How It Works
The automation leverages n8n's Schedule Trigger to initiate a server restart process for WAHA at precisely midnight each day. The workflow first checks the current server status, sends a restart command to the WAHA API, and logs the maintenance activity. By implementing a systematic restart, the workflow prevents potential memory accumulation, ensures clean service initialization, and maintains optimal API performance without requiring manual intervention.
