Overview

This node operation sends a location message via WasenderAPI. It allows users to specify the recipient, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and optional details such as location name and address. This is useful for sharing precise location information in WhatsApp messages, for example, sending a meeting point or a place of interest to a contact or group.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a location to a contact by specifying their phone number and the coordinates of the location.
  2. Sharing a location with a group chat including a descriptive name and address for clarity.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session ID is correctly specified or auto-selected; missing session causes errors.
  • Recipient must be a valid phone number or group/channel JID; invalid format will cause failure.
  • Latitude and longitude must be valid numbers; zero or missing values may cause the message to fail.
  • Reply To Message ID must be a positive integer if used; otherwise, an error is thrown.
  • Network or API errors may occur; retry options can help mitigate transient failures.
