Overview
This node is designed to retrieve contact information from a WhatsApp API service. It is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to fetch details about a specific contact by their contact ID within a given session. For example, it can be used in customer support workflows to pull up contact details before responding to a query or in marketing automation to personalize messages based on contact data.
Use Case Examples
- Fetching contact details by providing a session token and a contact ID to integrate with a CRM system.
- Retrieving contact information to verify user identity in an automated support chatbot.

| Contact Id | The unique identifier of the contact to retrieve information for, typically in the format of a WhatsApp contact number with domain suffix. |
| Request Options | Additional options to control the request behavior such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout duration. |
Output
