Overview
This node interacts with a WhatsApp HTTP API to update group settings. Specifically, the "Update Setting" operation under the "Groups" resource allows users to perform actions on WhatsApp groups by sending commands such as changing group info or managing group participants.
Common scenarios include automating group management tasks like muting/unmuting a group, changing group descriptions, or updating group settings programmatically without manual intervention in the WhatsApp app.
For example, a user could automate muting a group during off-hours or update group announcements dynamically based on external triggers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phone | The session ID representing the phone number authenticated with the WhatsApp API. |
| To | The unique identifier (Jid) of the target WhatsApp group to update (e.g., [email protected]). |
| Action | The specific action or command to perform on the group setting (e.g., mute, unmute). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the WhatsApp API after attempting to update the group setting. This typically includes confirmation of the action performed or error details if the update failed.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to a WhatsApp HTTP API endpoint.
- Needs an API key or authentication token configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the WhatsApp API must be set in the node's credential configuration.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Session ID: If the session ID (Phone) is incorrect or expired, the API will reject the request. Ensure the session is active and credentials are up to date.
- Incorrect Group Jid: Using an invalid or non-existent group Jid will cause errors. Verify the group identifier format and existence.
- Unsupported Action: Providing an unsupported or misspelled action string may result in API errors. Refer to the API documentation for valid actions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the WhatsApp API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures. Check network access and API availability.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent successful requests. Confirm that the API key/token is correctly configured.
