Overview

This node manages Zalo Groups, specifically allowing various group-related operations via the Zalo API. The "Đổi Avatar Nhóm" (Change Group Avatar) operation updates the avatar image of a specified Zalo group by providing a new image URL.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Automating group management tasks such as updating group avatars to reflect current themes or events.
  • Integrating with other systems to dynamically change group visuals based on external triggers.
  • Maintaining consistent branding across multiple Zalo groups by programmatically setting avatars.

Example use case: Automatically update a group's avatar to a promotional banner image when launching a marketing campaign.

The output JSON contains:

  • status: A string indicating success, typically "Thành công" (meaning "Success").
  • response: The raw response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group avatar. This may include details about the updated group or confirmation data.

No binary data is output by this operation.

Example output JSON structure:

  "status": "Thành công",
  "response": {

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Zalo API credentials including an API key credential that provides cookie, IMEI, and user agent information.
  • The node uses the zca-js library to interact with the Zalo API.
  • Proper configuration of the Zalo API credential in n8n is necessary to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired credentials leading to authentication failures.
    • Incorrect group ID causing the API to fail to find the target group.
    • Invalid or inaccessible image URL resulting in failure to update the avatar.

  • Error messages:

    • "No API instance found. Please make sure to provide valid credentials."
      Means the node could not initialize the Zalo API client due to missing or invalid credentials. Verify your API key and credential setup.
    • Errors related to network or API response failures usually indicate connectivity issues or invalid parameters. Check the group ID and image URL correctness.

  • To resolve errors, ensure:

    • Credentials are correctly configured and active.
    • Group ID corresponds to an existing group you have permission to manage.
    • Image URL is publicly accessible and points to a valid image file.
