Overview
This node interacts with the Wassenger WhatsApp API to retrieve detailed information about a specific WhatsApp number by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch configuration or status details of a WhatsApp number managed via Wassenger, such as for monitoring, reporting, or further automation workflows.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Retrieve a WhatsApp number's metadata before sending messages.
- Get additional related data like agents assigned to the number or quick replies configured.
- Exclude certain information like session or profile data to optimize response size.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp Number ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp number to retrieve. This is required and loaded dynamically. |
| Include Options | A collection of options to customize the response: |
| - Include | Select additional related information to include in the response. Options: Agents, Catalog, Quick Replies |
| - Exclude | Select information to exclude from the response. Options: Session, Profile, Stats, Queue |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing the details of the requested WhatsApp number. Depending on the selected include/exclude options, the response may contain:
- Basic number information (ID, status, etc.)
- Related agents managing the number
- Business catalog linked to the number
- Configured quick replies
- Optionally excluded fields such as session info, profile details, statistics, or queue data
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wassenger WhatsApp API using a valid API key credential.
- The node depends on internal methods that handle API calls to Wassenger services.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing WhatsApp Number ID will cause errors.
- Network or authentication failures with the Wassenger API.
- Requesting includes/excludes that conflict or are unsupported may result in incomplete data.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the API will be propagated; typical messages include "Not Found" if the number ID does not exist.
- Authentication errors if the API key is invalid or missing.
Resolutions:
- Verify the WhatsApp Number ID is correct and exists.
- Ensure the API key credential is properly configured and has necessary permissions.
- Adjust include/exclude options to valid combinations.
