Overview
The node "Evolution API" allows users to interact with the Evolution API, specifically enabling operations on various resources. For the Group resource and the Update Group Name operation, this node updates the name of an existing group by specifying the group ID and the new desired name. This is useful in scenarios where group names need to be changed dynamically based on workflow logic or external triggers, such as renaming project groups, team chats, or discussion channels.
Practical example: Automatically rename a group chat after a project milestone is reached, reflecting the current phase or status.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instance Name | The name of the instance that will perform the update on the group name. |
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the group whose name will be updated. |
| New Group Name | The new name to assign to the specified group. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the update operation. Typically, this will include confirmation details such as success status, updated group information, or error messages if the update failed.
If the API supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent related media or attachments, but for this operation, the output is purely JSON-based.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
- The base URL for requests is
https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference. - Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary to authorize requests.
Troubleshooting
- Operation not supported error: If you receive an error stating the operation is not supported, verify that the resource is set to "groups-api" and the operation to "update-group-name".
- Invalid Group ID: Ensure the Group ID provided exists and is correctly formatted; otherwise, the API may return an error indicating the group was not found.
- Authentication errors: Confirm that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to update group information.
- Empty or invalid new group name: The new group name must be a non-empty string; otherwise, the API might reject the request.
