Overview
This node integrates with the Wazzap API to send interactive poll messages via WhatsApp. Specifically, the "Send Poll" operation under the "Message" resource allows users to create and send a poll to a specified recipient's phone number. This is useful for gathering quick feedback, conducting surveys, or engaging audiences directly through WhatsApp.
Practical examples include:
- Sending customer satisfaction polls after service interactions.
- Conducting quick opinion polls in group chats.
- Collecting votes on event planning options.

Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Wazzap API after sending the poll message. This typically includes confirmation details such as message ID, status, and any metadata returned by the API.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent media or attachments related to the message, but this operation focuses on JSON responses only.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wazzap API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on network access to
https://doc.wazzap.mx/api-referenceas the base URL for API requests. - Proper configuration of the recipient phone number format (including country code) is necessary for successful delivery.
Troubleshooting
- Unsupported operation error: If the node throws an error stating the operation is unsupported, verify that the Resource is set to "Message" and Operation to "Send Poll".
- Invalid phone number format: Ensure the recipient phone number includes the country code and no invalid characters.
- Poll options constraints: The poll requires at least 2 and at most 12 unique options; violating this will cause errors.
- API authentication failures: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
- Delay settings misconfiguration: If delay start is greater than delay end, the node may behave unexpectedly; ensure proper numeric ranges.
