Overview
This node interacts with the Wazzap API to update the description of a WhatsApp group. It is useful for automating the management of group metadata, such as changing the group's subtitle or message description programmatically. Practical scenarios include updating group info in bulk, scheduling description changes, or integrating group updates into larger workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 👥 Group ID (JID) | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group where the description will be updated (e.g., 1234567890-123456@g.us). This is required. |
| 📝 Description | The new description or subtitle text to set for the group. |
| ⚙️ Additional Options | Optional settings to customize the update: |
| - 🔢 Priority Number | Select which sending number to use: 0 = Default, 999 = Random, 1–5 = Specific number slot. |
| - ⏱️ Delay Settings | Configure a delay range before sending the update: specify minimum (Start (MS)) and maximum (End (MS)) delay in milliseconds. A random delay within this range will be applied. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Wazzap API after attempting to update the group description. The exact structure depends on the API but typically includes confirmation of success or error details. There is no binary data output.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wazzap API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials for the Wazzap API.
- Network access to
https://doc.wazzap.mx/api-referenceor the actual Wazzap API endpoint.
Troubleshooting
- Unsupported operation error: If the node throws "Unsupported operation" it means the selected resource-operation combination is not implemented. Verify that you have chosen "👥 Group" as resource and "📝 Update Group Description" as operation.
- Invalid Group ID: Providing an incorrect or malformed group JID will cause the API call to fail. Ensure the JID matches the expected format (e.g.,
1234567890-123456@g.us). - Authentication errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent the node from connecting to the Wazzap API. Check your API key/token configuration.
- Delay misconfiguration: Setting the start delay greater than the end delay may cause unexpected behavior. Ensure the start value is less than or equal to the end value.
