Overview
This node operation sends a sticker message via the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It allows users to send a sticker to a specified recipient or chat by providing a session ID and the sticker content, which can be supplied either as a URL/path/data URI or as binary data. Additional options include compressing the media and setting message-related fields such as replying to a message or marking the message as forwarded. This node is useful for automating sticker sending in WhatsApp conversations, for example, in customer support or marketing scenarios.
Use Case Examples
- Sending a sticker to a customer chat by specifying the session and recipient phone number, using a sticker URL.
- Sending a sticker from binary data stored in the workflow, enabling dynamic sticker content based on workflow logic.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session | Identifier of the WhatsApp session to use for sending the sticker. Can be selected from a list or entered manually. |
| Recipient / Chat (to) | Phone number or JID of the recipient chat where the sticker will be sent. Can be a comma-separated list. |
| Binary File | Boolean flag to enable sending the sticker from a binary property instead of a URL or path. |
| Sticker | URL, path, or data URI of the sticker image or GIF to send. Required if not using binary mode. |
| Sticker Binary Property | Name of the binary property containing the sticker data when binary mode is enabled. |
| Compress Media | Boolean flag to enable compression of the sticker media before sending. |
| Additional Fields | Optional additional message fields such as presence indicator (typing/recording), reply to a specific message ID, and marking the message as forwarded. |
Output
JSON
json- The JSON response from the WARest API after sending the sticker message, containing details about the sent message.
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.
- If using binary mode, verify that the specified binary property exists and contains valid image data.
- The recipient field must be a valid phone number or JID; invalid formats will cause errors.
- If compress media is enabled, large stickers might be compressed, which could affect quality.
- Common error messages include missing required parameters (sessionId, to, sticker) or invalid session state. Verify all required inputs are provided and correct.
