Overview
This node integrates with the UazAPI service to manage WhatsApp groups and other related resources. Specifically, for the Group - Get Invite Link operation, it retrieves the invite link URL of a specified WhatsApp group by its unique group identifier (JID). This is useful when you want to programmatically obtain the invitation link to share or use in automation workflows.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically fetching invite links for groups to distribute them via other channels.
- Managing group invitations in bulk or as part of larger WhatsApp automation processes.
- Integrating WhatsApp group management into CRM or marketing platforms.
Example: You have a WhatsApp group for customer support and want to automatically retrieve and send the invite link to new customers via email or SMS.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group JID | The unique identifier of the WhatsApp group (JID format, e.g., 120363308883996631@g.us). Required to specify which group's invite link to retrieve. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the UazAPI endpoint that provides the invite link information for the specified group. Typically, this will include fields such as the invite URL and possibly metadata about the group or the invite status.
The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes at least:
{
"inviteLink": "https://chat.whatsapp.com/...",
"groupJid": "120363308883996631@g.us",
// ...other possible metadata fields
}
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the UazAPI service.
- Requires valid credentials configured in n8n for authenticating requests to UazAPI (an API key or token).
- The base URL for the UazAPI must be set in the credentials.
- Network access to the UazAPI endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group JID: If the provided group JID is incorrect or does not exist, the API may return an error or empty result. Verify the group JID format and existence.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API credentials are correctly configured and have permissions to access group information.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and UazAPI can cause request failures. Check network settings and firewall rules.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might be throttled by UazAPI; consider adding delays or handling rate limit errors gracefully.
- Error Messages: The node returns error messages from the API in the output JSON under an
errorfield ifcontinueOnFailis enabled. Review these messages for troubleshooting.
