Overview

This node operation promotes a participant within a WhatsApp group to an admin role. It is useful in scenarios where group management automation is needed, such as automatically elevating trusted members or moderators based on certain triggers or workflows. For example, after verifying a participant's activity or role externally, this node can be used to grant them admin privileges without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The instance ID of the WhatsApp API connection to use for this operation (required).
Chat Id The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group chat where the participant will be promoted.
Participant The unique identifier of the participant (phone number with WhatsApp suffix) to promote.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the promotion request. This typically includes confirmation of success or details about the updated participant status within the group. No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the WhatsApp API service via an API key credential.
  • The node depends on the external WhatsApp API endpoint https://waapi.app/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials and network access to the WhatsApp API is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing Chat Id or Participant identifiers may cause the promotion to fail.
    • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials can lead to authentication errors.
    • Attempting to promote a participant who is already an admin might return an error or no change.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication failures: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Not found or invalid participant/chat: Verify the format and correctness of the Chat Id and Participant values.
    • API rate limits or connectivity issues: Ensure stable internet connection and check API usage quotas.
