Contact → Get Phone From LID

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves the phone number associated with a given LID (Local ID) from the WasenderAPI contact resource. It is useful in scenarios where you have a LID and need to find the corresponding phone number, such as syncing contact information or validating contact details.

Use Case Examples

  1. Given a LID like '12345678901@lid', the node fetches the associated phone number from the WasenderAPI contact database.
  2. This operation can be used in workflows that manage WhatsApp contacts by linking LIDs to phone numbers.

Properties

Name Meaning
LID The Local ID (LID) string used to look up the corresponding phone number. This is a required input.
Session Optional session selection to specify which WasenderAPI session to use for the request. Can be selected from a list or by ID.
Auto Selected Session ID Automatically uses the session ID from the incoming item if available, unless overridden.

Output

JSON

  • phone - The phone number corresponding to the provided LID.
  • status - Status of the API request or contact lookup.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid or missing LID input, which will cause the API request to fail.
  • If the session is not specified and no auto-selected session ID is available in the input data, the node will throw an error indicating that a session is required.
  • API request failures due to network issues or rate limiting may occur; enabling retry options can help mitigate transient errors.
