Business catalog → Get My Catalog
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the WaliChat WhatsApp Business API, specifically allowing you to retrieve your business catalog associated with a WhatsApp Business number. The "Get My Catalog" operation fetches the list of products or items that you have published in your WhatsApp Business catalog.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Synchronizing your WhatsApp Business product catalog with other systems like e-commerce platforms or CRMs.
- Displaying your current product offerings within automated workflows.
- Managing inventory or product information by periodically fetching the catalog data.
For example, you could use this node to automatically pull your WhatsApp catalog and update your website's product listings or send product details to customers via chatbots.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp Number | The ID of your WhatsApp Business number for which you want to retrieve the catalog. |
| Pagination | Options to control pagination of the catalog results: |
| - Page Size | Number of products to return per page (1 to 500). Defaults to 100. |
| - Page Number | Page number to return, starting from 0. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the catalog items retrieved from the WhatsApp Business account specified. Each item typically contains product details such as name, description, price, images, and other catalog metadata as provided by the WaliChat API.
If the catalog includes many products, the output respects the pagination parameters, returning only the requested page of results.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaliChat WhatsApp Business API.
- The node depends on the WaliChat service being accessible and the WhatsApp Business number having an active catalog.
- Pagination parameters are supported to handle large catalogs efficiently.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing WhatsApp Business number ID will cause the request to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API key credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Requesting a page number beyond the available range may return empty results.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- "Catalog not found" or similar errors suggest the WhatsApp number does not have a catalog set up.
- Rate limiting or network errors require retry logic or checking API usage limits.
