Actions12
Overview
This node interacts with the Zalo platform to manage user-related actions, specifically focusing on blocking a user in this context. It allows you to block a specified user by their User ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically restrict interactions from certain users, such as preventing spam or unwanted communication.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically blocking users who send inappropriate messages.
- Managing user access control in a community or service integrated with Zalo.
- Automating moderation tasks by blocking users based on specific triggers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| User ID | The unique identifier of the user to be blocked. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the status and response from the Zalo API after attempting to block the user. The structure typically looks like:
{
"status": "success",
"response": { /* API response details */ }
}
This output confirms whether the block operation was successful and may include additional information returned by the Zalo API.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Zalo API.
- The node depends on a Zalo API client library internally to perform operations.
- Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary for the node to function.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing User ID will cause the operation to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API key credential is not set up correctly.
- Network or API downtime can lead to request failures.
Error messages:
- Errors thrown by the node will include messages from the underlying API call.
- If the node encounters an error and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, it will return the error message in the output JSON for that item.
- To resolve errors, verify the User ID, ensure valid API credentials, and check network connectivity.
