Overview
This node manages Zalo groups, specifically allowing users to perform various group-related operations via the Zalo API. The "Đổi Avatar Nhóm" (Change Group Avatar) operation updates the avatar image of a specified Zalo group by providing a new image URL.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Updating the visual identity of a Zalo group by changing its avatar.
- Automating group management tasks such as creating groups, adding or removing members, and retrieving group information.
- Integrating Zalo group management into workflows that require dynamic updates based on external triggers or data.
Practical example:
- Automatically update a group's avatar when a marketing campaign starts, using a campaign-specific image URL.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the Zalo group whose avatar will be changed. |
| URL Ảnh | The URL of the new avatar image to set for the group. |
Output
The output JSON contains:
status: A string indicating the success of the operation, typically"Thành công"(meaning "Success").response: The raw response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group avatar, which may include details about the updated group or confirmation data.
Example output structure:
{
"status": "Thành công",
"response": {
// API response details here
}
}
No binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires valid Zalo API credentials including an API key credential with cookie, IMEI, and user agent information.
- The node uses the
zca-jslibrary to interact with the Zalo API. - Proper configuration of the Zalo API credentials in n8n is necessary to authenticate requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If the node throws an error stating no API instance found, verify that the provided Zalo API credentials are correct and contain valid cookie, IMEI, and user agent values.
- Network Issues: Failures in connecting to the Zalo API might occur due to network problems; ensure stable internet connectivity.
- Invalid Group ID or Image URL: Errors can arise if the group ID does not exist or the image URL is invalid or inaccessible. Double-check these inputs.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent calls to the Zalo API might hit rate limits; consider adding delays or handling retries gracefully.
- When errors occur, if "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the node outputs the error message in the JSON under the
errorfield instead of stopping execution.
