Overview

The "Magic Dash" node with the "Post Magic Dash" operation allows users to create or update items on a Magic Dash dashboard by sending structured content. This node is useful for dynamically displaying messages, company information, titles, icons, images, links, and rich HTML content on a Magic Dash interface. It supports contextual coloring (shades) to visually represent different states such as success or danger.

Common scenarios include:

  • Displaying real-time notifications or alerts with custom icons and colors.
  • Showing company-specific updates or statuses.
  • Embedding rich content like tables, images, or videos within dashboard items.
  • Linking dashboard items to external resources for quick access.

Example use case: Automatically post a status update with a message, company name, and an icon indicating success after a deployment pipeline finishes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Body Fields Optional fields to customize the Magic Dash item:
- Message The primary content text displayed on the Magic Dash item.
- Company Name Used to associate the item with a specific company; helps match existing entries.
- Title Title of the Magic Dash item; used together with company name to identify existing items for updating.
- Icon FontAwesome icon class string for the item's header (e.g., fas fa-circle).
- Image Url URL of an image to display in the item's header.
- Content Link External URL linked to the content of the Magic Dash item.
- Content HTML content (tables, images, videos, etc.) to be rendered inside the Magic Dash item.
- Shade Optional color indicator representing contextual states (e.g., success, danger).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Magic Dash API after posting the item. This typically includes confirmation details about the created or updated Magic Dash item.

If binary data were supported, it would represent media such as images, but this node focuses on JSON content only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Magic Dash API endpoint.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for the Magic Dash API must be set in the node's credential configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key or token is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid field values: Verify that fields like icon names correspond to valid FontAwesome classes and URLs are properly formatted.
  • Matching existing items: If updates do not apply as expected, check that both company_name and title are correctly specified to identify existing Magic Dash items.
  • Network issues: Confirm that the Magic Dash API endpoint is reachable from the n8n environment.
