Overview
This node, named "Evolution API," is designed to interact with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the resource Mensagem and operation Enviar Contato, it sends one or more contact entries to a specified WhatsApp recipient number via an instance of the Evolution API.
Typical use cases include automating the sending of contact cards through WhatsApp in workflows such as customer support, lead sharing, or contact distribution within teams. For example, a user can configure this node to send multiple contacts' details to a client or colleague directly from an automated process.

No binary data output is indicated by the source code.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Evolution API instance configured with appropriate credentials (an API key or token).
- The node expects the base URL
https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-referencefor API requests. - Proper configuration of the instance name and authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Operation Not Supported Error: If the node throws an error stating the operation is not supported, verify that the resource and operation names are correctly set to "Mensagem" and "Enviar Contato" respectively.
- Missing Required Fields: Ensure all required fields such as instance name, recipient number, and contact details are provided; missing these will cause errors.
- API Authentication Issues: Errors related to authentication usually mean the API credentials are invalid or missing. Check the configured credentials for the Evolution API instance.
- Invalid Contact Data: Providing improperly formatted phone numbers or incomplete contact information may result in API rejection or failure to send.
- Network or API Endpoint Issues: Connectivity problems or incorrect base URLs can cause request failures.
