Overview
This node operation sends a location message via the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It allows users to share geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) along with optional name and address details to a specified recipient or chat session. This is useful for scenarios where you want to share a precise location, such as meeting points, event venues, or places of interest, directly through WhatsApp messaging.
Use Case Examples
- Sending a location of a meeting point to a contact or group chat.
- Sharing a restaurant's location with friends via WhatsApp.

| Recipient / Chat (to) | The phone number or JID of the recipient or chat where the location message will be sent. Can be a single or comma-separated list. |
| Location | The geographic coordinates and optional descriptive details of the location to send. Includes latitude, longitude, name, and address. |

Dependencies

Troubleshooting
- Ensure the session ID is valid and active; otherwise, the message will not send.
- Latitude and longitude are required fields; missing these will cause an error.
- The recipient field must be a valid phone number or JID; invalid formats will cause failures.
- If using replyMessageId, ensure the referenced message ID exists in the chat.
- Check API credentials and base URL configuration if authentication errors occur.
