Zalo Friend Trigger
AI-generatedOverview
This node listens for friend-related events on the Zalo platform, specifically friend requests. It acts as a webhook trigger that activates when such events occur, allowing workflows to respond automatically to new friend requests on Zalo.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically processing incoming friend requests.
- Sending notifications or logging friend request events.
- Integrating Zalo friend events with other systems or CRMs.
For example, when a user receives a friend request on Zalo, this node can trigger a workflow that sends an alert email or updates a database record.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Event Types | Friend events to listen for. Options: "Friend Requests" (listens for friend request events). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the friend event received from Zalo. The output structure includes a friendEvent object containing details about the specific friend event triggered (e.g., information about the friend request).
If the event contains binary data, it is not explicitly handled here; the output focuses on JSON payloads describing the event.
Dependencies
- Requires valid Zalo API credentials including authentication cookies, device IMEI, and user agent string.
- Uses an external Zalo SDK/library to establish connection and listen for friend events.
- Needs a publicly accessible webhook URL configured in n8n to receive event callbacks from Zalo.
- Requires proper credential setup in n8n to authenticate with Zalo's API.
Troubleshooting
- No credentials found: Ensure that the Zalo API credentials are correctly configured and provided to the node.
- Zalo connection failed: This error indicates failure to connect to Zalo using the provided credentials. Verify that the cookie, IMEI, and user agent are valid and have not expired.
- Webhook not receiving events: Confirm that the webhook URL is publicly accessible and correctly set in the node configuration.
- Event types mismatch: If no events trigger the workflow, check that the selected event types match those sent by Zalo.
