Evolution API

Interact with Evolution API

Actions64

Overview

The node interacts with the Evolution API to update the description of a specified group. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically manage group metadata, such as updating group descriptions to reflect new information or changes in group purpose. For example, an admin could automate updating group descriptions across multiple groups after a policy change or event.

Properties

Name Meaning
Instance Name The name of the instance that will perform the update on the group description.
Group ID The unique identifier of the group whose description will be updated.
New Description The new text content to set as the group's description.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation details from the Evolution API about the updated group description. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms success or failure of the update.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference for API requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Unsupported operation error: If the node throws an error stating the operation is unsupported, verify that the resource is set to "groups-api" and the operation to "update-group-description".
  • Missing required parameters: Ensure all required properties (Instance Name, Group ID, New Description) are provided; missing any will cause errors.
  • API authentication failures: Confirm that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid Group ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent group ID may result in API errors; verify the group ID before running the node.
