Relacio - WhatsApp

Overview

This node integrates with a WhatsApp relationship platform called "Relacio" to perform various operations related to WhatsApp channels, contacts, groups, campaigns, protocols, and more. Specifically, the operation "Canais - Listar" (List Channels) retrieves all available WhatsApp channels from the platform.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Automating the retrieval of WhatsApp communication channels for use in workflows.
• Managing contact information and messaging through WhatsApp.
• Accessing campaign data and message statuses for marketing automation.
• Handling customer support protocols and group memberships via WhatsApp.

For example, using the "Canais - Listar" operation, a user can fetch all WhatsApp channels configured in their Relacio account to dynamically route messages or assign contacts to specific channels.

Properties

Output

The output of the "Canais - Listar" operation is an array of JSON objects representing the WhatsApp channels available in the Relacio platform. Each object typically contains details about a channel such as its identifier, name, status, and other metadata relevant to WhatsApp communication channels.

The node does not explicitly mention binary data output for this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the Relacio WhatsApp platform.
• The node depends on internal action methods imported from ./actions which handle the actual API calls.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication token or credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Authentication failures due to missing or invalid API credentials.
  • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Relacio platform.
  • Receiving empty or incomplete channel lists if the account has no configured WhatsApp channels.

• Error Messages:

  • Errors related to authorization usually indicate incorrect or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
  • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check internet connectivity and firewall settings.
  • Unexpected response formats may indicate changes in the external API; ensure the node version is up to date.
