Evolution API

Overview

The node named "Evolution API" allows users to interact with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the "Instance" resource and the "Delete Instance" operation, it enables users to delete a specified instance by its name. This is useful in scenarios where instances need to be programmatically removed as part of automation workflows, such as cleaning up unused or obsolete instances in an environment.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically deleting test or temporary instances after a workflow completes.
• Managing lifecycle of instances by removing those no longer needed based on certain triggers or conditions.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Evolution API after attempting to delete the specified instance. The structure of the JSON output depends on the API's response but typically includes confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed.

No binary data output is indicated.

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 authentication within n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Operation not supported error: If the node throws an error stating that the operation is not supported, verify that the resource and operation names are correctly set to "instances-api" and "delete-instance" respectively.
• API authentication errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to delete instances.
• Instance not found or deletion failure: Confirm that the instance name provided exists and that the user has rights to delete it.
• Network or connectivity issues: Check network access to the Evolution API endpoint.
