Overview

This node, named "Zalo User," manages interactions with Zalo user accounts through various operations such as managing friend requests, blocking/unblocking users, changing account settings, and retrieving user information. Specifically, the operation "Lấy danh sách bạn bè" (Get all friends) fetches a list of friends from a Zalo user account.

Common scenarios where this node is useful include:

  • Automating social media management tasks on Zalo.
  • Integrating Zalo user data into CRM or marketing workflows.
  • Managing friend lists programmatically for outreach or analysis.
  • Synchronizing contacts between Zalo and other platforms.

For example, you can use the "Lấy danh sách bạn bè" operation to retrieve up to a specified number of friends from a Zalo account and then process or analyze that list in subsequent workflow steps.

Properties

Name Meaning
Limit The maximum number of friends to retrieve from the Zalo user's friend list. Default is 50.

Output

The output JSON contains a single field:

  • friends: An array of friend objects representing the retrieved friends from the Zalo account. Each object typically includes details about a friend (the exact structure depends on the Zalo API response).

Example output structure:

{
  "friends": [
    {
      "id": "123456789",
      "name": "Friend Name",
      "avatar": "https://...",
      ...
    },
    ...
  ]
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Zalo API credentials including an API key credential that provides cookie, IMEI, and user agent information.
  • Uses the external zca-js library to interact with the Zalo API.
  • The node expects these credentials to be configured properly in n8n before execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Credentials or Authentication Failure: If the node throws an error indicating no API instance was found, verify that the provided Zalo API credentials are correct and contain valid cookie, IMEI, and user agent values.
  • Empty Friend List: If the returned friend list is empty, ensure the authenticated user actually has friends and that the API limits or permissions allow access.
  • API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Temporary failures may occur due to network problems or API rate limiting; retrying after some time may resolve these.
  • Error Handling: If an error occurs during execution, the node can continue on fail if enabled, returning the error message in the output JSON under the error field.
