TeleFlow

Interact with TeleFlow API

Actions82

Overview

This node interacts with the TeleFlow API to perform various operations on different resources, including "Device Template". Specifically, the "Get Many" operation for the "Device Template" resource retrieves multiple device templates from the TeleFlow system. It allows users to specify filtering fields to narrow down the results.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching a list of device templates to display or process in workflows.
  • Filtering device templates based on specific criteria such as name or other attributes.
  • Integrating TeleFlow device template data into other systems or automations.

For example, you might use this node to get all device templates that match certain field values and then use that data to provision devices or generate reports.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields A collection of field-value pairs used to filter the request. You can add multiple pairs to specify which fields to include and their expected values. For example, you could filter by "name" with a specific value to retrieve matching device templates.

The "Fields" property supports multiple entries, each consisting of:

  • Name: The field name to filter by (e.g., "name").
  • Value: The value to match for that field.

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects representing the device templates retrieved from the TeleFlow API. Each object contains the properties of a device template as returned by the API, filtered according to the specified fields.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

[
  {
    "id": "template1",
    "name": "Template A",
    "description": "Description of Template A",
    ...
  },
  {
    "id": "template2",
    "name": "Template B",
    "description": "Description of Template B",
    ...
  }
]

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the TeleFlow API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The base URL for the TeleFlow API must be set in the credentials.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the TeleFlow API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key and base URL are correctly configured in the node's credentials.
  • Invalid field names or values: If filtering fields do not match the API's expected parameters, the request may return no results or errors.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the TeleFlow API endpoint will cause request failures.
  • Error messages about missing IDs: Not applicable for "Get Many" but relevant for other operations like "Get" or "Update" where an ID is required.
  • To handle errors gracefully, enable the "Continue On Fail" option in the node settings to allow workflow execution to proceed even if some requests fail.
