Evolution API

Overview

This node interacts with the Evolution API, specifically allowing users to update their profile picture. The "Actualizar Foto De Perfil" operation under the "Perfil" resource lets users set a new profile image by providing the URL of the desired picture. This is useful in scenarios where automated workflows need to update user profiles dynamically, such as syncing profile pictures from other platforms or updating branding images regularly.

Practical example: Automatically updating a user's profile picture in the Evolution system when they change their avatar on a connected social media platform.

Properties
