Overview

This node integrates with the HCSS Heavy Job API to retrieve detailed information about time cards. Specifically, the "Get Time Card" operation fetches a single time card by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to access or verify specific time card data for payroll, attendance tracking, or job costing purposes.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically retrieving a time card record after an employee clocks out to update payroll systems.
  • Fetching time card details to validate hours worked before invoicing a client.
  • Integrating with other HR or project management tools to synchronize time card data.

Properties

Name Meaning
TimeCard ID The unique identifier of the time card to retrieve. This is required to specify which time card record to fetch from the system.

Output

The node outputs the JSON representation of the requested time card object as returned by the HCSS Heavy Job API. This typically includes all relevant fields of the time card such as employee info, hours worked, dates, job codes, and any other metadata associated with that time card.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the HCSS Heavy Job API.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the HCSS Heavy Job API endpoints.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid TimeCard ID: If the "TimeCard ID" property is empty or incorrect, the API call will fail. Ensure the ID is valid and corresponds to an existing time card.
  • Authentication errors: If the API credentials are not set up correctly or have expired, the node will return authentication errors. Verify the API key and permissions.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect endpoint URLs can cause request failures. Check network access and API availability.
  • Error messages: The node may throw errors containing messages from the API response. Review these messages to identify issues such as "Not Found" (invalid ID) or "Unauthorized" (credential issues).
