Whatsapp send to connected number?

Questions
1

I haven’t found a clear confirmation of what I want to do:

I want to be able to send a message to connected Whatsapp numbers as Zapier provides, I’m NOT talking about Whatsapp Business but sending messages to connected numbers.

Is that possible with n8n or should I stay on Zapier?

Thank you!

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @damiencasoni

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :tada:

So the limitation actually comes from the WhatsApps API itself and it should be the same for Zapier, which is intended for business communications only.

The meta platform consists of three primary APIs:

  • Cloud API, hosted by Meta
  • On-Premises API (which you must host)
  • Business Management API

To send and receive messages to and from WhatsApp users, you must use either Cloud API or the On-Premises API.

n8n supports the Cloud API.

For personal messaging automation on WhatsApp, you might need to explore other solutions that may involve custom development or different messaging platforms that allow such integrations.
For those you can easily use our HTTP request node.
