Overview

This node operation allows editing an existing WhatsApp message using the Green API. It is useful when you need to update the content of a previously sent message, for example, to correct a typo or provide updated information. The user provides the chat ID, the message ID of the message to be edited, and the new message text.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating a message to fix a typo in a customer support chat.
  2. Changing the details of an appointment reminder message after rescheduling.

Properties

Message ID ID of the message to edit/delete, used to identify which message to update.
New Message The updated text for the message, which will replace the original message content.
Override Credentials Allows overriding the default API credentials (instance ID and API token) for this specific operation.

Output

JSON

  • chatId - The chat ID where the message was edited.
  • idMessage - The ID of the edited message.
  • message - The updated message text.
  • status - Status of the edit operation, e.g., success or failure.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the message ID provided is correct and corresponds to an existing message in the specified chat.
  • Verify that the API credentials (instance ID and API token) are valid and have the necessary permissions.
  • Common error messages include failures to edit the message due to invalid message ID or authentication errors. Check the error message details and the data sent for troubleshooting.
