Message → Request History
AI-generatedSummary
Request older WhatsApp messages for a chat using the specified instance. The request is asynchronous; after a few seconds, use Message > List to retrieve the messages, and repeat the request to page further back.
Inputs
- Instance ID (required) — UUID of the WhatsApp instance.
- Chat JID (required) — Chat identifier, such as phone@s.whatsapp.net for a contact or groupid@g.us for a group.
- Count — Number of older messages to request (1–100; defaults to 50).
Output shape
One item containing the parsed API response for each input item.
The response confirms the history request; messages arrive asynchronously and can be retrieved later with Message > List.
