Overview

This node operation "Assign Phone To User" under the "Public Admin" resource is designed to assign a specific phone number to a user within a system. It is useful in scenarios where phone numbers need to be programmatically linked or reassigned to users, such as in telephony management, customer support systems, or internal user provisioning workflows.

For example, an administrator can automate the process of assigning newly purchased phone numbers to employees or customers by providing the user ID and the phone ID, streamlining phone resource allocation without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user to whom the phone number will be assigned. This is a required string input.
Phone Id The unique identifier of the phone number that is to be assigned to the user. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the assignment operation. Typically, this would include confirmation details such as the user ID, phone ID, and possibly status or metadata about the assignment. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms successful linkage of the phone to the user.

There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • Depends on the "@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node" package for OpenAPI integration.
  • Uses a base URL configured via credentials (resourceApiUrl), which must be set up in n8n.
  • The node sends HTTP requests with JSON payloads containing userId and phoneId.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields: If either "User Id" or "Phone Id" is not provided, the node will likely throw an error indicating missing parameters. Ensure both are filled.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key or credentials are invalid or missing, authentication failures will occur. Verify the API key and credential setup.
  • Invalid IDs: Providing non-existent or incorrect user or phone IDs may cause the API to return errors such as "User not found" or "Phone not found." Double-check the IDs before running.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the API endpoint will cause request failures. Confirm network access and correct base URL configuration.
  • API Limits or Permissions: Insufficient permissions or rate limits imposed by the API could lead to errors. Check API documentation and credentials' permission scopes.
