Summary

Starts a background sync for the selected WhatsApp account, pulling contacts, chats, message history, or all three into SocialMate’s local database. The operation returns the job status immediately; use Sync: Get Status to follow its progress.

Inputs

  • Account Name or ID — Select the WhatsApp account to sync. If left empty, the node selects it automatically when the API key is bound to one account; with multiple available accounts, choose one.
  • Sync Type — Choose Full (default), Contacts, Messages, or Chats to set what the sync pulls.

Output shape

A single job status object per input item.

The sync runs in the background, so the response does not contain synced contacts, chats, or messages. Use Sync: Get Status to check progress and completion, then the relevant Contact, Chat, or Message operation to read the synced data. Requires SocialMate Pro.
