Overview
This node, named "Evolution API," allows users to interact with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the Resource "Grupo" and Operation "Mensagens Temporárias" (translated as "Temporary Messages"), it enables configuring ephemeral message settings in a group chat. This means users can set how long messages remain visible before they disappear automatically.
Common scenarios include managing group chats where temporary messages are desired for privacy or reducing clutter, such as in event planning groups, support channels, or casual conversations where message retention is not needed.
Practical example: A user wants to enable disappearing messages in a WhatsApp group for 24 hours so that all messages sent will be deleted after one day automatically.

Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the ephemeral message configuration operation. The exact structure depends on the Evolution API response but typically includes confirmation of the setting applied or error details if the operation failed.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
- The node expects the Evolution API endpoint to be accessible and properly configured.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing instance name or group ID may cause the operation to fail.
- Incorrect API credentials or expired tokens will prevent successful communication with the Evolution API.
- Unsupported operations or resources will throw an error indicating the operation is not supported.
Error Messages:
"Operação não suportada."— Means the requested operation is not implemented for the selected resource. Verify the resource and operation names.- API errors related to authentication or invalid parameters will be returned from the Evolution API and should be checked accordingly.
