Overview
This node interacts with a group management API for the Zalo platform, allowing users to perform various operations on groups such as creating groups, retrieving group details, adding or removing members, and fetching all groups. Specifically, the "Lấy Tất Cả Nhóm" (Get All Groups) operation retrieves a list of groups associated with the authenticated user.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Managing multiple Zalo groups programmatically.
- Automating group member management tasks.
- Integrating Zalo group data into workflows for marketing, customer support, or community engagement.
- Fetching group lists to synchronize with other systems or databases.
Practical example:
- A marketing team wants to automatically fetch all their Zalo groups and analyze member counts to plan targeted campaigns.
- A community manager uses the node to retrieve all groups and then add or remove members based on external triggers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Giới Hạn | The maximum number of groups to retrieve (limit). Default is 50. |
Output
The output JSON contains a response field that holds the raw response from the API containing the list of groups. The structure typically includes metadata about each group such as group ID, name, and other relevant details.
Example output structure:
{
"response": {
"groups": [
{
"groupId": "string",
"name": "string",
"memberCount": number,
...
},
...
]
}
}
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Zalo API.
- The node depends on an internal Zalo API client library instantiated with authentication cookies, IMEI, and user agent strings.
- Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.
- The node expects to have access to stored authentication data (cookies, IMEI, user agent) to initialize the API client.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Authentication failures due to missing or invalid API credentials.
- Exceeding the API rate limits imposed by Zalo.
- Network connectivity problems when calling the Zalo API.
- Providing an invalid limit value (e.g., negative numbers).
Error messages:
- Errors related to authentication will indicate failure to initialize the API client. Ensure valid credentials are configured.
- If the node throws an error about missing parameters, verify that the required "Giới Hạn" (limit) property is set.
- API errors returned from Zalo will be included in the output JSON under an
errorfield if the node is configured to continue on failure.
Resolution tips:
- Double-check API key and authentication token validity.
- Confirm network access to the Zalo API endpoints.
- Use reasonable values for the limit parameter.
- Enable detailed logging in the node settings to diagnose issues.
