Summary

Posts a text update to a WhatsApp Status using the selected session. Optional settings control the background color, font, and audience; the audience list is honored only by the Baileys engine.

Inputs

  • Session Name or ID (required) — Select a session or provide its ID.
  • Text (required) — Text to post as the status.
  • Background Color — Optional status background color; leave blank for the server default.
  • Font — WhatsApp status font index. Server Default (-1) delegates the choice to the server; supported indexes vary by engine.
  • Recipients — Optional comma-separated list, JSON array, or expression resolving to an array of recipient JIDs (@c.us or @lid; no groups), with a maximum of 256. Baileys requires and honors this audience list; whatsapp-web.js ignores it and uses the account's usual status audience.

Output shape

A single item containing the API response.

The source pack does not expose this operation's response schema, so the returned fields are unspecified.
