Evolution API

Interact with Evolution API

Overview

This node allows you to update the description of a WhatsApp group via the Evolution API. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically change group descriptions, such as automating announcements, updating group rules, or reflecting changes in group purpose. For example, you could use this node in an n8n workflow that updates a group's description based on external triggers (like a new event or schedule).

Properties

Display Name Type Description
Nome Da Instância String Digite o nome da instância que vai atualizar a descrição (Name of the instance to use).
ID Do Grupo String ID do grupo que terá a descrição atualizada (The group ID whose description will be updated).
Nova Descrição String Nova descrição que será definida para o grupo (The new description to set for the group).

All properties are required.

Output

  • The output is a JSON object (or array of objects) containing the result of the update operation.
  • The exact structure depends on the Evolution API's response, but typically includes status information and possibly the updated group details.
  • No binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Evolution API.
  • Credentials: You must configure valid Evolution API credentials in n8n under the name evolutionApi.
  • Environment: Ensure your n8n instance can reach the Evolution API endpoint (https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference).

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid credentials will prevent the node from working.
    • Incorrect group ID or instance name may cause the API to return errors.
    • Network issues between n8n and the Evolution API endpoint.
  • Error Messages:

    • "Operação não suportada.": This means the selected operation is not implemented for the chosen resource. Double-check that you have selected the correct resource ("Grupo") and operation ("Atualizar Descrição Do Grupo").
    • API-specific errors: If the API returns an error (e.g., "Group not found" or "Unauthorized"), check your input values and credentials.
