Zalo OA
To integrate Zalo Official Account (OA) with XBot, businesses need to follow specific steps to ensure seamless communication between Zalo users and the bot. Here's a detailed guide on how to achieve this integration:
Steps for Integrating Zalo OA with XBot

Ensure that your business has a registered OA account with a subscription to a paid plan. You can find more details on the plans here: Zalo OA Pricing.
2. Create an App on Zalo
Navigate to the Zalo Developers site and create a new app.
Follow the instructions to set up your app and obtain the necessary credentials.
3. Verify Webhook Domain
Set up your webhook URL, which will be used to receive events from Zalo.
Verify the domain of your webhook URL as per Zalo’s guidelines.
4. Register to use API
Apply for the "User Management" API to get approval from Zalo for your OA account.
This API will allow you to manage user interactions through your OA account.
5. Link App with OA Account
Connect your newly created app to your OA account by following the linking procedures in Zalo’s documentation.
Configure Webhook URL:
Configure your webhook URL in the Zalo app settings.
This URL will be used by XBot to send event messages when users interact with your OA.
6. Enable Necessary Events
Ensure that the following events are enabled so that Zalo can send them to XBot:

These events ensure that whenever users interact through the Zalo OA by sending messages, links, images, files, or sharing information, these are promptly sent to XBot for processing.
