Group → Set Group Announce Mode
AI-generatedOverview
This node operation allows users to enable or disable the announce mode for a specific WhatsApp group using the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API. Announce mode restricts group messaging permissions, typically allowing only admins to send messages when enabled. This is useful for managing group communication flow, such as in announcement-only groups or official channels.
Use Case Examples
- Enable announce mode to restrict messaging to group admins only.
- Disable announce mode to allow all group members to send messages.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Device ID | Optional device ID override that takes priority over the credential device ID if set. |
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group for which the announce mode is being set. |
| Announce Mode | Boolean flag to enable (true) or disable (false) announce mode for the group. |
Output
JSON
json- The response from the API indicating the success or failure of setting the announce mode for the group.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API and the host URL for the API endpoint.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the Group ID is valid and the bot or user has admin permissions in the group to change announce mode.
- If the device ID override is used, verify it is correct and authorized.
- Common errors include permission denied or invalid group ID, which can be resolved by checking group membership and IDs.
