Overview

This node interacts with the WaliChat WhatsApp API, specifically providing operations related to managing and retrieving information about WhatsApp messaging resources. The "Queue" resource with the "Get Queue Status" operation allows users to fetch the current status of the message queue for a specified WhatsApp number.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include monitoring message delivery pipelines, checking pending messages, or managing message flow for customer support or marketing campaigns via WhatsApp. For example, a user can retrieve the queue status to understand how many messages are waiting to be sent or processed for a particular WhatsApp number, helping optimize communication workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
WhatsApp Number The ID of the WhatsApp number for which to get the queue status. This is selected from available WhatsApp numbers linked to the account.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the queue status for the specified WhatsApp number. This typically includes details such as the number of messages currently queued, their states, and possibly metadata about the queue processing.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any associated files or media related to the queue status, but in this case, the output is purely JSON-based.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaliChat WhatsApp API.
  • The node depends on the WaliChat API service being accessible and properly configured.
  • The "WhatsApp Number" property dynamically loads options via a method that fetches available devices/numbers from the API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Selecting a WhatsApp number that is not active or incorrectly linked may result in errors or empty queue status.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • "Resource not found" or similar errors suggest the WhatsApp number ID is incorrect or no longer valid.
    • Timeout or connection errors require checking network access and API endpoint availability.
