It is designed for scenarios where users want to programmatically send image content, such as marketing campaigns, customer support with visual aids, or automated notifications including pictures. For example, a business could use this node to send product images to customers or share event photos in group chats.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Evolution API after attempting to send the image message. This typically includes confirmation details such as message IDs, status, and any metadata returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is outputted by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
  • The node expects the Evolution API endpoint to be reachable at https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect recipient number format may result in message delivery errors.
    • Providing an invalid image URL or malformed base64 string can cause the API to reject the message.
    • Specifying a message ID to reply to that does not exist or is inaccessible may lead to errors.

  • Error Messages:

    • "Operação não suportada." indicates that the selected operation is not supported for the chosen resource; ensure "Enviar Imagem" is selected under "Mensaje".
    • Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity issues with the Evolution API endpoint.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify API credentials and permissions.
    • Confirm recipient identifiers are correctly formatted.
    • Validate image URLs or base64 strings before sending.
    • Check that the message ID used for replies exists and belongs to the same chat context.
