Overview

This node sets the profile status message for a WhatsApp session. It is useful for updating the user's status to inform contacts about their current mood, activity, or any custom message. For example, a user can set their status to "🎉 Hey there! I am using WhatsApp 🎉" to let others know they are active on WhatsApp.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating WhatsApp profile status to a custom message.
  2. Setting a status to indicate availability or mood.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The name of the WhatsApp session to use for setting the profile status.
Status The status message to set on the WhatsApp profile.
Request Options Advanced settings for the request such as batching, SSL certificate handling, proxy configuration, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • status - The updated profile status message.
  • session - The WhatsApp session name used to set the status.

Dependencies

  • Requires a WhatsApp session authentication to interact with the WhatsApp API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session name is correct and active; otherwise, the status update will fail.
  • If the status message is empty or invalid, the API may reject the request.
  • Network issues or proxy misconfiguration can cause request failures.
  • SSL certificate errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this is insecure.
