# Zalo Personal (unofficial)
|
||
|
||
Status: experimental. This integration automates a **personal Zalo account** via `zca-cli`.
|
||
|
||
> **Warning:** This is an unofficial integration and may result in account suspension/ban. Use at your own risk.
|
||
|
||
## Plugin required
|
||
Zalo Personal ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||
- Install via CLI: `clawdbot plugins install @clawdbot/zalouser`
|
||
- Or from a source checkout: `clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/zalouser`
|
||
- Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisite: zca-cli
|
||
The Gateway machine must have the `zca` binary available in `PATH`.
|
||
|
||
- Verify: `zca --version`
|
||
- If missing, install zca-cli (see `extensions/zalouser/README.md` or the upstream zca-cli docs).
|
||
|
||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||
1) Install the plugin (see above).
|
||
2) Login (QR, on the Gateway machine):
|
||
- `clawdbot channels login --channel zalouser`
|
||
- Scan the QR code in the terminal with the Zalo mobile app.
|
||
3) Enable the channel:
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
channels: {
|
||
zalouser: {
|
||
enabled: true,
|
||
dmPolicy: "pairing"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4) Restart the Gateway (or finish onboarding).
|
||
5) DM access defaults to pairing; approve the pairing code on first contact.
|
||
|
||
## What it is
|
||
- Uses `zca listen` to receive inbound messages.
|
||
- Uses `zca msg ...` to send replies (text/media/link).
|
||
- Designed for “personal account” use cases where Zalo Bot API is not available.
|
||
|
||
## Naming
|
||
Channel id is `zalouser` to make it explicit this automates a **personal Zalo user account** (unofficial). We keep `zalo` reserved for a potential future official Zalo API integration.
|
||
|
||
## Finding IDs (directory)
|
||
Use the directory CLI to discover peers/groups and their IDs:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot directory self --channel zalouser
|
||
clawdbot directory peers list --channel zalouser --query "name"
|
||
clawdbot directory groups list --channel zalouser --query "work"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Limits
|
||
- Outbound text is chunked to ~2000 characters (Zalo client limits).
|
||
- Streaming is blocked by default.
|
||
|
||
## Access control (DMs)
|
||
`channels.zalouser.dmPolicy` supports: `pairing | allowlist | open | disabled` (default: `pairing`).
|
||
`channels.zalouser.allowFrom` accepts user IDs or names. The wizard resolves names to IDs via `zca friend find` when available.
|
||
|
||
Approve via:
|
||
- `clawdbot pairing list zalouser`
|
||
- `clawdbot pairing approve zalouser <code>`
|
||
|
||
## Group access (optional)
|
||
- Default: `channels.zalouser.groupPolicy = "open"` (groups allowed). Use `channels.defaults.groupPolicy` to override the default when unset.
|
||
- Restrict to an allowlist with:
|
||
- `channels.zalouser.groupPolicy = "allowlist"`
|
||
- `channels.zalouser.groups` (keys are group IDs or names)
|
||
- Block all groups: `channels.zalouser.groupPolicy = "disabled"`.
|
||
- The configure wizard can prompt for group allowlists.
|
||
- On startup, Clawdbot resolves group/user names in allowlists to IDs and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
channels: {
|
||
zalouser: {
|
||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||
groups: {
|
||
"123456789": { allow: true },
|
||
"Work Chat": { allow: true }
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Multi-account
|
||
Accounts map to zca profiles. Example:
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
channels: {
|
||
zalouser: {
|
||
enabled: true,
|
||
defaultAccount: "default",
|
||
accounts: {
|
||
work: { enabled: true, profile: "work" }
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
**`zca` not found:**
|
||
- Install zca-cli and ensure it’s on `PATH` for the Gateway process.
|
||
|
||
**Login doesn’t stick:**
|
||
- `clawdbot channels status --probe`
|
||
- Re-login: `clawdbot channels logout --channel zalouser && clawdbot channels login --channel zalouser`
