Overview
This node allows managing WhatsApp groups via the DinastiAPI API. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing participants, and modifying group settings like name, description, photo, and locked status.
The Set Locked operation specifically enables locking or unlocking group info so that only admins can modify it. This is useful for administrators who want to restrict changes to group details, preventing regular members from editing group info.
Practical examples:
- Locking a group after setting up important info to prevent accidental changes.
- Unlocking a group temporarily to allow trusted members to update group details.
Properties

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the DinastiAPI API for the requested operation. For the Set Locked operation, the output typically contains confirmation of the lock/unlock action applied to the specified group.
The output structure is an array of JSON objects, each corresponding to an input item processed, containing the API response data.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the DinastiAPI API with valid API authentication credentials configured in n8n.
- The node depends on the external DinastiAPI service to perform WhatsApp group management actions.
Troubleshooting
- Error: Binary property "..." not found — Not applicable for this operation but may occur in other operations involving images.
- Invalid Group JID — Ensure the Group JID is correctly formatted and corresponds to an existing WhatsApp group.
- API Authentication Errors — Verify that the API key or token credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
- Network or API errors — Check network connectivity and DinastiAPI service status.
- If the node fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, error messages will be returned in the output JSON for easier debugging.
