WhatsApp Trigger
AI-generatedSummary
Receive and process incoming WhatsApp messages via a webhook from the Evolution API, emitting the message data into the workflow.
Inputs
None.
Output shape
a single object per message representing the incoming WhatsApp message details
The output contains properties such as message id, type (text, audio, image, document), sender's number, instance identifier, sender's username, group name if applicable, media URLs and captions if present, filename and mimetype for documents, and the timestamp as ISO datetime string. Each webhook trigger emits one such message object wrapped in the standard n8n workflow data format.
Examples
Example 1: Receiving a text message
No input parameters needed; the trigger listens to WhatsApp messages sent to the configured Evolution API webhook path 'webhook'. When a text message is received, the workflow is triggered with an object containing the text, sender number, username, and timestamp.
