Overview
This node operation creates a new WhatsApp group using the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It allows users to specify the session, group name, and participants to form a group chat. This is useful for automating group creation in WhatsApp for team collaboration, event planning, or community management.
Use Case Examples
- Create a WhatsApp group named 'Project Team' with specified participants to facilitate project communication.
- Automatically create a group for event attendees to share updates and coordinate activities.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session | The WhatsApp session identifier used to authenticate and perform the group creation operation. |
| Group Name | The name of the group to be created on WhatsApp. |
| Participants | List of participants to be added to the group, specified by their JID or phone number. |
Output
JSON
json- The response from the WARest API containing details about the created group.
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; invalid sessions will cause authentication errors.
- Participants must be valid WhatsApp JIDs or phone numbers; invalid entries will cause the API to reject the request.
- The group name is required; omitting it will result in an error from the API.
