Overview
This node operation, "Get User Info" under the "Get" resource, is designed to retrieve detailed information about a specific user from the Zalo platform by their User ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch profile details or verify user data within workflows that integrate with Zalo's messaging and social features.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching user profile information for personalization in customer support automation.
- Validating user identity before sending messages or friend requests.
- Integrating user data into CRM systems or databases for further processing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| User Id | The unique identifier of the Zalo user whose information you want to retrieve. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the user's information as retrieved from the Zalo API. The structure typically includes fields such as user name, avatar URL, status, and other profile-related details provided by Zalo.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would represent media or attachments related to the user profile, but this operation primarily returns JSON data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Zalo API, authenticated via an API key or token credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on internal helper libraries and possibly external HTTP request libraries bundled within the node's dependencies.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond standard API authentication credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid User Id: If the provided User Id does not exist or is malformed, the node may return an error indicating the user was not found. Verify the User Id value.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key/token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting by Zalo. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failed requests. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- Unexpected Response Structure: Changes in the Zalo API response format could lead to parsing errors. Update the node or check for breaking changes in the API.
Error messages typically include HTTP status codes and descriptive messages from the Zalo API, which should be reviewed to diagnose issues.
