Overview
This node integrates with the ZuckZapGo API to manage WhatsApp groups programmatically. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing participants, and handling invite links.
The Get Invite Link operation specifically retrieves the invite link for a given WhatsApp group. This is useful when you want to share or distribute the group's invite link dynamically within an automation workflow. Additionally, it can optionally reset (revoke) the existing invite link and generate a new one, enhancing security or controlling access.
Practical examples:
- Automatically fetch and send the current invite link of a group to new users joining a platform.
- Reset the invite link periodically to prevent unauthorized access.
- Use the invite link in marketing campaigns or customer support workflows to onboard users into WhatsApp groups.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group JID | The unique identifier (JID) of the WhatsApp group, e.g., 120363312246943103@g.us. |

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the invite link information returned by the ZuckZapGo API. This typically includes the invite URL and possibly metadata about the invite status.
Example output structure (simplified):
{
"InviteLink": "https://chat.whatsapp.com/ExampleInviteCode",
"GroupJID": "120363312246943103@g.us",
"Reset": false
}
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
