Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific group in a WhatsApp session. It is useful for scenarios where you need to access group metadata such as group name, participants, and other group-related details. For example, it can be used in automation workflows to fetch group info for reporting or to trigger actions based on group membership.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch group details by providing the session name and group ID to monitor group activity.
  2. Use the group information to send targeted messages or notifications to group members.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The name of the WhatsApp session to use for the request.
Id The unique identifier of the group to retrieve information for.
Request Options Additional options to customize the request such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout duration.

Output

  • groupId - The unique identifier of the group.
  • groupName - The name of the group.
  • participants - List of participants in the group.
  • creationDate - Timestamp when the group was created.
  • owner - The owner or admin of the group.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session name provided is valid and active; otherwise, the node will fail to retrieve group information.
  • Verify the group ID is correct and corresponds to an existing group in the session.
