TeleFlow

Overview

The node interacts with the TeleFlow API to perform various operations on different resources. Specifically, for the File resource with the Get Many operation, it retrieves multiple file records from the TeleFlow system. This is useful when you want to fetch a list of files matching certain criteria or filters.

Common scenarios include:

• Retrieving all files or a filtered subset based on specific fields.
• Automating workflows that require batch processing or analysis of multiple files.
• Integrating TeleFlow file data into other systems or dashboards.

For example, you might use this node to get all files created after a certain date or files with a particular name pattern by specifying those as filter fields.

Properties

Example of Fields property JSON structure:

{
  "field": [
    {
      "name": "name",
      "value": "example.txt"
    },
    {
      "name": "type",
      "value": "pdf"
    }
  ]
}

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects representing the files retrieved from the TeleFlow API. Each object corresponds to a file record and contains the properties returned by the API according to the requested fields.

• The json output field holds the file data.
• No binary data output is indicated in the code for this operation.

Example output snippet:

[
  {
    "id": "file_123",
    "name": "example.txt",
    "type": "text/plain",
    "createdAt": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z"
  },
  {
    "id": "file_456",
    "name": "report.pdf",
    "type": "application/pdf",
    "createdAt": "2024-02-15T08:30:00Z"
  }
]

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the TeleFlow API.
• The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
• The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the TeleFlow REST API.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly set in the node credentials.
• Invalid field names or values: If filtering fields do not match the API's expected parameters, the request may return empty results or errors.
• ID required errors: Although not applicable for "Get Many," other operations require an ID parameter; ensure IDs are provided where necessary.
• Network issues or API downtime: Check connectivity and TeleFlow service status if requests fail unexpectedly.
• Error messages: The node logs error messages and can continue on failure if configured, returning error details in the output JSON.
