Overview
This node interacts with a group management service (likely Zalo Group) to perform various group-related operations. Specifically, the "Thêm Phó Nhóm" (Add Group Deputy) operation allows adding a user as a deputy (vice-admin) of a specified group. This is useful for delegating group management responsibilities without transferring full ownership.
Common scenarios include:
- Assigning trusted members as deputies to help moderate or manage group activities.
- Automating group role assignments based on external triggers or workflows.
- Managing group permissions programmatically in organizational or community settings.
Example: Automatically add a user as a deputy when they join a group or meet certain criteria.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the group where the deputy will be added. |
| ID Người Dùng | The unique identifier of the user to be added as a deputy in the group. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the group management API after attempting to add the deputy. The structure typically includes status information and any relevant details returned by the API about the operation's success or failure.
No binary data output is indicated.
Example output JSON structure:
{
"status": "success",
"response": {
// API-specific response details about the deputy addition
}
}
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external group management service.
- Uses a shared helper class/module that handles API requests, requiring configuration such as cookies, device identifiers, and user agent strings.
- The node expects these credentials and configurations to be set up properly in n8n.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing group ID or user ID parameters.
- Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
- Network connectivity problems preventing API calls.
- API rate limits or permission restrictions from the external service.
Error messages:
- Errors thrown during execution are caught and can be output per item if the node is configured to continue on failure.
- Typical error messages relate to authentication errors, invalid input data, or API response errors.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the group ID and user ID are correct and exist.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Check network connectivity and proxy/firewall settings.
- Review API usage limits and adjust workflow frequency accordingly.
