Overview
This node manages Zalo groups by interacting with the Zalo API. It supports various group-related operations such as creating groups, retrieving group information, managing members, changing group details, and posting notes within groups. The "Đổi Tên Nhóm" (Change Group Name) operation specifically allows users to rename an existing Zalo group by providing the group's ID and the new desired name.
Practical examples:
- Renaming a team chat group after a project rebranding.
- Updating group names to reflect changes in membership or purpose.
- Automating group management tasks in workflows that integrate with Zalo.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the Zalo group to rename. This is required to specify which group will be renamed. |
| Tên Mới | The new name to assign to the specified group. This is the updated group name after the operation completes. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group name. It typically includes confirmation details about the operation's success and any relevant metadata returned by the API.
Example output structure:
{
"response": {
// API-specific response data confirming the name change
}
}
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid Zalo API credentials including an API key credential with cookie, IMEI, and user agent information.
- The node depends on the external
zca-jslibrary for interacting with the Zalo API. - Proper configuration of the Zalo API credentials in n8n is necessary to authenticate requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If the provided API credentials are invalid or expired, the node will fail to instantiate the API client, resulting in an error indicating no API instance was found. Ensure the credentials are correct and up to date.
- Group Not Found: Providing an incorrect or non-existent group ID may cause the API to return errors or empty responses. Verify the group ID before running the node.
- Permission Issues: The authenticated user must have permission to rename the group; otherwise, the API call will fail.
- Network Errors: Connectivity issues with the Zalo API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures. Check network connectivity and retry.
- Error Handling: If the node is set to continue on failure, errors will be returned in the output JSON under an
errorfield for each failed item.
