AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with WhatsApp via the Wappfy API, enabling automation of various WhatsApp group management tasks. Specifically, the Group - Get Participants operation retrieves the list of participants in a specified WhatsApp group.
Use cases include:
- Fetching current members of a WhatsApp group for monitoring or reporting.
- Automating workflows that depend on group membership data.
- Integrating group participant information into CRM or communication platforms.
Example: Automatically retrieve and process the list of participants from a sales team WhatsApp group to update contact lists or trigger notifications.
Properties

|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group whose participants you want to retrieve. |
Output
The output is a JSON array containing participant details of the specified group. Each item in the array represents a participant object with properties as returned by the Wappfy API's /groups/{groupId}/participants endpoint.
The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes participant IDs and possibly roles or statuses within the group.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Wappfy API credential with a valid API key and instance name configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Wappfy API base URL using these credentials.
- Network access to the Wappfy API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group ID: If the provided Group ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Verify the Group ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API key or instance name will cause authentication failures. Ensure credentials are properly set up.
- API Rate Limits or Downtime: Temporary failures may occur if the Wappfy API is rate-limited or down. Retry after some time.
- Permission Issues: The authenticated session must have permission to access the group's participant list.
Common error messages:
"error": "Group not found"— Check the Group ID."error": "Unauthorized"— Verify API credentials.- Network errors — Confirm connectivity to the API endpoint.
