Questions

Hello Everyone,
I am creating a simple workflow where there are four nodes,

  1. Whatsapp Trigger node
  2. Get Rows google sheet node
  3. Whatsapp send message and wait for response node
  4. Delete row google sheet node
    Its work like when I send a contact no. to the trigger workflow will check that number in google sheet and then ask for if you want to keep that number or want to delete it. But whenever the Whatsapp send message and wait for response node sending this message it is showing as clickable links but I want to be as buttons and then proceed further…
    How can I achieve that ?

The “Send & Wait for Response” node in n8n only supports plain text + links, not interactive buttons. To get WhatsApp buttons (quick replies or interactive messages), you’ll need to use the WhatsApp Cloud API directly via the HTTP Request node (or a custom integration).

Meta’s API supports:

  • Reply buttons (up to 3 options)

  • List messages (for multiple choices)

So in your case, instead of sending a plain message, use the HTTP node → call the WhatsApp Cloud API with the correct payload for interactive messages.
