Summary

Sends an emoji to a WhatsApp recipient as a text message that quotes a specific earlier message, standing in for a reaction. It is not a native reaction overlay, because the API has no dedicated reaction route.

Inputs

  • Session (required) — The WAOtomatis session (connected WhatsApp number) to send from. Pick it from the list or enter an ID.
  • To (required) — Recipient phone number in E.164 digits, with country code and no "+" or spaces, e.g. 628123456789.
  • Reply To (Provider Message ID) (required) — The provider message ID (wamid) of the message to quote.
  • Emoji (required) — The emoji to send. Defaults to 👍.

Output shape

One output item per input item, containing the JSON response from the WAOtomatis send-message API (POST /v1/sessions/{sessionId}/messages).

The exact response fields are not defined in the node code. The request sent is {to, type:'text', text:, replyTo:}. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed item returns {error: message} instead of stopping the workflow.

Examples

Example 1: Acknowledge an incoming customer message with a thumbs-up.

Session: the connected number. To: {{$json.from}}. Reply To: {{$json.messageId}} (wamid from the inbound webhook). Emoji: 👍.
