AI-generated

Summary

Post a typing indicator to WhatsApp for a specified message.

Inputs

  • phoneNumberId — The Phone Number ID used to mark the message as read and show the typing indicator. If left empty, the node will try to find it automatically from the incoming data.
  • messageId — Optionally override the message ID. Leave empty to automatically use the incoming message ID from the previous node.

Output shape

JSON object from WhatsApp Cloud API response

The response reflects the status of the typing indicator request. The node returns the parsed JSON body of the API response.

Examples

Example 1: Show typing indicator using auto-resolved phone number and message ID from previous node data.

Leave phoneNumberId and messageId empty; the node extracts them from the incoming item's JSON structure (e.g., entry changes messages[0].id).
