Overview

This node manages Zalo groups, allowing users to perform various group-related operations via the Zalo API. Specifically, the "Đổi Tên Nhóm" (Change Group Name) operation lets you rename an existing Zalo group by providing its ID and a new name.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Automating group management tasks such as renaming groups based on external triggers or workflows.
  • Integrating Zalo group administration into broader automation pipelines.
  • Keeping group names consistent with organizational changes or events.

For example, you could use this node to automatically update a group's name when a project phase changes, ensuring all members see the current status reflected in the group title.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID Nhóm The unique identifier of the Zalo group to rename. This is required to specify which group will be affected.
Tên Mới The new name to assign to the specified group. This must be a string representing the desired group name.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Zalo API after attempting to change the group name. It typically includes confirmation details about the updated group name or related metadata returned by the API.

Example output structure:

{
  "groupId": "string",
  "newName": "string",
  "status": "success"
}

(Note: The exact fields depend on the Zalo API's response format.)

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Zalo API credentials including an API key credential that provides cookie, IMEI, and user agent information.
  • The node uses the zca-js library to interact with the Zalo API.
  • Proper configuration of the Zalo API credential within n8n is necessary to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Credentials: If the node throws an error indicating no API instance found, verify that the provided Zalo API credentials are correct and have not expired.
  • Group Not Found: Errors may occur if the specified group ID does not exist or the authenticated user lacks permission to modify it.
  • Empty or Invalid New Name: Ensure the "Tên Mới" property is not empty and complies with any naming rules enforced by Zalo.
  • API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Temporary failures might happen due to rate limiting or connectivity problems; retrying later can help.
  • Error Messages: The node surfaces errors from the Zalo API. Reading these messages carefully can guide corrective actions, such as adjusting input parameters or checking permissions.

If the node is set to continue on failure, errors for individual items will be included in the output JSON under an error field.
