Zalo Friend TriggerInstall

Overview

This node listens for friend-related events on the Zalo platform, specifically friend requests. It acts as a trigger that activates workflows when such events occur. This is useful for automating responses or actions based on incoming friend requests on Zalo, such as sending notifications, logging events, or updating databases.

Practical examples:

• Automatically notify a team via chat or email when a new friend request is received on Zalo.
• Log friend request data into a CRM system for follow-up.
• Trigger additional workflows to analyze or respond to friend requests.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the friend event received from Zalo. The output structure includes a friendEvent object containing details about the specific friend event triggered (e.g., a friend request). This data can be used downstream in the workflow for further processing.

If binary data were involved, it would be summarized here, but this node only outputs JSON event data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential to connect with the Zalo platform.
• Uses the Zalo SDK/library (zca-js) to handle login and event listening.
• Needs valid Zalo credentials including cookie, IMEI, and user agent information.
• Requires webhook URL configuration within n8n to receive event callbacks from Zalo.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials found: Ensure that the Zalo API credential is properly configured and connected in n8n.
• Zalo connection failed: Verify that the provided credentials (cookie, IMEI, user agent) are valid and have not expired.
• Webhook not receiving events: Confirm that the webhook URL is correctly set up and publicly accessible by Zalo.
• Event types not triggering: Check that the selected event types match the actual events sent by Zalo.
