Zalo User Interact

Overview

This node operation "Add Group Deputy" for the resource "Group" is designed to assign a deputy (a user with delegated administrative privileges) within a Zalo group. It allows you to specify a user by their User ID and add them as a deputy to a particular group identified by its Group ID.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include:

• Delegating group management tasks to trusted members without transferring full ownership.
• Automating group administration workflows, such as adding deputies when certain conditions are met.
• Managing large groups where multiple administrators are needed to handle moderation or content posting.

Practical example: Suppose you have a community group on Zalo and want to empower a few active members to help moderate discussions. You can use this node to programmatically add those users as deputies, enabling them to assist in managing the group.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the results of the operation for each input item. Each object typically contains:

• A success flag indicating whether the deputy was successfully added.
• Any relevant data returned from the API call confirming the addition.
• Error information if the operation failed for a specific item.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Zalo platform.
• Depends on the Zalo API service to perform group management operations.
• Uses internal helper libraries for HTTP requests and response handling.
• May require proper configuration of API endpoints and authentication tokens within n8n credentials.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Invalid User Id or Group Id: If either the User Id or Group Id is incorrect or does not exist, the API call will fail.
• Insufficient Permissions: The authenticated account may lack permissions to modify the specified group or add deputies.
• API Rate Limits: Frequent calls might hit rate limits imposed by Zalo's API.
• Network Errors: Connectivity issues can cause request failures.

Common Error Messages

• "User not found" or "Group not found": Verify that the provided IDs are correct.
• "Unauthorized" or "Permission denied": Check that the API key has the necessary rights.
• "Rate limit exceeded": Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
• Generic errors with stack traces: Review logs for detailed error context and ensure all required parameters are provided.

To resolve these errors:

• Double-check input property values.
• Ensure the API key credential is valid and has appropriate scopes.
• Handle exceptions gracefully in your workflow.
• Consult Zalo API documentation for specific error codes.
