WaAPIInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI API to format phone numbers associated with contacts. Specifically, the "Get Formatted Number" operation takes a raw phone number and returns it in a standardized, formatted version according to the API's formatting rules. This is useful in scenarios where consistent phone number formatting is required for display, storage, or further processing, such as CRM integrations, contact management systems, or communication platforms.

For example, if you have a list of phone numbers entered in various formats, this node can normalize them into a uniform format, improving data quality and ensuring compatibility with other systems.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the formatted phone number as returned by the WaAPI service. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes the normalized phone number string and possibly additional metadata about the formatting.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:
