Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve mentions from a specific message. It is useful in scenarios where you want to extract all user mentions within a particular message, for example, to analyze who was tagged or notified in a chat conversation.

Practical examples include:

  • Monitoring messages in a group chat to identify all mentioned users.
  • Extracting mention data for analytics or notification purposes.
  • Automating workflows based on mentions in messages.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Instance ID (a required numeric identifier for the operation instance)
Message Id The unique identifier of the message from which to get mentions (string format expected)

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the mentions extracted from the specified message. The exact structure depends on the WaAPI API response but typically includes details about each mention such as user IDs or usernames mentioned in the message.

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 the API is https://waapi.app/api/v1.
  • The node sends and expects JSON-formatted data.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication errors.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent Message Id will result in no data or error responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures: Check that the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
    • "Message not found" or similar: Verify the Message Id is correct and exists in the system.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the WaAPI service is reachable.
