Overview

The Quepasa (Whatsapp) node's "Message: Find" operation allows you to retrieve information about a specific WhatsApp message using its unique Message ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to look up the status, content, or metadata of a previously sent or received message in your WhatsApp bot integration.

Common use cases:

  • Checking the delivery/read status of a message.
  • Fetching message details for logging or auditing.
  • Retrieving message content for further processing or conditional workflows.

Example:
You have an automated workflow that sends messages via WhatsApp and later needs to verify if a particular message was delivered or read by the recipient.

Properties

Display Name Type Description
Authentication options Select how to provide credentials: either manually ("Parameters") or via predefined n8n credentials.

Token string The token for your WhatsApp bot. Required if using manual parameters.
Message ID string The unique identifier of the message you want to find.

Note: "BaseUrl" and "Token" are only required when "Authentication" is set to "Parameters".

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the found message. While the exact structure depends on the Quepasa API response, typical fields may include:

{
  "id": "string",            // Unique message ID
  "from": "string",          // Sender's number or ID
  "to": "string",            // Recipient's number or ID
  "timestamp": "string",     // When the message was sent
  "status": "string",        // Delivery/read status
  "type": "string",          // Message type (e.g., text, image)
  "body": "string",          // Content of the message
  // ...other metadata fields as provided by the API
}

No binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Quepasa WhatsApp API.
  • API Credentials: You must provide a valid API token and base URL, or configure predefined credentials in n8n.
  • n8n Configuration: If using predefined credentials, ensure the "Quepasa Token Auth API" credential is set up in n8n.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid Token or BaseUrl:
    Error message: Authentication failed or similar.
    Resolution: Double-check your token and base URL. Ensure they match your Quepasa account settings.

  • Message Not Found:
    Error message: Message not found or similar.
    Resolution: Verify the Message ID is correct and exists in your WhatsApp bot history.

  • Network/Connection Errors:
    Error message: Request failed with status code ...
    Resolution: Ensure your n8n instance can reach the Quepasa API endpoint and there are no firewall issues.

  • Missing Required Fields:
    Error message: Parameter 'Message ID' is required
    Resolution: Make sure all required properties are filled in.
