Channel → Transfer Ownership

AI-generated

Summary

Transfers a WhatsApp Channel to a new owner. Select the session and channel, then enter the new owner’s account ID; a bare phone number is accepted and qualified by the server. This operation works with the Baileys engine and returns the API response.

Inputs

  • Session Name or ID (required) — Session that follows the channel.
  • Channel Name or ID (required) — Channel ID, typically in the form 1234567890@newsletter. The dropdown is populated only when using whatsapp-web.js; on Baileys, supply the ID directly, such as with an expression.
  • New Owner ID (required) — Account ID to transfer ownership to. A bare phone number is accepted and qualified by the server.

Output shape

A single item containing the API response.

Requires the Baileys engine; whatsapp-web.js returns HTTP 501. The channel picker may remain empty on Baileys, so provide the channel ID directly.
