Overview

This node, named "Evolution API," allows users to interact with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the resource Chat and operation Buscar Foto Do Perfil (Fetch Profile Picture), it enables retrieving the profile picture of a specified contact within a given instance. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically access user profile images from a chat system, for example, to display them in dashboards, automate contact management, or enrich customer data.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically fetching and displaying profile pictures of contacts in a CRM.
  • Archiving profile pictures of chat contacts for record-keeping.
  • Using profile pictures in automated messaging workflows to personalize communication.

Properties

Name Meaning
Nome Da Instância The name of the chat instance to connect to.
Contato The phone number of the contact whose profile picture you want to fetch (e.g., 5511999999999).

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the profile picture fetch operation. The exact structure depends on the Evolution API response but typically includes fields related to the profile picture URL or binary data reference.

If the profile picture is returned as binary data, it will be accessible in the node's binary output, allowing further processing or saving of the image file.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API service.
  • The node expects the Evolution API endpoint to be reachable and properly configured.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Operation not supported error: If you select an unsupported operation or resource, the node throws an error indicating the function is not supported. Ensure you use valid combinations of resource and operation.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or credentials are invalid or missing, requests will fail. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up.
  • Invalid contact number format: The contact number must be in the correct international format (e.g., 5511999999999). Incorrect formatting may cause the API to reject the request.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Evolution API endpoint will cause failures. Check network settings and API availability.
