Overview
This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve information about a specific group. It is useful when you need to fetch details of a WhatsApp group by its identifier or chat ID, such as for monitoring group metadata, auditing, or integrating group data into workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically fetching group info to display in dashboards.
- Using group metadata to trigger conditional workflow branches.
- Archiving group details for compliance or record-keeping.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The numeric instance ID representing the group to query. |
| Chat Id | The string identifier of the group chat, typically formatted like <xxxxx>@g.us. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the group's information as returned by the WaAPI API. This typically includes metadata fields describing the group such as its name, participants, creation date, and other relevant attributes.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the WaAPI API service.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to WaAPI.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://waapi.app/api/v1. - The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content negotiation.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Invalid group Id or Chat Id: Verify that the provided identifiers are correct and correspond to existing groups.
- Network issues or API downtime: Check network connectivity and WaAPI service status if requests fail.
- Unexpected API response: Confirm that the WaAPI API version matches the node's expectations; update the node or credentials if necessary.
