Visual workflows, no code. Real-time triggers (message, keyword, schedule), native actions (send, book, qualify, transfer) and +400 n8n integrations. Compatible with Cloud and self-hosted. Included on every plan.
If you already use n8n, this is what changes with the plugin built and maintained by Wazzap.
Community n8n plugins for WhatsApp break often — WhatsApp updates, n8n breaking changes, abandoned maintenance. Your workflow runs today, fails tomorrow without warning.
Built and maintained by our team. When WhatsApp or n8n ships updates, we patch before it hits customers. Proven stability in production with 40k+ daily messages.
Generic plugins only let you send messages. For advanced actions (book, qualify, move pipeline, launch bulk, transfer) you end up building custom nodes or using generic HTTP requests.
Complete catalog: triggers (message, keyword, schedule, CRM event), actions (send, book, tag, transfer, export, launch bulk, call AI). All plug-and-play, nothing to build.
Community plugins use polling: they check WhatsApp every N minutes for new messages. The lag between message arriving and workflow firing can be several minutes.
The official plugin uses Wazzap webhooks. Message arrives → trigger fires in under 1 second. Your customer doesn't wait, your workflow runs instantly.
Triggers: message received, keyword, new number, schedule, CRM event. Actions: send message/audio/image, book, tag, transfer, export, call AI, launch bulk. All configured from the n8n UI.
Combine WhatsApp with the full n8n catalog: Google Sheets, Stripe, Shopify, Calendly, Notion, Slack, Postgres, Airtable. WhatsApp stops being a silo and connects to your whole stack.
Works identically on n8n Cloud (n8n.cloud) or on your self-hosted instance (Docker, Kubernetes, bare metal). The plugin installs from the official n8n catalog on either option.
Every node handles automatic retries with exponential backoff. If an action fails (timeout, rate limit, error), it retries without you building it. Detailed logs of every run for debugging.
No code, no webhook plumbing, no schema building.
From the n8n catalog (Cloud or self-hosted) search "Wazzap" and install it. Paste your Wazzap API key. The 20+ nodes show up immediately.
Drag a trigger (message received, keyword, schedule), connect Wazzap action nodes + nodes from your other tools (Sheets, Stripe, etc.), add conditions if needed. Preview with real data.
Activate the workflow and start processing events in real time. Detailed logs of every run. Automatic retries. Configurable alerts via email or Slack if something breaks.
"I tried Zapier for this and it cost me $79/mo just in WhatsApp tasks — and each step took 5-10 min. I migrated to n8n with the official Wazzap plugin: instant execution and zero cost."
"I have 14 workflows running in production combining WhatsApp + Stripe + Sheets + HighLevel. 6 months without a single broken workflow — the official plugin is rock solid."
"Of the 12 marketers I know who automate WhatsApp, 10 use Wazzap. The n8n integration is what separates Wazzap from ManyChat or Landbot — real flexibility."
3 ways to get WhatsApp into n8n — compared with data.

| Number of nodes | 20+ native | 2-5 generic | Whatever you build |
| Maintenance | ✓ Wazzap maintains it | Volatile (community) | Your team |
| Real-time triggers | ✓ Webhooks <1s | Polling 1-15 min | What you build |
| Advanced actions (book, transfer) | ✓ Built-in | You build them | You build them |
| Retries and error handling | ✓ Built-in | Limited | You build it |
| Cloud + self-hosted | ✓ Both | Plugin dependent | Wherever you host |
| Compatibility with n8n updates | ✓ Tested before release | Variable | Your team |
| Official support | ✓ Wazzap team | Community forum | Your team |
When to use community plugins? For super specific cases where you need logic the official plugin doesn't cover. But for 95% of cases (CRM sync, AI, bulk, automation), the official plugin is the right call.
All these integrations come included in the same plan.

See plans and pricingThe official plugin is free. n8n has 2 options: Cloud (free plan for light usage, ~$20/mo for production) or self-host (free). For serious volumes we recommend self-host for cost.
Yes, identically. The plugin installs from the official n8n catalog on either option. Self-hosted gives you more control and unlimited volume, Cloud saves you maintenance.
Wazzap imposes no limits. n8n Cloud has limits per plan (5k-50k+ executions/mo). Self-hosted is unlimited, only capped by your server.
Message received, keyword detected, new number, message unread for X time, CRM event (HighLevel/Chatwoot), specific schedule (cron), external webhook. Combinable with AND/OR conditions.
Yes. Beyond the 20+ native nodes, you can use n8n's "HTTP Request" node to call any endpoint of our API. You can also build custom nodes in JavaScript inside n8n.
Configurable automatic retries (attempts, delays, backoff). If it keeps failing after retries, it stays in the log with the exact error. Optional alerts via email/Slack for critical failures.
Yes, we have a library of pre-built workflows for common cases: welcome + qualification, cart recovery, appointment reminder, nurturing sequences, etc. Import, tweak data and activate.
