Overview

This node interacts with Zalo Groups, specifically allowing management of group properties and members via various operations. The "Đổi Tên Nhóm" (Change Group Name) operation lets users rename a Zalo group by specifying the group's ID and the new desired name.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Automating group management tasks in Zalo, such as renaming groups based on external triggers or workflows.
  • Integrating Zalo group updates into broader automation pipelines, e.g., updating group names to reflect event changes or organizational restructuring.
  • Managing multiple groups programmatically without manual intervention.

Example use case: Automatically rename a Zalo group after an event ends to archive it or mark its status.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID Nhóm The unique identifier of the Zalo group to rename. This is required to specify which group will be renamed.
Tên Mới The new name to assign to the specified group. This is the updated group name that will replace the current one.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Zalo API regarding the rename operation. It typically includes status information indicating whether the rename was successful.

Output structure example (conceptual):

{
  "json": {
    "status": "Thành công",  // Means "Success"
    "response": { /* API response details about the rename operation */ }
  },
  "pairedItem": {
    "item": <index_of_input_item>
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Zalo platform.
  • Uses a Zalo API client internally, which requires valid authentication cookies, device IMEI, and user agent strings.
  • The node expects these credentials and parameters to be configured properly within n8n's credential system.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired authentication tokens/cookies can cause failures.
    • Incorrect group ID or insufficient permissions may result in errors or no effect.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Zalo API.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors thrown by the node include descriptive messages from the underlying API client.
    • If the node encounters an error during execution, it either returns the error message in the output JSON (if continuing on failure is enabled) or throws an exception stopping the workflow.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the API credentials are correct and have not expired.
    • Confirm the group ID exists and the authenticated user has permission to rename it.
    • Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
    • Enable "Continue on Fail" in the node settings to handle individual item errors gracefully.
