Interact with Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API

User → Get User Info

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API to retrieve user information. Specifically, the 'Get User Info' operation under the 'User' resource fetches details about a WhatsApp user based on a provided phone number or defaults to the authenticated user's own info if no phone number is specified. This is useful for scenarios where you need to access user profile data, verify contact details, or manage user-related information within WhatsApp automation workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve profile information of a specific WhatsApp user by providing their phone number.
  2. Fetch the authenticated user's own WhatsApp profile information when no phone number is given.

Properties

Name Meaning
Device ID Optional device ID override that takes priority over the credential device ID if set.
User Phone Phone number to get info for; leave empty to get info for the authenticated user.

Output

JSON

  • userInfo - The retrieved user information from the WhatsApp API, including profile details and status.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Go WhatsApp Web MultiDevice API.

Troubleshooting

  • If the node throws an error about an unknown resource, ensure the 'resource' parameter is set to 'user'.
  • If user info is not returned, verify the phone number format and that the device ID override (if used) is correct.
  • Errors related to authentication usually indicate issues with the provided API credentials or host URL configuration.
