Overview
The Zalo Send Message node enables sending various types of messages through the Zalo messaging platform using its API authenticated by a login cookie. Specifically, for the "Gửi sticker" (Send sticker) operation, it allows users to send stickers to either individual users or group conversations on Zalo.
This node is useful in scenarios such as:
- Automating customer engagement by sending stickers as part of chat interactions.
- Enhancing chatbot responses with expressive stickers.
- Integrating Zalo messaging into workflows that require multimedia message sending.
For example, a business could automatically send a thank-you sticker after a customer completes a purchase, or a chatbot could respond with relevant stickers based on user input.
