Overview
This node allows managing WhatsApp groups through the Wuzapi API. It supports a variety of group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing participants, changing group settings, and updating group media like photos.
A common use case is automating WhatsApp group administration tasks within workflows, for example:
- Creating a new group with specified participants.
- Changing the name or description of an existing group.
- Adding or removing participants programmatically.
- Retrieving invite links to share with others.
- Setting ephemeral message durations or locking group info.
This node is beneficial for businesses or communities that rely on WhatsApp groups and want to automate group management without manual intervention.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Wuzapi API for the performed operation. This typically includes confirmation details or the updated group information depending on the action.
No binary output is produced by the "Set Name" operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Wuzapi API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node uses internal helper functions to validate phone numbers and prepare media data.
- Network access to the Wuzapi API endpoints is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Error: Binary property not found — This error occurs if the node expects binary image data but the specified binary property is missing. For "Set Name" operation, this is not applicable.
- API request failures — Could be due to invalid group JID, insufficient permissions, or expired API credentials. Verify the group exists and the API key is valid.
- Invalid input values — Ensure the group JID and new name are correctly formatted and non-empty.
- If the node is set to continue on fail, errors will be returned in the output JSON under an
errorfield.
