Overview
This node manages Zalo groups by interacting with the Zalo API. It supports various group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing members, changing group details, and posting notes within groups. The "Đổi Tên Nhóm" (Change Group Name) operation specifically allows users to rename an existing Zalo group by providing the group's ID and the new desired name.
Practical scenarios include:
- Renaming a group to reflect a change in purpose or membership.
- Automating group management tasks in workflows that integrate with Zalo.
- Keeping group information up-to-date without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the Zalo group to be renamed. This is required to specify which group will have its name changed. |
| Tên Mới | The new name to assign to the specified group. This is the updated group name after the operation completes. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group name. It typically includes confirmation details about the operation's success and any relevant metadata returned by the API.
Example output structure:
{
"response": {
// API response fields confirming the name change
}
}
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid Zalo API credentials including authentication tokens such as cookies, device identifiers, and user agent strings.
- The node depends on the external
zca-jslibrary for interfacing with the Zalo API. - Proper configuration of the Zalo API credential in n8n is necessary to authenticate requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If the node throws an error indicating no API instance found, verify that the provided Zalo API credentials are correct and active.
- Group Not Found: Errors may occur if the specified group ID does not exist or the authenticated user lacks permission to modify it.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; ensure stable internet access.
- API Limits: Hitting rate limits or restrictions imposed by Zalo API could result in errors; check API usage policies.
To resolve errors:
- Double-check the group ID and new name inputs.
- Confirm that the API credentials are properly set and have sufficient permissions.
- Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle individual item errors gracefully during batch processing.
