CrunchzAppInstall

Overview

This node allows you to send a "typing" indicator to a specific contact in a messaging platform via the CrunchzApp API. When activated, it simulates the action of typing a message to the recipient, which can enhance user experience by indicating that a response is being prepared. This is particularly useful in chatbot scenarios or automated messaging workflows where you want to mimic human-like interaction.

For example, before sending an automated reply, the node can trigger the typing indicator to show the recipient that a message is forthcoming.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the CrunchzApp API after attempting to send the typing indicator. This typically includes confirmation of the action or any error messages returned by the API.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active CrunchzApp API key credential configured in n8n.
• Depends on the CrunchzApp API endpoint at https://api.crunchz.app/api.
• The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content type and expects JSON responses.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Contact Id: Ensure the Contact Id is correctly formatted and corresponds to an existing contact.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the CrunchzApp API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
  • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and CrunchzApp service status.

• Error messages:

  • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with API credentials.
  • 400-series errors may indicate invalid input parameters such as malformed Contact Id.
  • Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input values, checking credential configuration, and ensuring stable network access.
