Overview
This node allows sending WhatsApp status messages through the ZuckZapGo API. It supports multiple types of status content including text, images, videos, and audio. Users can customize the appearance and audience of the status messages.
Common scenarios include:
- Broadcasting a text announcement or update as a WhatsApp status.
- Sharing multimedia content such as photos, videos, or voice notes with contacts via status.
- Targeting specific recipients or excluding certain users from viewing the status.
Practical example:
- A business wants to share a promotional image as a WhatsApp status visible only to selected customers.
- An individual wants to post a text status with custom background and font colors.

Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response from the ZuckZapGo API after sending the status message. Each output item corresponds to one input item processed.
- The
jsonfield contains the API response data. - If the node processes binary media (image, video, audio), it prepares the media accordingly but does not output binary data itself.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the ZuckZapGo API with appropriate API authentication credentials configured in n8n.
- Uses helper functions from bundled GenericFunctions module for preparing media data and making authenticated API requests.
Troubleshooting
Error: Binary property "X" not found
Occurs if the specified binary property does not exist on the input item when using binary media sources.
Resolution: Verify that the previous node provides the expected binary data under the correct property name.Invalid color or font values
Colors must be provided in ARGB decimal format; fonts must be integers between 0 and 10.
Resolution: Ensure input values conform to these formats.API request failures
Could be due to invalid credentials, network issues, or incorrect parameters.
Resolution: Check API key validity, network connectivity, and parameter correctness.Continue On Fail behavior
If enabled, errors for individual items will be returned as error messages in the output instead of stopping execution.
