WhatsApp API Integration – Bad request – please check your parameters

Hi all,

I’m running into a consistent issue with the WhatsApp Trigger node in n8n. Every time I try to execute the workflow, I get this error:

Hi there, welcome to the community, can you give more screenshot of the workflow, of the whatsapp trigger and the error itself

but looking from the error saying Bad Request and invalid parameters, that means there are something wrong on your side on how you configured this whatsapp trigger node

if you can give me more screenshot i can definitely help pin point the error

Hey! Thank you for your response.

I’m sharing the screenshots of the error and the workflow below. I’m currently hosting this on Node, if that helps. I’m fairly confident that I’ve set everything up correctly, as I’ve followed multiple tutorials—most of which show the same steps.

Here’s one of the video references I used:




on the recipient phone number, try without the +, so just 919…

I did try it, but it still shows the same problem: “Bad request – please check your parameters.”
WhatsApp Trigger 1: Invalid parameter.
The WhatsApp trigger is set to “On Message.”

and just to make sure, if your facebook/meta app is still on testing, you need to add this recipient phone number as a test users in your app

have you also done that?

When I tried to add test users in the app, it showed a message (as seen in the screenshot).
What I did was go to Roles and add the user from there (as shown in the screenshot).
However, it still didn’t work — in the recipient number field, I used the phone number that is linked to the test user’s Facebook account.
But it still says “Bad parameter” for some reason.
