Overview
This node enables managing WhatsApp groups through the Wuzapi API. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing invite links, joining or leaving groups, updating group settings (name, description, photo, announcement mode, ephemeral messages, locked status), and managing participants (adding, removing, promoting, demoting).
Common scenarios include automating group creation with predefined participants, updating group metadata dynamically, moderating group membership, or integrating WhatsApp group management into broader workflows.
For example, you could use this node to automatically create a new WhatsApp group for event attendees, set a welcome message, and add participants from a CRM list. Or, you might remove a group's photo as part of a privacy compliance workflow.

| Group JID | The unique identifier (JID) of the WhatsApp group to operate on. Example: 120363312246943103@g.us. Required for most group-specific operations including removing the photo. |
(Note: For the "Remove Photo" operation specifically, only the "Group JID" property is required.)
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Wuzapi API for the requested operation. This typically includes details about the group or confirmation of the performed action.
For the "Remove Photo" operation, the output confirms whether the group photo was successfully removed.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wuzapi API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on the external Wuzapi service to perform WhatsApp group management actions.
- Proper network access and valid credentials are necessary for successful API requests.
Troubleshooting
- Error: Binary property not found — Not applicable for "Remove Photo" but common in other operations involving images. Ensure the specified binary property exists in the input data.
- Invalid Group JID — If the provided group JID is incorrect or the bot/user does not have permissions, the API may return errors. Verify the group JID format and permissions.
- API Request Failures — Network issues, invalid credentials, or rate limits can cause failures. Check API key validity and network connectivity.
- Continue On Fail — If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output.
