Overview
This node allows sending WhatsApp messages via the OneSender API. Specifically, for the Group Message resource with the Send Text to Group operation, it sends a text message to a specified WhatsApp group.
Common scenarios include:
- Broadcasting announcements or updates to a WhatsApp group.
- Sending reminders or alerts to team groups.
- Sharing information quickly with multiple members in a group chat.
Example: Sending a meeting reminder text to a project group on WhatsApp by specifying the group's unique WhatsApp ID and the message content.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique WhatsApp group ID to which the text message will be sent (e.g., [email protected]). |
| Message Text | The actual text content of the message that will be sent to the group. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response from the OneSender API after sending the message. Each object corresponds to one execution item and contains details about the sent message or any error encountered.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active OneSender API account.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the OneSender API endpoint defined by the base URL and API key.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group ID: If the group ID format is incorrect or the bot is not part of the group, the API may return an error. Verify the group ID and ensure the bot has permissions.
- API Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API key will cause authorization failures. Check that the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Message Content Issues: Empty or excessively long message text might cause errors. Ensure the message text is valid and within allowed limits.
- Network or API Downtime: Temporary connectivity issues can cause request failures. Retry after some time or check OneSender service status.
Common error messages are returned from the OneSender API and surfaced by the node. They typically indicate authentication problems, invalid parameters, or rate limiting.
