Overview
This node integrates with the DinastiAPI to manage WhatsApp groups programmatically. It allows users to create new groups, retrieve group information, manage participants, update group settings such as name, description, photo, and control group modes like announce or ephemeral messages.
A common use case is automating WhatsApp group management for businesses or communities, such as creating a group for event attendees, adding participants automatically, or updating group details without manual intervention.
For example, you can create a new WhatsApp group named "My New Group" and add multiple participants by providing their phone numbers in a comma-separated list.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group Name | Name for the new group to be created. |
| Participants | Comma-separated list of phone numbers to add to the group (e.g., 5491112345678,5491123456789). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the DinastiAPI for the performed operation. For the "Create" operation, this typically includes details about the newly created group such as its identifier and metadata.
No binary data output is produced by the "Create" operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the DinastiAPI service.
- The node uses the DinastiAPI endpoints to perform group management actions.
- Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary for successful requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid phone number format: If participant phone numbers are not correctly formatted, the API may reject the request. Ensure numbers are provided in international format without spaces or special characters.
- Missing required parameters: Both "Group Name" and "Participants" are mandatory for the create operation. Omitting these will cause errors.
- API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Binary property not found: Although not relevant for "Create," other operations involving photos require correct binary data references; ensure the specified binary property exists if used.
