Evolution API

Interact with Evolution API

Actions64

Overview

This node interacts with the Evolution API to perform various operations on different resources. Specifically, for the "Grupo" resource and the "Atualizar Descrição Do Grupo" operation, it updates the description of a specified group within an instance. This is useful in scenarios where group metadata needs to be kept current, such as updating group information in messaging or collaboration platforms.

Practical example: You have a group chat for a project team, and you want to update its description to reflect new goals or status updates programmatically via n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Nome Da Instância The name of the instance where the group description will be updated.
ID Do Grupo The unique identifier of the group whose description is to be updated.
Nova Descrição The new description text that will be set for the group.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the update operation. The exact structure depends on the Evolution API response but generally includes confirmation of the update or details about the updated group. No binary data output is indicated.

Example output (conceptual):

[
  {
    "groupJid": "string",
    "description": "string",
    "status": "success"
  }
]

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
  • The node configuration must include this API authentication token.
  • Network access to the Evolution API endpoint (https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference) is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect group ID or instance name may lead to errors indicating the group was not found.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API.

  • Error messages:

    • "Operação não suportada." — This means the requested operation is not supported; verify that the resource and operation names are correct.
    • API error responses related to authorization or invalid parameters should be checked and corrected accordingly.
