Overview
This node integrates with the ZuckZapGo API to manage WhatsApp groups. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing participants, setting group properties (name, description, photo, announcement mode, ephemeral messages), and handling invite links.
A common use case is automating WhatsApp group management within workflows, for example:
- Automatically creating a new WhatsApp group with specified participants.
- Fetching details about existing groups.
- Updating group settings or participant roles programmatically.
- Managing group invite links for onboarding users.
This node is beneficial for businesses or services that rely on WhatsApp groups for communication and want to automate group administration tasks without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group Name | Name for the new group to be created. |
| Participants | Comma-separated list of phone numbers to add to the new group (e.g., 5491112345678). |
These properties are required when performing the Create operation.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the ZuckZapGo API for the requested operation. For the Create operation, this typically includes details about the newly created WhatsApp group such as its identifier, name, participants, and other metadata returned by the API.
No binary output is produced by the Create operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the ZuckZapGo API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on helper functions for phone number validation and media preparation imported from a generic utility module.
- Network access to the ZuckZapGo API endpoints is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid phone numbers: If the participants list contains improperly formatted phone numbers, the API request may fail. Ensure all phone numbers are valid and properly formatted.
- Missing required parameters: The "Group Name" and "Participants" fields are mandatory for the create operation. Omitting these will cause errors.
- API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Binary property not found: Although not relevant for the create operation, other operations involving images require correct binary data input; missing or misnamed binary properties will cause errors.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems with the ZuckZapGo API will result in request failures.
