Evolution API

Interact with Evolution API

Actions64

Overview

This node allows you to update privacy settings for a user profile via the Evolution API. It is designed for scenarios where you need to programmatically manage who can see your profile information, status, last seen, and other privacy-related options in an automated workflow. Typical use cases include synchronizing privacy preferences across multiple accounts, enforcing organizational privacy policies, or allowing users to self-manage their privacy settings through automated processes.

Practical Example:
Automatically set all new users' privacy settings to restrict profile photo visibility to contacts only and disable read receipts for everyone.

Output

The output will be a JSON object (or array of objects) reflecting the result of the privacy settings update operation. The structure typically includes confirmation of the updated settings, possibly echoing back the new values for each privacy option. The exact fields depend on the API response but generally follow this pattern:

{
  "instanceName": "string",
  "readreceipts": "all|none",
  "profile": "all|contacts|contact_blacklist|none",
  "status": "all|contacts|contact_blacklist|none",
  "online": "all|match_last_seen",
  "last": "all|contacts|contact_blacklist|none",
  "groupadd": "all|contacts|contact_blacklist",
  // ...additional metadata or status fields
}

No binary data is produced by this operation.
