Overview

This node sends a text message to a specified recipient using the Evolution API. It is useful for automating message sending in workflows, such as sending notifications, alerts, or chat messages to users or groups.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a text notification to a user when a specific event occurs.
  2. Automating customer support messages by sending predefined text responses.
  3. Broadcasting messages to a group with mentions and link previews enabled.

Properties

Name Meaning
Instance Name The name of the instance that will send the message.
Recipient Number The remoteJid (unique identifier) of the message recipient, required to specify who will receive the message.
Message The text content of the message to be sent, required for the message body.
Options Additional optional settings for the message such as delay before sending, replying to a specific message, mentions, and link preview settings.

Output

JSON

  • messageId - The unique identifier of the sent message.
  • status - The status of the message sending operation (e.g., success or failure).
  • timestamp - The time when the message was sent.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Evolution API to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'Recipient Number' is correctly formatted as a valid remoteJid; otherwise, the message will not be delivered.
  • If the 'Instance Name' is incorrect or not configured, the message sending may fail.
  • Check API authentication credentials if the node throws authorization errors.
  • Delays set in 'Options' should be reasonable; too short or too long delays might cause unexpected behavior.
