Overview
The node integrates with the Wazzap API to create WhatsApp groups programmatically. It allows users to specify a group name, add multiple phone numbers as members, and configure sending options such as priority and message delay. This node is useful for automating group creation in WhatsApp for marketing campaigns, community management, or customer support groups.
Practical examples:
- Automatically creating a new WhatsApp group for event attendees by providing their phone numbers.
- Setting up customer support groups where agents are added dynamically based on availability.
- Managing marketing campaign groups with controlled message sending delays to avoid spam detection.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 📱 Recipient Phone Number (jid) | The full phone number of the recipient including country code; identifies the WhatsApp account initiating the group creation. |
| 👥 Group Name (groupName) | The desired name for the new WhatsApp group. |
| 📞 Phone Numbers (phoneNumbers) | A collection of phone numbers (including country codes) to be added as members of the group. Multiple numbers can be specified. |
| 🔢 Priority Number (options.priority) | Selects which sending number to use: 0 = Default, 999 = Random, 1–5 = Specific number slot. |
| ⏱️ Delay Settings (options.delaySettings) | Configures a random delay range (in milliseconds) before sending messages, with start and end values. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Wazzap API after attempting to create the group. The exact structure depends on the API but typically includes confirmation details such as group ID, status, and any error messages if applicable.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wazzap API service.
- Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API is
https://doc.wazzap.mx/api-reference. - Proper network access to the Wazzap API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Unsupported operation error: If the node throws "Unsupported operation" for the resource or operation, verify that the selected Resource is "👥 Group" and Operation is "👥 Create Group".
- Invalid phone numbers: Ensure all phone numbers include the correct country code and are formatted properly (e.g., +521234567890).
- API authentication failures: Confirm that the API key or token is correctly set up in n8n credentials and has sufficient permissions.
- Delay settings misconfiguration: If delay start is greater than delay end, the node might behave unexpectedly; ensure start ≤ end.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the Wazzap API endpoint and firewall settings.
