Overview

This node interacts with Zalo Groups, specifically allowing users to retrieve detailed information about a particular group. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access group metadata such as members, admins, and other group-related details from Zalo, a popular messaging platform.

A practical example would be automating the monitoring of group membership changes or fetching group info for reporting purposes within an n8n workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID Nhóm The unique identifier (ID) of the Zalo group whose information you want to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified group. The structure includes:

  • members: List of group members.
  • admins: List of group administrators.
  • currentMems: Current members in the group.
  • updateMems: Members who have been updated recently.
  • totalMember: Total number of members in the group.

The output is paired with the input item index for traceability.

No binary data output is indicated by the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token or cookie credential to authenticate requests to the Zalo service.
  • Uses an external Zalo API client library internally to perform operations.
  • Requires configuration of credentials that provide:
    • A valid session cookie.
    • Device IMEI.
    • User agent string.

These are necessary to establish authenticated communication with the Zalo backend.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired authentication credentials may cause failures.
    • Incorrect or missing group ID will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • If authentication fails, the node throws an error indicating failure to connect or invalid credentials.
    • If the group ID does not exist or is inaccessible, the response may contain an error message or empty group info.
    • When running in "continue on fail" mode, errors for individual items are returned in the output JSON under an error field instead of stopping execution.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify and refresh your API authentication credentials.
    • Double-check the group ID input for correctness.
    • Ensure stable network connection.
    • Use the "continue on fail" option to handle partial failures gracefully.
