Overview
This node, named "Evolution API," allows users to interact with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the resource "Mensagem" and operation "Enviar Contato," it sends one or more contact cards to a specified WhatsApp recipient number from a given instance name. This is useful in scenarios where automated sharing of contact information via WhatsApp is needed, such as customer support, marketing campaigns, or CRM integrations.
For example, a business could use this node to automatically send contact details of sales representatives to customers who request them through a chatbot or form submission.

Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the send-contact operation. Each item in the output corresponds to the response from sending the contact(s) to the specified recipient. The exact structure depends on the Evolution API response but generally includes status and any relevant metadata about the sent message.
There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
- The node expects the user to configure the API authentication properly within n8n credentials.
- No other external dependencies are indicated.
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 "messages-api" and "send-contact" respectively.
- Missing Required Fields: Ensure all required properties like instance name, recipient number, and contact details are provided; missing these will likely cause errors.
- API Authentication Failures: Check that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Invalid Phone Number Format: The WhatsApp numbers should be numeric without special characters except in the formatted phone number field; incorrect formats may cause the API to reject the request.
