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 for the authenticated Zalo user.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating social media workflows involving Zalo contacts.
  • Integrating Zalo user data into CRM or marketing platforms.
  • Managing friend lists programmatically for outreach or analysis.
  • Synchronizing Zalo contacts with other systems.

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 export that list within your workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning

Output

The output JSON contains a single field:

  • friends: An array of friend objects representing the retrieved friends from the Zalo account. Each object corresponds to a friend’s details as returned by the Zalo API.

Example output structure:

{
  "friends": [
    {
      "id": "123456789",
      "name": "Friend Name",
      "avatar": "https://example.com/avatar.jpg",
      // ... other friend properties
    },
    // more friend objects
  ]
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the Zalo platform.
  • The node uses stored credentials including a cookie, device IMEI, and user agent string to establish a session with Zalo's API.
  • The external library zca-js is used internally to interact with the Zalo API.
  • Proper configuration of the Zalo API credentials in n8n is necessary before using this node.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or expired credentials: If the node throws an error about missing or invalid API instance, ensure that the provided API key credential is valid and has not expired. Refresh or reauthenticate if needed.
  • Empty friend list: If the returned friend list is empty, verify that the authenticated user actually has friends on Zalo and that the API permissions allow access to friend data.
  • Limit parameter issues: Setting the limit too high might cause performance issues or API rate limiting. Use reasonable limits according to your needs.
  • Network or API errors: Temporary network failures or API downtime may cause errors. Retry after some time or check Zalo service status.
