Overview
The "Create Chat Note" operation in the Chats resource allows users to add a textual note to a specific WhatsApp chat associated with a given WhatsApp number. This feature is useful for annotating conversations with additional context, reminders, or internal comments without sending messages visible to the chat participants.
Common scenarios include:
- Customer support agents adding internal notes about a customer's issue.
- Sales teams documenting important details or follow-ups related to a chat.
- Team collaboration where notes help track conversation status or actions.
For example, after resolving a customer query via WhatsApp, an agent can create a note summarizing the resolution steps or next actions directly linked to that chat.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp Number | The ID of the WhatsApp number (device) from which the chat belongs. |
| Chat ID | The unique identifier of the chat (e.g., user chat like 447362053576@c.us or group chat like 44736205357600000000@g.us). |
| Note Message | The text content of the note to add (supports 2 to 6000 characters). WhatsApp rich text syntax is allowed. |
| Quote Message ID | (Optional) The ID of an existing message or note to quote within this note. |
| Author ID | (Optional) The user ID of the author creating the note, typically an agent from the team. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the note creation operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the created note's ID, timestamp, and any metadata returned by the WhatsApp API.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wassenger WhatsApp API service.
- An API key credential must be configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The WhatsApp number (device) must be registered and available in the Wassenger system.
- Optionally, team agents must be defined if specifying an author for the note.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Chat ID: If the provided chat ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the chat ID format and existence.
- Unauthorized Access: Missing or invalid API key credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly set up.
- Note Length Violations: Notes shorter than 2 or longer than 6000 characters may be rejected. Adjust the note message length accordingly.
- Author ID Issues: Specifying an author ID that does not correspond to a valid team agent may cause errors. Confirm the author exists and is linked to the device.
- Device Not Found: If the WhatsApp number (device) is not recognized, the operation will fail. Check that the device is properly loaded and accessible.
