Overview

This node interacts with the WaliChat WhatsApp API to create meeting links that can be shared via WhatsApp. Specifically, the "Create Meeting Link" operation under the "Meeting Links" resource generates a link for either a voice or video call associated with a specified WhatsApp number (device). The meeting link can optionally include a description message and has an expiration time after which it becomes invalid.

Practical scenarios where this node is useful include:

  • Scheduling quick voice or video calls with customers or team members directly through WhatsApp.
  • Automating the generation and sharing of meeting links in customer support workflows.
  • Integrating WhatsApp-based meeting scheduling into broader automation pipelines.

Properties

Name Meaning
WhatsApp Number The ID of the WhatsApp number (device) from which the meeting link will be created.
Link Type The type of meeting link to create. Options: Voice Call, Video Call.
Call Description Optional message describing the purpose of the call (up to 500 characters).
Expiration When the meeting link will expire if not used. Options range from 1 hour up to 30 days.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing details about the created meeting link. This typically includes the URL of the meeting link and metadata such as its expiration time and type (voice or video). The exact structure depends on the API response but generally provides all necessary information to share or use the meeting link.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the WaliChat WhatsApp API.
  • Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication with the WaliChat service.
  • The WhatsApp number (device) must be registered and available in the WaliChat system.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing WhatsApp number ID may cause failures in creating the meeting link.
    • Providing an unsupported expiration value or exceeding the maximum length for the call description could result in errors.
    • Network or authentication errors if the API key is incorrect or expired.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to authorization usually indicate problems with the API key credential; verify and update as needed.
    • Validation errors on input parameters suggest checking the values for "WhatsApp Number," "Link Type," "Call Description," and "Expiration."
    • Timeout or connectivity errors require checking network access to the WaliChat API endpoint.
