WhatsApp — Create group

Create a WhatsApp group with a title and a list of contacts, each named exactly. Returns the created group and its members. Everyone added is notified. Optionally sends a first message into the new group, which also makes it findable by name straight away for follow-up scripts.

Input

name required

Group subject (title)

members required

Contact names to add. Each name must match the contact's display name exactly.

seedMessage optional

Optional: send this text into the new group immediately after creation. WhatsApp does not index a brand-new, message-less group in its own search box until it has at least one real message, so a group created without this can be briefly unfindable by name for follow-up scripts (e.g. delete_chat, leave_group, send_message). Pass a short text here to make the group immediately searchable. Off by default — omit to skip (no extra message sent).

Output

group required
created required
members required
seedMessageSent optional

Present only if seedMessage was provided; whether it was sent without WhatsApp flagging a send failure.
