403 while adding a participant to a group using group id and participant id

Do you have permissions in that group?

[kevinnadar22]

Yes I created the group using the API itself

@kevinnadar22 The participant you're trying to add doesn't allow you to add you to the group.

Tested it this way:

1. Created a group via API (with 1st participant)
2. Add 2nd participant (not private settings set)
3. OK
4. For 2nd participant set privacy mode as "My Contacts Except…" in Group Privacy
5. See 403 error, just as you pointed above

Nothing we can do here, it's WA who doesn't allow it https://faq.whatsapp.com/3307102709559968/?locale=en_US&cms_platform=web&cms_id=3307102709559968&draft=true

try adding the same participant on phone - you'll get an error as well and WA suggests you to send an invite

For such errors consider sending them Intive link with some short message https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/groups/#invite-code

We should work on the original "Invite" message with the button tho :thinking:

Okay thanks
