Overview
This node, named "Evolution API," allows users to send a list message through the Evolution API messaging service. The "Send List" operation under the "Message" resource enables sending interactive list messages to specified recipients. Such list messages are useful in scenarios where you want to present multiple selectable options to a user within a chat interface, for example:
- Customer support bots offering predefined help topics.
- Marketing campaigns presenting product categories.
- Surveys or polls with multiple choices.
The node supports detailed customization of the list message, including title, description, footer text, button text, and multiple sections with rows representing selectable options.
