Overview
This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific WhatsApp group using the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or status about a group, such as its name, description, participants, or settings. For example, it can be used to monitor group details in a customer support chat or community management context.
Use Case Examples
- Fetch group info by providing the session ID and the group's unique identifier (Group ID).
- Use the retrieved group info to display group metadata in a dashboard or trigger workflows based on group attributes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session | The WhatsApp session identifier to use for the API call. It can be selected from a list of active sessions or entered manually. |
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group to retrieve information for. This is typically the group's JID ending with @g.us or the raw group ID. |
Output
JSON
json- The detailed information about the WhatsApp group returned by the API, including metadata such as group name, description, participants, and settings.
Dependencies

Troubleshooting
- Ensure the session ID provided is valid and active; otherwise, the API call will fail.
- Verify the Group ID is correctly formatted as a JID ending with @g.us or as a raw group ID.
- Check that the API credentials (API key and base URL) are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to access group information.
- Common error messages may include 'Operation not implemented' if the operation name is incorrect, or authentication errors if credentials are invalid.
