Zalo Group

Quản lý nhóm Zalo

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 and deputies, changing group details (name or avatar), and creating 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 examples:

  • Renaming a project discussion group after a project phase change.
  • Updating group names to reflect new team structures or purposes.
  • Automating group management workflows where group names need to be standardized or updated regularly.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID Nhóm The unique identifier of the Zalo group to rename.
Tên Mới The new name to assign to the specified Zalo group.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group name. This typically includes confirmation details about the updated group name or status information returned by the API.

Example output structure:

{
  "groupId": "string",
  "newName": "string",
  "status": "success"
}

(Note: The exact fields depend on the Zalo API's response for the rename operation.)

No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Zalo API credentials including authentication tokens such as cookies, device IMEI, and user agent strings.
  • The node depends on the external 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 "group not found" errors.
    • Insufficient permissions to rename the group if the authenticated user is not an admin.
  • Error messages:

    • "No API instance found. Please make sure to provide valid credentials."
      Resolution: Verify that the Zalo API credentials are correctly set up and valid.
    • Errors related to invalid group ID or permission denied will be thrown by the API and surfaced by the node.
      Resolution: Confirm the group ID is correct and the user has rights to rename the group.
  • Enabling "Continue On Fail" can help process multiple items even if some fail.
