Consume Cativa API

Actions15

Overview

The Cativa node for n8n allows you to interact with the Cativa API, specifically targeting group-related operations. The "Invite to Course" operation under the "Group" resource enables you to invite a user (by email) to a specific course within a group. This is useful in scenarios where you need to automate onboarding or enrollment processes for courses managed via Cativa.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically inviting new users to a course when they sign up through another system.
  • Bulk-inviting a list of emails to a course as part of an onboarding workflow.
  • Integrating with HR or LMS systems to synchronize course enrollments.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email The email address of the user to be invited to the course. Example: [email protected]
Course ID The unique identifier of the course to which the user will be invited.

Output

The output will be a JSON object (or array of objects) representing the result of the invitation action. The exact structure depends on the Cativa API response, but typically includes:

  • Confirmation of the invitation sent
  • Any error messages if the invitation failed

If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error field with the error message.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Cativa API.
  • API Credentials: You must configure the cativaApi credential in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Email or Course ID: If the provided email or course ID is incorrect, the API may return an error.
  • Authentication Errors: If the cativaApi credentials are missing or invalid, authentication will fail.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent successful API requests.

Error messages:

  • "Authentication successful": Indicates credentials are valid.
  • Error messages from the API will appear in the output's error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled; otherwise, the workflow will stop and display the error.

How to resolve:

  • Double-check the email and course ID values.
  • Ensure your Cativa API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
  • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
