Overview

This node operation connects a WhatsApp session using the WasenderAPI. It is useful for managing WhatsApp sessions programmatically, such as establishing a connection to a session to start sending or receiving messages. For example, a user can connect a specific WhatsApp session by selecting it from a list or providing its ID, enabling automated workflows that interact with WhatsApp through that session.

Use Case Examples

  1. Connecting a WhatsApp session to start message automation.
  2. Reconnecting a session after a disconnection to resume operations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The WhatsApp session to connect. Can be selected from a list of available sessions or specified by ID.
Options Additional options for the connection request, including retry behavior.

Output

Binary

Outputs a QR code image as binary data when connecting a session, which can be used to scan and authenticate the WhatsApp session.

JSON

  • json - The JSON response from the API call, including session details and connection status.
  • binary
    • data - Binary data of the QR code image for session connection authentication.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for WasenderAPI to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • If the session ID is not provided or invalid, the node throws an error indicating that a session is required.
  • If the API request to connect the session fails, the node may retry based on the retry options; otherwise, it throws an error.
  • If the QR code is not returned or cannot be generated, the node returns the API response without the QR code binary data.
