Cativa

Overview

This node interacts with the Cativa API to retrieve information about users. Specifically, when configured for the "User" resource and the "Get User" operation, it fetches details for a specified user based on their User ID. This is useful in workflows where you need to look up user data from Cativa, such as enriching records, validating user existence, or automating user-related processes.

Example scenarios:

• Fetching user profile information to personalize communications.
• Validating if a user exists before performing further actions.
• Integrating Cativa user data into other systems via n8n.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the user's details as returned by the Cativa API. The exact structure depends on the API response, but typically includes fields such as user ID, name, email, and other profile information.

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.
• Credentials: You must configure the cativaApi credential in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid or missing credentials: If the cativaApi credential is not set up correctly, authentication will fail.
• Incorrect User ID: Providing a non-existent or malformed User ID may result in errors or empty responses.
• API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoints can cause request failures.

Error messages:

• "Authentication successful": Indicates that the credentials are valid.
• Error messages in the output (when "Continue On Fail" is enabled) will appear under the error field, describing what went wrong (e.g., "User not found", "Invalid credentials").
