- 👥 Group Actions
Overview
The node interacts with the Wazzap API to update settings of a WhatsApp group identified by its unique Group ID (JID). It allows users to modify group configurations such as message permissions and who can edit group info. This is useful for automating group management tasks, for example:
- Restricting messaging to admins only during announcements.
- Allowing all members to send messages freely.
- Controlling whether group info is editable by all members or only admins.
Practical scenarios include managing large community groups, event coordination groups, or business communication channels where group settings need to be dynamically adjusted based on context.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 👥 Group ID (JID) | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group where the setting will be applied (e.g., 1234567890-123456@g.us). |
| ⚙️ Group Settings | The specific group configuration to apply: - 📢 Announcement Only: Only admins can send messages. - 💬 Everyone Can Message: All members can send messages. - 🔓 Editable by Members: Group info editable by all members. - 🔒 Admins Only Edit: Only admins can edit group info. |
| ⚙️ Additional Options | Optional parameters to customize the request: - 🔢 Priority Number: Select sending number slot (0=default, 999=random, 1–5=specific slot). - ⏱️ Delay Settings: Configure a random delay range in milliseconds before sending the update (start and end values). |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Wazzap API after attempting to update the group settings. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes confirmation of the updated settings or error details if the operation failed.
No binary data output is involved.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wazzap API service.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- Network access to
https://doc.wazzap.mx/api-referencebase URL.
Troubleshooting
- Unsupported operation error: If the node throws "Unsupported operation" it means the selected resource-operation combination is not implemented. Verify that "👥 Group" resource and "⚙️ Update Group Settings" operation are correctly selected.
- Invalid Group ID: Providing an incorrect or malformed JID will cause the API to reject the request. Ensure the Group ID matches the expected format (e.g.,
1234567890-123456@g.us). - Permission errors: Attempting to change settings without proper admin rights or invalid API credentials may result in authorization errors. Confirm the API key has sufficient permissions.
- Delay misconfiguration: Setting the start delay greater than the end delay could cause unexpected behavior. Always ensure the start value is less than or equal to the end value.
