Summary

Send a "Typing..." indicator to a WhatsApp recipient for a specified duration using the WatZap API.

Inputs

  • Number Key (required) — Number Key of the WhatsApp account used to send the typing indicator
  • Phone Number (required) — Recipient's phone number in international format without the '+' sign, e.g. 62812xxxxxxx
  • Duration (seconds) (required) — Duration to display the typing indicator in seconds; must be greater than 0

Output shape

a list of JSON objects representing the result of each send typing action, including success status, response data from the API, timestamp, recipient phone number, operation type, and duration sent

Each output item corresponds to an input item. On success, the item includes 'success': true and API response data under 'data'; on failure, 'success': false with an error message. The 'duration' field reflects the typing indicator duration sent.

Examples

Example 1: Send a typing effect for 5 seconds to a recipient

Set 'Number Key' to your WhatsApp account key, 'Phone Number' to the recipient's phone number in international format, and 'Duration (seconds)' to 5. Each execution sends the typing state to the recipient for that duration before proceeding.
