Overview

This node operation deletes a specific message in a WhatsApp session using the WasenderAPI. It is useful for scenarios where you need to programmatically remove messages, such as cleaning up chat history or retracting sent messages. For example, you can delete a message by providing its Message ID within a selected session.

Use Case Examples

  1. Delete a message by specifying the Message ID and session to remove unwanted or incorrect messages from a chat.
  2. Automate message deletion in workflows that manage WhatsApp communications.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • json - The JSON response from the WasenderAPI after deleting the message, typically confirming the deletion status.

Dependencies

  • WasenderAPI service with API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Message ID is provided and is a positive integer; otherwise, the node will throw an error indicating the Message ID is required.
  • Verify that the session ID is correctly selected or provided, as the operation requires a valid session context.
  • If the API returns errors like 408, 429, 500, 502, or 503, the node can retry requests based on the configured retry options; adjust these settings if persistent failures occur.
