Overview

This node integrates with the Zalo Web platform, enabling automation of various user-related and messaging operations. Specifically, for the User Action > Get QR Code operation, it retrieves a QR code associated with a particular user on Zalo. This QR code can be used for sharing contact information or facilitating friend requests.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automatically generating and sharing QR codes for users to connect on Zalo.
  • Integrating Zalo user identification into workflows that require quick user verification or connection.
  • Using phone numbers or user IDs as input to fetch corresponding QR codes dynamically.

For example, a marketing automation workflow could generate QR codes for new leads based on their phone numbers, allowing easy sharing and connection via Zalo.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID or Phone Number (typeRequest) Selects whether the target user is identified by User ID or Phone Number. Options: "User ID", "Phone Number".
User ID (userId) The unique identifier of the target user or their phone number, depending on typeRequest. Used to specify which user's QR code to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the QR code information related to the specified user. The exact structure depends on the underlying API response but typically includes:

  • A URL or data string representing the QR code image.
  • Metadata about the QR code or user (e.g., user ID).

No binary output is directly produced by this operation; the QR code is returned as JSON data, which can then be used downstream in the workflow (e.g., to display or send the QR code).

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Zalo Web API credential with valid authentication cookies.
  • Depends on internal session management to maintain login state.
  • Uses helper functions from bundled dependencies for HTTP requests and file handling.
  • No external environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API credential.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Errors: If the node fails due to invalid or expired credentials, re-authenticate the Zalo Web API credential to refresh the session cookie.
  • Invalid User ID or Phone Number: Ensure the provided user identifier exists and is correctly formatted. Use the recommended bot (@get_id_bot) to verify user IDs.
  • Network Issues: Failures in fetching QR code data may occur if there is no internet connectivity or if Zalo's service is temporarily unavailable.
  • Unexpected Response Format: If the QR code data is missing or malformed, verify that the Zalo Web API has not changed its response format or that the user is accessible.
