Evolution API 2.3.7 + Chatwoot latest: PrismaClientValidationError (Invalid Date) when sending messages

No source file or test is named. Start at the outgoing-message path that builds the Prisma query for jidOptions and updatedAt while handling @lid and remoteJidAlt, then reproduce the failure from a Chatwoot reply. Done means the query receives a valid date and the message is delivered without PrismaClientValidationError.

Welcome!

• Yes, I have searched for similar issues on GitHub and found none.

What did you do?

Environment

• Evolution API: 2.3.7
• Chatwoot: latest (Docker)
• PostgreSQL: 15
• Redis: 7
• Docker Compose
• WhatsApp connected successfully

Problem

Incoming WhatsApp messages are delivered correctly to Chatwoot.

However, replying from Chatwoot fails.

The message is never sent to WhatsApp.

Error

PrismaClientValidationError

Invalid value for argument gte:

Provided Date object is invalid.

Expected Date.

The generated query contains:

where: {
  OR: [
    {
      jidOptions: {
        contains: "104234762670201@lid"
      }
    }
  ],
  updatedAt: {
    gte: new Date("Invalid Date")
  }
}

What works

• WhatsApp connection ✅
• Incoming messages ✅
• Contacts sync ✅

What fails

• Sending messages from Chatwoot to WhatsApp ❌

Additional information

The issue still happens after updating Evolution API to version 2.3.7.

The instance already supports remoteJidAlt for @lid, but Prisma still generates an Invalid Date in the query.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

What did you expect?

I expected Chatwoot to send the WhatsApp message successfully through Evolution API.

Incoming messages already work correctly.

The reply should be delivered to WhatsApp without generating any Prisma validation errors.

What did you observe instead of what you expected?

Instead of sending the message, Evolution API returns a PrismaClientValidationError.

The generated query contains:

updatedAt: {
gte: new Date("Invalid Date")
}

Incoming messages continue to work, but every outgoing message from Chatwoot fails.

Screenshots/Videos

I can provide screenshots of the Prisma error, Docker environment and Chatwoot configuration if needed.
