pushName returns instance name instead of contact name when sending messages #2363
Description
Welcome!
- Yes, I have searched for similar issues on GitHub and found none.
What did you do?
I configured a webhook (used in n8n) to receive message events from the Evolution API. When the instance sends a message, I receive the webhook payload and check the pushName field.
What did you expect?
I expected the pushName field to contain the name of the contact involved in the conversation (sender/recipient).
What did you observe instead of what you expected?
When the instance sends a message, the pushName field contains the instance name instead of the contact name. The contact name is only returned correctly when the contact sends a message to the instance number. This behavior used to work correctly before and seems to have changed recently.
