Overview
This node operation sends a text message via the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It allows users to specify a WhatsApp session, the recipient's phone number or chat ID, and the text content of the message. Additional options include sending typing indicators, replying to a specific message, and marking the message as forwarded. This node is useful for automating WhatsApp text communications, such as sending notifications, alerts, or customer support messages.
Use Case Examples
- Sending a simple text notification to a customer.
- Replying to a user's query in a WhatsApp chat automatically.
- Broadcasting a text message to multiple recipients by specifying comma-separated phone numbers.

- The recipient phone number or JID must be correctly formatted; invalid numbers will cause message sending to fail.
- If using the replyMessageId field, ensure the referenced message ID exists in the chat.
- Network or authentication errors may occur if the API key or base URL is incorrect or the server is unreachable.
