Overview

This node interacts with Zalo's Poll feature within groups. Specifically, the "Lấy thông tin bình chọn" (Get poll information) operation retrieves detailed information about a specific poll by its ID. This is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch the current state, options, votes, or metadata of a poll created in a Zalo group.

Practical examples:

  • Fetching poll results to display them in a dashboard.
  • Monitoring poll status and details for automated reporting.
  • Integrating poll data into other workflows or notifications.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID bình chọn (poll_id) The numeric ID of the poll to retrieve information for. This is required to specify which poll's details to fetch.

Output

The output JSON contains:

  • success: A boolean indicating if the request was successful.
  • response: An object containing detailed information about the poll, including its question, options, votes, status, and other metadata as returned by the Zalo API.
  • poll_id: The ID of the poll that was queried.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "success": true,
  "response": {
    "question": "Your poll question",
    "options": [
      {"option": "Option 1", "votes": 10},
      {"option": "Option 2", "votes": 5}
    ],
    "status": "active",
    "createdTime": 1234567890,
    ...
  },
  "poll_id": 12345
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Zalo API credentials with an API key credential that includes 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 may cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent poll ID will likely result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the Zalo API.

  • Error messages:

    • "Zalo API not initialized": Indicates missing or invalid credentials; ensure the API key credential is correctly set up.
    • Errors related to poll ID: Verify that the poll ID is correct and exists.
    • General API errors: Check the Zalo API status and your network connection.

  • Resolution tips:

    • Double-check the poll ID input.
    • Refresh or reconfigure the Zalo API credentials.
    • Review logs for detailed error messages.
