Overview
This node interacts with the Wassenger WhatsApp API to perform various operations related to WhatsApp groups. Specifically, the "Get Group" operation under the "Groups" resource retrieves detailed information about a specific WhatsApp group associated with a selected WhatsApp number.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial:
- Fetching metadata or details of a particular WhatsApp group for monitoring or reporting.
- Integrating WhatsApp group data into CRM or customer support systems.
- Automating workflows that depend on group information, such as member management or message broadcasting.
Practical example:
A user wants to retrieve the details of a customer support group linked to a specific WhatsApp number to display group info in their dashboard or trigger further automation based on group attributes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp Number | The ID of the WhatsApp number to use (e.g., a phone number registered with WhatsApp). This is required and selectable from available devices. |
| Group ID | The ID of the WhatsApp group to retrieve information about. Examples include IDs like 447362053576-1500000000 or 447362053576-1500000000@g.us. This is required and depends on the selected WhatsApp number. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the specified WhatsApp group. This typically includes group metadata such as:
- Group ID

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wassenger WhatsApp API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication with the Wassenger service.
- The node dynamically loads options for WhatsApp numbers and groups via internal methods, which rely on the API.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing WhatsApp number or group ID may cause errors.
- API authentication failures if the API key is incorrect or expired.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Wassenger API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Group not found" โ Verify the Group ID is correct and belongs to the selected WhatsApp number.
- "Authentication failed" โ Check that the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
- "Failed to load options" โ Ensure the WhatsApp number has been correctly set and the API is reachable.
