Overview

This node operation sends a text message as a reply or quote to an existing WhatsApp message. It is useful when you want to respond directly to a specific message in a conversation, making the original message appear quoted above your new text. This is commonly used in customer support, group chats, or any scenario where context is important for the reply.

Use Case Examples

  1. Replying to a customer's question by quoting their original message to provide clear context.
  2. Responding in a group chat by quoting a specific message to avoid confusion.

Key (JSON) The message key object containing remoteJid, fromMe, and ID fields to identify the message to quote.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'To' contact is correctly formatted as phone_number@s.whatsapp.net; incorrect formatting will cause message sending to fail.
  • The 'Key' and 'Message' JSON objects must correctly represent the original message to quote; invalid or incomplete data will result in errors.
  • Common error messages include 'Unknown message operation' if the operation parameter is incorrect, or API authentication errors if credentials are missing or invalid.
