Inputs

  • accountId — WhatsApp account to run this operation on. The list shows only accounts your API key is allowed to use; leave it empty to auto-select when the key is bound to a single account (a multi-account key requires a choice). Choose from the list, or specify an ID using an expression.
  • groupId (required) — The group to act on — its ID/JID ending in @g.us (from Group: Get Many). Choose from the list, or specify an ID using an expression.
  • description — The group's new description text

Output shape

a single record

Returns {success: true} only; it does not echo the group back, so re-read Group: Get to confirm the new text. Requires Pro and the account must be an admin of the group.

Examples

Example 1: Update a group's description to reflect a new meeting time.

Select the group ID and enter the new description text.
