers. |
| Buttons | A JSON array defining interactive buttons included in the message (e.g., quick replies or links). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Bizwachat API after attempting to send the message. This typically includes status information about the message delivery, any error messages if applicable, and metadata related to the sent message.
There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Bizwachat API key credential configured in n8n.
- Depends on the Bizwachat API endpoint
https://bizwachat.com. - Uses standard HTTP headers for JSON communication (
Accept: application/json,Content-Type: application/json).
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Phone Number: If the phone number format is incorrect or missing, the API may reject the request. Ensure the phone number includes country code and is properly formatted.
- Malformed Buttons JSON: The "Buttons" property expects valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause parsing errors. Validate the JSON structure before input.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will result in authentication failures. Verify that the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
- API Rate Limits or Downtime: If the Bizwachat service is unavailable or rate limits are exceeded, message sending will fail. Check API status and retry later.
- Empty Required Fields: All properties (Phone, Message, Header, Footer, Buttons) are required. Omitting any will likely cause errors.
