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 to ensure sensitive information does not persist indefinitely.

Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Evolution API after attempting to toggle ephemeral messages on the specified group. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes confirmation of the operation's success or failure and any relevant metadata.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
- The node expects the user to provide valid instance name and group ID parameters.
- Network access to the Evolution API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Unsupported Operation Error: If the node throws an error stating the operation is not supported, verify that the resource and operation names are correctly set to "groups-api" and "toggle-ephemeral" respectively.
- Authentication Failures: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Invalid Group ID: Confirm the group ID is correct and the instance has access to manage that group.
- Expiration Value Issues: Use only the provided expiration options; custom values may cause errors.
