  • Sending automated sticker responses in customer support workflows.
  • Notifying users or groups with fun or branded stickers as part of marketing campaigns.
  • Enhancing chatbot interactions by including stickers.

Practical Example:
When a new lead is added to your CRM, automatically send a "congratulations" sticker to a Zalo group to notify your sales team.

Dependencies

  • Network Access: The n8n instance must be able to reach Zalo's API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  • Invalid User/Group ID: If the provided ID does not exist or is incorrect, the message will not be delivered, and an error will be returned.
  • Missing Permissions: The Zalo account used must have permission to send messages to the specified user or group.
  • Sticker Not Found: If the Sticker Keywords do not match any available stickers, the message may fail to send.
  • API Rate Limits: Exceeding Zalo's API rate limits can result in temporary blocks or errors.

Error Messages

  • "Recipient not found": Check that the User/Group ID is correct and that your bot has access to the recipient.
  • "Invalid sticker keyword": Ensure the keywords correspond to available stickers in Zalo.
  • "Authentication failed": Verify your Zalo API credentials in n8n.
  • "Permission denied": Make sure your Zalo Official Account is allowed to send messages to the target user/group.

Resolution Steps:

  • Double-check all input fields for typos or missing values.
  • Review your Zalo developer dashboard for API usage and permissions.
  • Consult n8n logs for more detailed error traces if needed.
