Whatsapp send and wait for response without external link

Hello everyone,

I’ve been struggling to find a way to send a message to a WhatsApp number and wait for a response directly in the app, without using any external links or platforms.

To give you some context: I’m working on a large automation project for my client, and WhatsApp will be the main communication channel for interacting with all my modules (mail manager, CRM assistant, etc.).

For some parts of the automation, I need to get quick feedback from my client. For example, after a new email is drafted, I want to ask if it’s ready to be sent. This works fine using the “send and respond” node, but I’m not fully satisfied with this solution — it’s not very user-friendly.

Has anyone here had a similar idea and successfully implemented it?

Hi, yes, it is doable to have a message with a button that when you click, it will not open an external link

But in order to achieve this, you need to call it with HTTP Request node, because currently there are no official WhatsApp nodes for this

Whatsapp/Meta/Facebook has a lot of documentation regarding this feature, one that i might suggest for you to start reading is this one

If this helps, please give like and mark my answer as solution

The op was asking for help and your response was like “read the documentation!” which is probably why he didn’t mark it as the solution.

What is obvious to some is not to others.
