Overview
This node enables users to create and manage polls within Zalo groups. It is particularly useful for gathering opinions, making group decisions, or conducting surveys in Zalo chat groups. For example, a community manager can use this node to create a poll asking members to vote on the next event date, or a team lead can gather feedback on project priorities.
The "Tạo bình chọn" (Create Poll) operation allows creating a new poll with customizable questions, options, and settings such as allowing multiple choices or anonymous voting.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the Zalo API.
- Uses the Zalo API client library (
zca-js) internally to perform operations. - The node expects valid credentials including cookie, IMEI, and user agent information for authentication.
- No additional environment variables are required beyond the configured API credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid credentials: The node throws an error if the Zalo API instance cannot be initialized due to missing or invalid authentication details. Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up with valid cookie, IMEI, and user agent values.
- Empty poll options: If no poll options are provided, the node will throw an error prompting to enter at least one option.
- Invalid option input format: When using the list input type, malformed or missing options may cause errors. Verify that each option is properly filled.
- API errors: Any errors returned by the Zalo API during poll creation will be surfaced. Check the error message for details and verify the group ID and other parameters.
- Continue on Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error messages in the output JSON.
