Community → Create
AI-generatedSummary
Creates a WhatsApp community using the selected FZAP instance. You can optionally add participants and configure announcement, membership approval, and community editing settings; participant addition and settings are applied after creation, so their failure does not undo the community.
Inputs
- Access Mode — Select the instance using the credential token (Instance) or choose an instance by name or ID (Admin).
- Instance Name or ID (required) — In Admin mode, select an instance or enter its ID.
- Name (required) — Name for the community, up to WhatsApp’s 25-character limit.
- Participants — Comma-separated participant phone numbers or JIDs. Added after the community is created; an error adding them leaves the community in place.
- Options — Optional community settings: Announce restricts messages in the announcement group to admins; Default Membership Approval Mode sets the approval mode (the UI suggests
request_required); Join Approval Required requires admin approval for new members; Locked restricts editing community information to admins. Settings are applied after creation, so a rejected setting does not undo the community; use Update to reapply it.
Output shape
A single n8n item containing the API response for the created community.
Creation is supported only for personal WhatsApp accounts; the API rejects requests from WhatsApp Business instances. Participant addition and settings can fail after the community has already been created.
Examples
Example 1: Create a community and add participants
Provide a name and optionally comma-separated participant numbers or JIDs. The community is created first, then participants are added.
Example 2: Create a community with optional settings
Set announcement, approval, or locked options. These are applied after creation and can fail independently.
