Overview
The node "Evolution API" allows interaction with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the Group resource and the Update Group Picture operation, it updates the picture of a specified group by setting a new image URL. This is useful in scenarios where group images need to be refreshed or changed dynamically, such as updating branding, event-specific images, or correcting outdated pictures.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically updating a group’s profile picture when a new event banner is available.
- Changing group images based on seasonal themes or campaigns.
- Synchronizing group images across multiple platforms via automation.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instance Name | The name of the instance that will perform the update of the group image. |
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the group whose picture will be updated. |
| Image URL | The URL pointing to the new image that will be set as the group's picture. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Evolution API after attempting to update the group picture. The structure typically includes confirmation of success or failure and any relevant metadata returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Evolution API service.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference. - Proper network access to the provided image URL is necessary for the update to succeed.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials can cause authorization failures.
- Incorrect Group ID may result in errors indicating the group was not found.
- Providing an invalid or inaccessible Image URL might cause the update to fail or the image not to display correctly.
- Network issues preventing access to the Evolution API endpoint or the image URL.
Error Messages:

Ensure the correct resource ("groups-api") and operation ("update-group-picture") are selected.- API errors related to authentication or permissions should be resolved by verifying the API key or token.
- Validation errors about input parameters indicate missing or malformed inputs; double-check the required fields.
