Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve contact information. Specifically, the "Get Contacts" operation fetches details about a contact by its unique instance ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to access or synchronize contact data from WaAPI within an n8n workflow, such as automating customer support, CRM updates, or marketing campaigns.

Example use cases:

  • Fetching a contact's details when a new ticket is created.
  • Synchronizing contact information between WaAPI and another system.
  • Triggering workflows based on specific contact attributes retrieved from WaAPI.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Instance ID of the contact to retrieve. This is a required numeric identifier used to specify which contact to fetch.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the contact details retrieved from WaAPI. The structure typically includes all relevant fields of the contact as defined by the WaAPI API response. There is no indication that binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI service.
  • The node uses the base URL https://waapi.app/api/v1 for API requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent contact ID may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • "Contact not found" or similar errors suggest the provided ID does not exist; confirm the ID value.
    • Timeout or connection errors require checking network settings and API availability.
