Overview
This node enables sending various types of WhatsApp messages through the Wuzapi service, optimized for AI workflows. It supports sending text, images, documents, audio, video, locations, contacts, stickers, buttons, lists, and polls to specified phone numbers.
A common use case is automating customer communication or notifications via WhatsApp, such as sending interactive button messages to users for quick responses or providing multimedia content like images or documents. For example, a business could send a message with buttons to let customers choose support options directly within WhatsApp.
The "Send Buttons" operation specifically allows sending a text message accompanied by interactive buttons, enhancing user engagement and enabling quick replies.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting
- Binary Property Not Found: If using binary data sources for media (not applicable for Send Buttons), errors may occur if the specified binary property does not exist in the input data.
- Invalid Phone Number Format: Ensure the phone number is in international format without the "+" prefix; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
- Unknown Operation Error: Occurs if an unsupported operation value is set; verify that "sendButtons" is correctly selected.
- Mention Configuration Issues: When specifying mentions, ensure user JIDs are correctly formatted and comma-separated.
