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 and deputies, changing group names or avatars, and creating 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 project team group after a rebranding.
- Updating a social group’s name to reflect a new event or theme.
- Correcting typos or standardizing group names across an organization.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the Zalo group to rename. |
| Tên Mới | The new name to assign to the specified Zalo group. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group name. This typically includes confirmation details about the updated group name or status information returned by the API.
Example output structure:
{
"groupId": "string",
"newName": "string",
"status": "success"
}
(Note: The exact fields depend on the Zalo API's response for the rename operation.)
Dependencies
- Requires valid Zalo API credentials including authentication tokens such as cookies, device IMEI, and user agent strings.
- The node depends on the external
zca-jslibrary to interact with the Zalo API. - Proper configuration of the Zalo API credential in n8n is necessary to authenticate requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If the provided API credentials (cookie, IMEI, user agent) are missing or invalid, the node will fail to create an API instance and throw an error indicating no API instance was found. Ensure credentials are correctly set up.
- Group Not Found: Providing an incorrect or non-existent group ID may cause errors or empty responses. Verify the group ID before running the operation.
- Permission Issues: The authenticated user must have permission to rename the group; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
- Network or API Errors: Temporary network issues or API downtime can cause failures. Retrying later or checking API status might help.
- Error Handling: If the node is configured to continue on failure, errors will be included in the output JSON under an
errorfield for each failed item.
