Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a WhatsApp group named 'Project Team' with participants' chat IDs to facilitate project communication.
  2. Automating the creation of a customer support group with multiple support agents added automatically.

Output

JSON

  • groupId - The unique identifier of the created WhatsApp group.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided chat IDs for participants are valid WhatsApp chat identifiers in the correct format (e.g., 972501234567@c.us).
