Overview
This node operation clears all messages in a specified chat within a WhatsApp session using the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It is useful for scenarios where you want to programmatically delete all chat history for a particular chat, such as for privacy reasons, chat management, or resetting a conversation.
Use Case Examples
- Clear all messages in a chat with a specific contact or group within a selected WhatsApp session.
- Automate chat cleanup processes by clearing chat messages based on workflow triggers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session | The WhatsApp session identifier from which the chat messages will be cleared. This can be selected from a list of available sessions or entered manually. |
| Recipient / Chat (to) | The phone number or JID of the chat whose messages are to be cleared. This identifies the target chat for the clear operation. |
Output
JSON
json- The response from the WARest API after clearing the chat messages, typically confirming the success or failure of the operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the WARest WhatsApp REST API and the base URL of the API server.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the session ID is valid and active; otherwise, the API call will fail.
- The 'to' field must be a valid phone number or JID corresponding to an existing chat; invalid identifiers will cause errors.
- API connectivity issues or incorrect API credentials will prevent the operation from succeeding.
