Overview
This node is designed to interact with the Zalo platform, specifically to retrieve information about a Zalo user by their User ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch detailed user data from Zalo for further processing or integration within an n8n workflow. For example, you might use this node to get profile details of a user before sending them a message, adding them to a group, or performing other user-specific operations.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching user info to personalize messages.
- Verifying user identity before friend requests.
- Gathering user data for analytics or CRM systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| User Id | The unique identifier of the Zalo user whose information you want to retrieve. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved user information from Zalo. The structure typically includes fields such as user profile details (e.g., name, avatar, status), but exact fields depend on the Zalo API response.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent media or attachments related to the user, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is JSON user data.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Zalo API, which means the node depends on having valid API credentials configured in n8n (an API key or token).
- Uses internal helper libraries and possibly external modules for HTTP requests and data handling (not explicitly named due to obfuscation).
- No additional environment variables are explicitly mentioned, but proper API authentication setup is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid User Id: If the User Id is missing or incorrect, the node will fail to retrieve user info. Ensure the User Id is correctly provided.
- Authentication Errors: If API credentials are invalid or expired, the node will throw errors related to authorization. Verify your API key/token configuration.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent calls may hit Zalo API rate limits, causing temporary failures. Implement retry logic or reduce call frequency.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- Unexpected API Response: Changes in Zalo API or unexpected data formats may cause parsing errors. Review API documentation and update node accordingly.
Common error messages likely include:
- "User not found" or similar when the User Id does not exist.
- "Unauthorized" indicating credential issues.
- Timeout or network-related errors.
Resolving these usually involves verifying inputs, credentials, and network conditions.
