Zalo User Interact

Overview

This n8n node provides integration with Zalo, a popular messaging and social platform. Specifically, for the Friend resource and the Accept Friend Request operation, the node allows users to programmatically accept incoming friend requests on behalf of a Zalo user. This is useful for automating contact management workflows, such as auto-accepting friend requests for business or support accounts, onboarding new contacts, or integrating Zalo contact acceptance into broader CRM or customer engagement processes.

Example use cases:

• Automatically accepting all incoming friend requests for a business Zalo account.
• Integrating Zalo friend acceptance into a customer onboarding workflow.
• Building bots that manage Zalo contacts without manual intervention.

Properties

The following input property is relevant for this operation:

Output

The output of this operation is a JSON object indicating the result of the friend request acceptance. The structure typically includes:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { /* details about the accepted friend */ }
}

• success: Boolean indicating if the operation was successful.
• data: An object containing details about the newly accepted friend (the exact fields depend on the Zalo API response).

If an error occurs, the output may look like:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Error message",
  "stack": "Stack trace (if available)"
}

Dependencies

• Zalo API: Requires access to the Zalo API endpoints for managing friends.
• API Credentials: You must configure valid Zalo API credentials (such as access tokens) in your n8n instance.
• n8n Configuration: Ensure the node is properly configured with the necessary authentication for Zalo.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid or missing User Id: If the provided User Id is incorrect or empty, the operation will fail.
• Authentication errors: If the Zalo API credentials are not set up correctly, you may receive authentication or permission errors.
• API rate limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by Zalo's API.

Typical error messages:

• "User Id is required": Ensure you provide a valid User Id.
• "Authentication failed": Check your Zalo API credentials in n8n.
• "API error: ...": Review the error message for more details; it may indicate issues such as invalid parameters or server problems.

How to resolve:

• Double-check the User Id value.
• Verify your Zalo API credentials and permissions.
• Consult Zalo API documentation for specific error codes and their meanings.
