Overview
This node operation allows users to preview a WhatsApp group via an invite link using the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch and display information about a WhatsApp group before joining it, such as group details and metadata, without actually joining the group. For example, a user can input an invite link to preview the group info to decide whether to join the group or not.
Use Case Examples
- Preview a WhatsApp group by providing a valid invite link to see group details before joining.
- Use the invite link from a group admin to fetch group information for administrative or monitoring purposes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session | The WhatsApp session identifier used to authenticate and perform the API call. It can be selected from a list of existing sessions or entered manually. |
| Invite Link or Code | The invite link or code of the WhatsApp group to preview. This is required to fetch the group preview information. |
Output
JSON
json- The JSON response containing the preview information of the WhatsApp group fetched via the invite link.
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 authentication.
- Verify that the invite link or code is correct and not expired or revoked.
- Common error messages may include invalid session, invalid invite link, or network connectivity issues. Check credentials and network settings to resolve these.
