Overview

This node operation sends a video message via the WasenderAPI. It allows users to specify the recipient, video URL, optional text, and message options such as replying to a specific message or mentioning group members. It supports additional features like marking the video as 'view once' so the recipient can only view it a single time. This operation is useful for automating video message delivery in WhatsApp sessions, for example, sending promotional videos, tutorials, or personal video messages to contacts or groups.

Use Case Examples

  1. Send a promotional video to a customer with a personalized text message.
  2. Send a tutorial video to a group with mentions to specific participants.
  3. Send a video that can only be viewed once to ensure privacy.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the video URL is accessible and points to a valid video file format supported by WhatsApp.
  • Verify the recipient identifier is correctly formatted (phone number with country code, group JID, or channel JID).
  • If the message fails to send, check the session ID is valid and the session is active.
  • For 'Reply To Message ID', ensure the ID is a positive integer and corresponds to an existing message.
  • If API rate limits or server errors occur, the node supports retry options which can be configured to handle transient failures.
