Overview
This node allows sending a video message through the "Evolution API" messaging service. It is designed to send videos to specified recipients with optional captions and additional message options such as delay before sending, replying to a specific message, and mentioning users in group chats.
Common scenarios include:
- Sending promotional or informational videos to customers.
- Sharing video updates or announcements in group chats.
- Automating video responses in customer support workflows.
For example, you can use this node to send a product demo video to a client’s phone number with a caption describing the video content, optionally mentioning specific participants in a group chat.

Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Evolution API after attempting to send the video message. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes confirmation details such as message ID, status, timestamps, or error information.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Evolution API credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- The node expects network access to the Evolution API endpoints.
- No other external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
- Operation Not Supported Error: If the node throws an error stating the operation is not supported, verify that the resource is set to "messages-api" and the operation to "send-video".
- Invalid Recipient Number: Ensure the recipient number is correctly formatted and registered with the Evolution API service.
- Video Format Issues: The video must be accessible via URL or properly base64 encoded; otherwise, the API may reject the message.
- Delay Misconfiguration: Setting an excessively high delay might cause unexpected waiting times; use reasonable values.
- Mentioning Errors: When using mentions, ensure phone numbers are correctly formatted and separated by commas without spaces.
