What you can automate

What can the GREEN-API for WhatsApp Make integration do?

The GREEN-API for WhatsApp Make integration links a WhatsApp number, through your GREEN-API account, to Make, a visual tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a single step such as a trigger, an action or a search. Messages, files, groups and statuses become steps you can chain without writing code.

An instant acknowledgment for every customer. Watch Incoming Webhooks starts the scenario when a message reaches your number, and Send a Message answers in the same chat. A small online shop can confirm it received the question before anyone on the team reads it.

A quote that only goes to real WhatsApp users. Check Whatsapp tells you whether a phone number has a WhatsApp account, then Send a File By Url delivers the PDF. A sales team avoids sending documents into the void and can fall back to email for the rest.

A client group opened for each new project. Create a Group, Add a Participant to a Group and Set a Group Admin build the shared chat the moment a deal is won in your CRM, so an agency project manager never has to set it up by hand.

What the integration does not include: there is no Make an API Call module for GREEN-API, so anything outside the 44 modules needs another app or custom help. The doc gives no numeric limits, but WhatsApp itself decides how long files stay downloadable. If you are also weighing n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, the Make training covers the editor step by step, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect GREEN-API for WhatsApp to Make?

  1. 01

    Create an instance in GREEN-API

    Log in to your GREEN-API account, click Instances in the left sidebar, then Create an instance and pick a tariff. Once it exists, copy the idInstance and the apiTokenInstance and keep them somewhere safe: Make will ask for both.

  2. 02

    Link your WhatsApp phone

    Still on the instance page, scroll down and click Get QR. On your phone, open WhatsApp, go to Settings, then Linked devices, tap Link device and scan the code. Your number is now tied to the instance.

  3. 03

    Add the connection in Make

    In a scenario, add any GREEN-API for WhatsApp module and click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app. Paste the two values into ID Instance and API Token Instance, click Save, and confirm access if asked.

First scenario

Your first scenario: auto-reply to incoming WhatsApp messages

GoalWhen a customer writes to your WhatsApp number, Make sends a short acknowledgment back into the same chat.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. Search for GREEN-API for WhatsApp and choose Watch Incoming Webhooks as the first module.

  2. 02

    Connect the account

    Click Create a connection, paste your ID Instance and API Token Instance, then save. The trigger now listens to messages that arrive on the linked number.

  3. 03

    Add the reply

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Send a Message. Map the chat from the trigger's bundle, the item it passes along, and write your acknowledgment text.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then send a message to your number from another phone. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles they received and check the reply landed.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    Turn the scenario on. Because the trigger is instant, there is no interval to set: GREEN-API calls Make as soon as a message arrives, and every module run counts as one operation on your plan.

Triggers

What starts a GREEN-API for WhatsApp scenario

2 modules start a scenario when something happens in GREEN-API for WhatsApp. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by GREEN-API for WhatsApp as soon as it happens.

GREEN-API for WhatsApp1Watch Incoming Webhooks

Watch Incoming Webhooks

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when there's incomingMessage webhook.

Every message someone sends to your WhatsApp number can start the scenario, carrying the message into the next modules as a bundle. It reacts to incoming messages only, which makes it the natural starting point for replies, routing and logging.

How it fires
instant. GREEN-API calls Make through a webhook as soon as the message arrives, so nothing waits for a schedule.
When to use it
a support or sales number where each new customer message should be answered, copied into a CRM or sent to the right colleague.
Watch out
each incoming message is one bundle, and each module after the trigger spends one operation on it. A busy number adds up quickly on your plan.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp2Watch All Messages Webhooks

Watch All Messages Webhooks

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when there's a message webhook.

This trigger takes a wider view than Watch Incoming Webhooks: it starts the scenario on message webhooks in general, not only the ones about incoming messages. Pick it when the scenario must see the whole conversation flow of the account.

How it fires
instant. GREEN-API calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens.
When to use it
keeping a fuller log of a shared business number in a spreadsheet or a database than incoming messages alone would give you.
Watch out
before chaining a Send module after it, click Run once and look at which bundles arrive, so a message your scenario sends does not start another run.
Modules

Everything GREEN-API for WhatsApp can do in Make

GREEN-API for WhatsApp gives you 42 modules in 9 groups. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Send

8 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp1

Send a Message

Action

In MakeSends a text message. The message will be added to the send queue. Linked device not required when sending. Messages will be kept for 24 hours in the queue until account will be authorized. The rate at which messages are sent from the queue is managed by Message sending delay parameter.

Your scenario can drop a text into any WhatsApp chat, whether it confirms an order or reminds a patient of an appointment. GREEN-API adds it to a send queue and delivers it at the pace set by its Message sending delay parameter.

When to use it
a plain-text notice triggered by an event elsewhere, like an invoice marked paid in your billing tool.
Watch out
the queue keeps a message 24 hours while it waits for the account to be authorized.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp2

Send a File By Url

Action

In MakeSends a file uploaded by URL. Adds message to send queue. Keeps message for 24 hours in queue. Sends message after phone authorization. Manages message sending rate with delay parameter.

A document that already lives online, a PDF quote or a product photo, reaches the chat as a real attachment instead of a bare link. You give the module the address of the file and GREEN-API queues it like a text.

When to use it
files stored in a cloud drive or returned with a public link by an earlier module.
Watch out
like texts, it only stays 24 hours in the queue until the phone is authorized.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp3

Send a File By Upload

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for sending a file uploaded by form (form-data).

Here the file itself travels from the scenario to the chat, with no link involved. It suits the moment when a previous module hands you the file content, such as an attachment pulled from an email or a PDF generated one step earlier.

When to use it
the file has no public address, or you would rather not publish one.
Watch out
on the Make Free plan, files are capped at 5 MB.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp4

Upload a FIle

Action

In MakeThe method is designed to upload a file to the cloud storage, which can be sent using the sendFileByUrl method.

Think of this module as a staging area: it stores a file in GREEN-API's cloud storage, ready to be sent afterwards with Send a File By Url. Upload once, then map what it returns into the sending module.

When to use it
the same brochure or price list goes out to many contacts and you want a single stored copy.
Watch out
the name really shows as Upload a FIle in Make, so search for it exactly like that.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp5

Send a Contact

Action

In MakeSends a contact message. A contact visit card is created and sent to a chat. The message is added to the send queue. Linked device is not required when sending. Messages are kept for 24 hours in the queue until the account is authorized. The rate at which messages are sent from the queue is managed by the Message sending delay parameter.

The recipient gets a contact card in the chat, with a name and a number they no longer have to copy by hand. Handy when a sales rep passes a lead to a colleague or a clinic shares its emergency line.

When to use it
a handover step, right after a deal changes owner in your CRM.
Watch out
sending needs no linked device, yet the card waits in the queue for 24 hours at most until the account is authorized.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp6

Send a Location Message

Action

In MakeSends a location message. The message is added to the send queue. No linked device required. Messages are kept for 24 hours until account authorization. Message sending delay parameter manages the rate of sending.

Instead of typing out an address, the scenario posts a location message, so the person sees the place itself in the conversation. A delivery company can share the pickup point, an event organizer the venue.

When to use it
a booking confirmed in your calendar tool that needs a meeting place attached.
Watch out
it goes through the same queue as texts, and Show a Messages Queue tells you whether it is still waiting there.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp7

Send a Poll

Action

In MakeThis method is intended for sending messages with a poll to a private or group chat.

Put a question with ready-made answers into a private chat or a group, and people reply by picking an option instead of writing a message. It keeps quick decisions inside WhatsApp, where the team already talks.

When to use it
choosing a date for a workshop, asking customers which slot suits them, or collecting a quick opinion from a volunteer group after a new sign-up.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp8

Forward Messages

Action

In MakeThe method is intended for forwarding messages to a personal or group chat.

Messages already sitting in one chat move to another personal or group chat, untouched. Nobody rewrites the customer's words, so the context arrives exactly as it was written.

When to use it
a request lands on the support number and has to reach the technical team's group.
Watch out
the module needs the messages to forward, so place Watch All Messages Webhooks or Get Chat History before it.

Journal

4 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp9

Get Chat History

Search

In MakeThe method returns the chat message history.

Pulls back the messages of one chat so the rest of the scenario can read them: to archive a conversation into a spreadsheet, or to hand it to a summarizing step before a ticket is closed.

When to use it
a support case is marked resolved and the full exchange should be stored with it.
Watch out
as a search, it returns one bundle per message, and every following module runs, and counts an operation, for each of them.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp10

Get a Message

Search

In MakeThe method returns the chat message.

When you already know which message you need, this search fetches that single one from its chat, with nothing else around it. It is the precise tool, where Get Chat History is the wide net.

When to use it
an earlier step pointed at one message and the scenario must read its content before deciding what to do next.
Watch out
for a whole conversation, Get Chat History fits better.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp11

Get Last Outgoing Messages

Search

In MakeThe method returns the last outgoing messages of the account. In the default mode the last messages for 24 hours are returned.

Gives you a recap of what the account sent recently, by default everything from the last 24 hours. Useful to prove a notice went out, or to recover the link of a file you shared.

When to use it
after a campaign scenario, to log what was delivered, or right before Download a File, which needs that link for outgoing files.
Watch out
one bundle comes back per message, so filter early.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp12

Get Last Incoming Messages

Search

In MakeRetrieves the last incoming messages of an account. In the default mode the incoming messages for 24 hours are returned.

Returns the messages that reached the account, by default over the last 24 hours, as separate bundles. It also carries the links to incoming files, which Download a File can then fetch.

When to use it
a catch-up pass when you prefer a search over an instant trigger.
Watch out
if Watch Incoming Webhooks already processes each message, running both on the same number can handle one message twice.

Groups

9 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp13

Create a Group

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for creating a group chat.

A brand new WhatsApp group chat appears, created by the scenario rather than by someone tapping through the app. The group is ready for the next modules to name, decorate and fill.

When to use it
a deal is signed in your CRM and the project needs a shared chat with the client from day one.
Watch out
finish the setup in the same run with Set a Group Picture and Add a Participant to a Group.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp14

Update a Group Name

Action

In MakeChanges a group chat name.

Renames an existing group chat so its title matches what is happening now. Members see the new name without anyone changing it by hand.

When to use it
a project moves from quote to production and the group title should carry the new stage, or a customer company changes its name in your CRM.
Watch out
keep a stable reference to the group in your records, since the visible name is the part that changes.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp15

Set a Group Picture

Action

In MakeThe method sets a group picture.

Applies an image to a group chat, which makes a client group easy to spot among dozens of conversations. A logo or a project visual does the job.

When to use it
right after Create a Group, so every group your scenario opens looks consistent with your brand.
Watch out
the picture has to come from an earlier module, a file fetched from your drive for instance, so plan that step first.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp16

Get a Group Data

Action

In MakeThe method gets group chat data.

Reads the information of a group chat and passes it along, so the scenario knows what the group looks like before touching it. Make lists it as an action, even though it only reads.

When to use it
before adding or removing someone, to check the group you target is the right one, or to copy group details into a project sheet.
Watch out
use Run once to see what it returns before mapping it.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp17

Add a Participant to a Group

Action

In MakeThe method adds a participant to a group chat.

Brings a new person into a group chat automatically, the moment your records say they belong there. No admin has to open the phone to do it.

When to use it
a new hire starts, a student enrolls in a cohort, or a client adds a colleague to the project in your CRM.
Watch out
run Check Whatsapp first, so you do not try to add a number with no WhatsApp account behind it.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp18

Remove a Group Participant

Action

In MakeThe method removes a participant from a group chat.

Takes a member out of a group chat when they should no longer read it. It keeps access tidy without relying on someone remembering to do it.

When to use it
a contract ends, a subscription is cancelled, or an employee leaves the team in your HR tool.
Watch out
the person loses the conversation from that point, so trigger it on a clear event, not on a record that is still being edited.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp19

Leave a Group

Action

In MakeThe method makes the current account user leave the group chat.

Your connected WhatsApp account itself walks out of a group chat. The group keeps living for the others, but your business number stops receiving its messages.

When to use it
a project is closed and the company number no longer needs to follow the client group.
Watch out
this concerns the account behind the connection, not another member; to remove someone else, Remove a Group Participant is the module.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp20

Set a Group Admin

Action

In MakeThe method sets a group chat participant as an administrator.

Promotes a participant to administrator of a group chat, so they can manage it without asking you. The group gets a local owner the moment it is created.

When to use it
the project lead named in your CRM should run the client group, or a team captain takes over a sports club chat.
Watch out
the person must already be a member, so place Add a Participant to a Group before this step.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp21

Remove an Admin

Action

In MakeThe method removes a participant from group chat administration rights.

Withdraws administrator rights from a group participant while keeping them in the chat. They still read and write, but no longer manage the group.

When to use it
a project lead hands over to a colleague, and the rights should follow the change recorded in your tools.
Watch out
to take the person out of the group entirely, pair it with Remove a Group Participant.

Queue

2 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp22

Show a Messages Queue

Search

In MakeRetrieves a list of messages in the queue. Messages sending rate is managed by Messages sending delay parameter.

Lists the messages still waiting to be sent, so you can see what is stuck before a customer complains. Each item comes back as its own bundle, and the sending pace depends on the Message sending delay parameter.

When to use it
a monitoring scenario that warns you when messages pile up after a large send.
Watch out
a queued message only stays 24 hours while the account is not authorized.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp23

Clear a Messages Queue

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for clearing the queue of messages to be sent.

Empties the queue of messages that have not left yet. It is your emergency brake when a scenario sent the wrong text to a whole list.

When to use it
in a small scenario you run by hand with Run once the moment you spot a mistake.
Watch out
it wipes every waiting message, not only the faulty ones, so look at Show a Messages Queue before you pull the brake.

Statuses

4 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp24

Send a Text Status

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for sending a text status.

Publishes a text status on the account, the short update contacts see in their Status tab. Your scenario can post it the moment there is news to share.

When to use it
a shop announces new opening hours, or a restaurant posts the dish of the day as soon as it is entered in your menu sheet.
Watch out
keep the text short and self-explanatory, since contacts read it out of any conversation.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp25

Send a Voice Status

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for sending a voice status.

Posts an audio recording as a status, for updates that sound more personal spoken than written. The file comes from an earlier step in the scenario.

When to use it
a coach shares a voice note with the week's advice, or a local business greets its customers after a recording lands in a shared folder.
Watch out
check that the previous module passes an audio file, not a link to a page.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp26

Send a Media Status

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for sending a pictures or video status.

Puts a picture or a video in the account's status, visible to your contacts without sending anyone a message. Visual news reaches people who never open a chat with you.

When to use it
a new product photo is approved in your catalog, or a real estate agent publishes a fresh listing visual.
Watch out
it accepts pictures and videos; for plain text, Send a Text Status is the right module.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp27

Delete a Status

Action

In MakeThe method for deleting status.

Removes a status the account published, so an outdated promotion or a wrong announcement disappears from your contacts' view.

When to use it
an offer ends in your e-commerce tool and the matching status should go with it, or a status was posted by mistake.
Watch out
a deletion cannot be taken back, so trigger it on a reliable event and test it with Run once on a status you do not need.

Service

9 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp28

Check Whatsapp

Action

In MakeChecks a WhatsApp account availability on a phone number.

Tells you whether a phone number has a WhatsApp account before you try to reach it. The answer lets the scenario take one road or another.

When to use it
a lead form collects a number, and you want WhatsApp for those who have it and email for everyone else, with a filter after this module.
Watch out
use it before group additions too, to avoid failed Add a Participant to a Group runs.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp29

Get an Avatar

Action

In MakeRetrieves a user or a group chat avatar.

Fetches the profile picture of a user or of a group chat, so your other tools can show a face next to a name. A small touch that makes a CRM or helpdesk record easier to recognize.

When to use it
a new contact writes in and you create their card in your CRM with their WhatsApp picture.
Watch out
plan for a contact or a group without a picture, so the next module still works when nothing comes back.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp30

Get the Contacts

Search

In MakeThe method is aimed for getting a list of the current account contacts.

Retrieves the list of contacts of the connected account, one bundle per contact. It is the starting point for syncing the address book of a business phone with another tool.

When to use it
filling a spreadsheet or a CRM with everyone the company number already knows.
Watch out
a long list means many bundles, and every module that follows spends one operation for each contact.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp31

Get a Contact Info

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for getting information on a contact.

Reads the details WhatsApp holds on one contact, where Get the Contacts brings back the whole list. You aim at a single person and get their information for the next steps.

When to use it
a message arrives from an unknown number and the scenario should enrich the record before routing it to sales or support.
Watch out
check the output with Run once before mapping fields you expect.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp32

Delete a Message

Action

In MakeThe method deletes a message from a chat. To delete a message, you should use the original idMessage.

Removes a message from a chat, for instance a text sent with the wrong price or to the wrong customer. The module targets it through the original idMessage.

When to use it
a correction scenario, fired when someone flags an error in the tool that sent the message.
Watch out
without the original idMessage the module cannot find the message, so store that identifier when you send.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp33

Edit a Message

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for editing the text message into a personal or a group chat.

Changes the text of a message already sent in a personal or group chat, so a typo or an outdated detail gets fixed where people read it.

When to use it
a delivery slot changes after the confirmation went out, and the original message should show the new one rather than a second text.
Watch out
it edits text messages; a file or a poll needs another approach, such as Delete a Message then a new send.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp34

Unarchive a Chat

Action

In MakeThe method unarchives a chat.

Moves a chat out of the archive and back into the main list, where the team will see it again. Useful when a dormant conversation comes back to life.

When to use it
a former customer reopens a ticket in your helpdesk, and their WhatsApp chat should return to the visible list.
Watch out
it pairs with Archive a Chat; plan which event archives and which one brings the chat back.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp35

Set a Disappearing Chat

Action

In MakeSetDisappearingChatDescription

Going by its name, this module applies the disappearing messages setting to a chat, so the scenario can change that option instead of someone on the phone. The official doc gives no further detail about it.

When to use it
a conversation that should not keep its history, set up at the moment the chat starts.
Watch out
test it with Run once on a test chat to see exactly what it changes.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp36

Read a Chat

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for marking messages in a chat as read. Either all messages or a specified message in a chat can be marked as read.

Marks messages as read, either the whole chat or one given message. Your scenario can clear the unread badge once it has handled a request.

When to use it
an automatic answer was sent and the message is logged in your helpdesk, so the phone should not show it as pending anymore.
Watch out
mark a chat as read only once the request is really handled, otherwise the team loses its reminder that something is pending.

Settings

4 modules
GREEN-API for WhatsApp37

Get the Settings

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for getting the current account settings.

Reads the current settings of the GREEN-API account and hands them to the next module. A quick way to know how the instance is configured before changing anything.

When to use it
a health-check scenario that records the configuration in a sheet, or a step right before Set the Settings to keep a copy of the old values.
Watch out
use Run once to read what comes back.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp38

Set the Settings

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for setting account settings.

Writes new settings on the GREEN-API account from the scenario. It lets you adjust the instance without logging in to the GREEN-API console.

When to use it
several instances should share the same configuration, and a scenario applies it to each of them from a reference sheet.
Watch out
run Get the Settings first and save the result, so you can restore the previous values if the new ones misbehave.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp39

Set a Profile Picture

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed for setting an account picture.

Changes the picture of the connected account, the image every contact sees next to your business name. The new file comes from an earlier module.

When to use it
a seasonal logo goes live, or a rebrand is approved in your design tool and the WhatsApp profile should follow without delay.
Watch out
it changes the account's own picture; for a group, Set a Group Picture is the right choice.
GREEN-API for WhatsApp40

Get Wa Settings

Action

In MakeThe method is aimed to get information about the WhatsApp account

Returns information about the WhatsApp account linked to the instance, as opposed to Get the Settings, which covers the GREEN-API side. Two different layers, two modules.

When to use it
checking which WhatsApp account an instance is tied to before a large send, or documenting several business numbers in a sheet.
Watch out
use Run once to see which details it returns before mapping them.

Receiving

1 module
GREEN-API for WhatsApp41

Download a File

Action

In MakeDownloads incoming and outgoing files. The method is aimed for downloading incoming and outgoing files. Links to incoming files are transmitted in Incoming messages, and you can also get them using LastIncomingMessages method. You can get links to outgoing files using LastOutgoingMessages method. Files storage period and, accordingly, the capability to download them is limited by WhatsApp.

Fetches the actual file behind a WhatsApp message, a photo, a PDF or a voice note, so the next module can store it, attach it or pass it along. It covers files you received and files you sent.

When to use it
a customer sends a scanned invoice to your support number and you want a copy outside WhatsApp; the link comes from the incoming message or from Get Last Incoming Messages.
Watch out
WhatsApp only keeps files for a limited time, so an old link may no longer download.

Other modules

1 module
GREEN-API for WhatsApp42

Archive a Chat

Action

In MakeThe method archives a chat. One can archive chats that have at least one incoming message.

Moves a conversation out of the main chat list and into the archive, without deleting a single message.

When to use it

Watch out
only a chat with at least one incoming message can be archived, so a thread you started and nobody answered stays put.

FAQ

GREEN-API for WhatsApp and Make: common questions

01Is the GREEN-API for WhatsApp Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side: GREEN-API for WhatsApp is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a scheduled run every 15 minutes at the shortest, 5 minutes of execution, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lift the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. GREEN-API is a separate account: you pick a tariff when you create your instance, and that choice is made with GREEN-API, not in Make.
02What do you need to connect GREEN-API for WhatsApp to Make?
A GREEN-API account with an instance. Create it from the Instances menu, choose a tariff, then copy the idInstance and the apiTokenInstance. Link your phone by clicking Get QR and scanning the code in WhatsApp under Settings, Linked devices, Link device. In Make, click Create a connection on any GREEN-API for WhatsApp module, paste the two values into ID Instance and API Token Instance, and save. Confirm access if Make asks you to.
03Do GREEN-API for WhatsApp triggers in Make work in real time?
Yes. Both triggers, Watch Incoming Webhooks and Watch All Messages Webhooks, are instant: GREEN-API calls Make through a webhook as soon as a message event happens, and the scenario starts right away instead of waiting for its schedule. The first one only reacts to incoming messages, the second to message webhooks in general. Each event becomes one bundle, and every module that processes it counts as one operation on your Make plan.
04What if a GREEN-API for WhatsApp module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on the gap. The app has 44 modules but no Make an API Call module, so you cannot send a custom request to GREEN-API from inside the app. Check first whether a combination of existing modules covers the need, such as Upload a FIle followed by Send a File By Url. Otherwise, another app in Make may do the job, or the team can study a tailored setup with you. The doc lists no numeric limit to work around.
05Should you use Make or n8n for GREEN-API for WhatsApp?
It depends on your criteria. In Make, GREEN-API for WhatsApp gives you 44 ready modules, 2 instant triggers and a visual editor where each step is a module you configure without code, available from the Free plan. n8n often offers a node for the same app, so compare the actions each one covers for your use case, the way you like to build, and how each tool counts usage. Test the exact workflow you need on both before deciding.
