Zalo User Interact

Overview

This node operation "Accept Friend Request" for the resource "Friend" is designed to accept incoming friend requests on a social platform (specifically Zalo, as indicated by the property description). It automates the process of confirming a friend request from another user by their User ID.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include:

• Automating social network management workflows where new friend requests need to be programmatically accepted.
• Integrating with customer relationship management (CRM) systems to automatically build connections with users.
• Streamlining community or group management by quickly accepting friend requests from members.

Practical example:

• A marketing automation workflow that accepts friend requests from potential leads and then sends them a welcome message or adds them to a group.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the results of the accept friend request operation. Each object typically contains:

• A boolean success field indicating whether the friend request was successfully accepted.
• Additional metadata or error information if the operation failed.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would represent any media or attachments related to the friend acceptance process, but this is not evident here.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential or authentication token to access the Zalo platform's API.
• Uses external libraries for HTTP requests and possibly file system operations (e.g., fs module).
• Depends on internal helper modules for API communication and response handling.
• The node expects proper configuration of credentials within n8n to authenticate API calls.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Invalid or missing User Id: The operation requires a valid User Id; ensure this is correctly provided.
• Authentication errors: If the API key or token is invalid or expired, the node will fail to accept friend requests.
• API rate limits: Excessive requests may lead to throttling or temporary blocks.
• Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failures.

Common Error Messages

• "User Id is required": Indicates the User Id input is missing.
• "Authentication failed": Check your API credentials.
• "Friend request not found": The specified User Id does not have a pending friend request.
• "API rate limit exceeded": Slow down the frequency of requests.

Resolution Steps

• Verify the User Id input is correct and corresponds to a pending friend request.
• Ensure API credentials are valid and properly configured in n8n.
• Implement retry logic or delays to handle rate limiting.
• Check network connectivity and proxy settings if applicable.
