Overview
This node interacts with a group management service (specifically for "zaloGroup" resource) to perform various group-related operations. The selected operation here is Đổi Tên Nhóm (Change Group Name), which allows users to rename an existing group by specifying the group's ID and the new desired name.
Typical use cases include:
- Automating group management tasks such as renaming groups based on external triggers or workflows.
- Keeping group names consistent with organizational changes or events.
- Integrating group renaming into larger automation pipelines involving messaging or collaboration platforms.
For example, a workflow could trigger this node to rename a group after a project phase ends, reflecting the new project status in the group name.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the group to rename. This is required to specify which group will be renamed. |
| Tên Mới | The new name to assign to the group. This is the updated group name that will replace the current one. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the group renaming operation. The structure typically includes:
- Confirmation of the rename action's success or failure.
- Any relevant status messages or error details returned by the underlying API.
The output is paired with the input item index to maintain traceability in batch operations.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token or cookie credential to access the group management service.
- Depends on an external SDK or API client (referenced internally) to communicate with the group service.
- The node expects environment variables or credentials configured in n8n for authentication.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing group ID: Ensure the "ID Nhóm" property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing group.
- Insufficient permissions: The API token or cookie used must have rights to rename groups.
- Network or API errors: Check connectivity and API availability.
Error messages:
- Errors thrown by the underlying API client are caught and returned as JSON error objects linked to the specific input item.
- If the API client fails to initialize (e.g., due to missing credentials), the node throws an error indicating the failure to create the client instance.
To resolve errors:
- Verify all required properties are provided and valid.
- Confirm credentials are properly configured and authorized.
- Review API limits or restrictions imposed by the external service.
