Overview

This node manages Zalo Group operations, specifically here focusing on the "Add Group Deputy" operation. It allows adding a user as a deputy (vice-leader) to a specified Zalo group by providing the group ID and the user ID of the person to be added.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating group management tasks in Zalo, such as delegating administrative responsibilities by assigning deputies without manual intervention. For example, a community manager can programmatically add trusted members as deputies to help moderate the group.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID Nhóm The unique identifier of the Zalo group where the deputy will be added.
ID Người Dùng The unique identifier of the user who will be added as a deputy in the group.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Zalo API after attempting to add the deputy user to the group. This typically includes status information about the operation's success or failure.

Example output structure:

{
  "status": "success",
  "response": {
    // details returned by the Zalo API about the deputy addition
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Zalo API credentials with appropriate permissions to manage groups.
  • The node uses an internal Zalo API client instantiated with authentication cookies, IMEI, and user agent strings derived from credentials or input data.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary for successful API calls.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired API credentials leading to authentication failures.
    • Incorrect group ID or user ID causing the API to reject the request.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing communication with the Zalo API.

  • Error messages:

    • "No API instance found. Please make sure to provide valid credentials."
      Means the node could not instantiate the Zalo API client due to missing or invalid credentials. Solution: Verify and re-enter the API credentials.
    • Errors returned from the Zalo API indicating invalid parameters or permission issues. Check that the group ID and user ID are correct and that the authenticated user has rights to modify the group.
    • If the node is set to continue on fail, errors for individual items will appear in the output JSON under an error field.
