Overview

This node operation resolves a given JID (WhatsApp ID), LID (Legacy ID), or phone number to its corresponding WhatsApp identifier using the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It is useful for workflows that need to convert or verify contact identifiers before performing further WhatsApp messaging or management actions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Resolving a phone number to a WhatsApp JID to send a message.
  2. Converting a legacy ID to a current JID for group management or message actions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Input Value The JID, LID, or phone number string to resolve to a WhatsApp identifier.
Additional Fields Optional additional parameters for the operation, such as QR options, media/thumbnail settings, image processing, cryptographic options, UUID/ULID generation, poll decryption, and validation helpers.

Output

JSON

  • json - The resolved WhatsApp identifier or related resolution result returned from the API.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the WARest WhatsApp REST API and the base URL of the API server.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the input value is a valid JID, LID, or phone number string; invalid inputs may cause resolution failure.
  • Verify that the API credentials (base URL and API key) are correctly configured and active.
  • Check network connectivity to the WARest API server to avoid request timeouts or connection errors.
  • If the operation is not implemented or the API endpoint changes, the node may throw an error indicating the operation is not supported.
