Consume Cativa API

Actions15

Overview

The Cativa node for n8n allows you to interact with the Cativa API, specifically to manage users, groups, and posts. In the context of the User resource and the Unban User operation, this node enables you to unban a user by providing their email address. This is useful in scenarios where users have been previously banned (e.g., due to policy violations or automated moderation) and need to be reinstated.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically unbanning users after a review process.
  • Integrating with support workflows to restore access for users who were mistakenly banned.
  • Building admin dashboards that allow moderators to manage user bans programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email The email address of the user to unban. Required. Example: [email protected]

Output

The output will be a JSON object (or an array of such objects if multiple items are processed). The structure of the output depends on the response from the Cativa API for the "Unban User" operation. Typically, it may include fields such as:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "User has been unbanned",
  "user": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    // ...other user details
  }
}

If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output may look like:

{
  "error": "Error message describing what went wrong"
}

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Cativa API.
  • API Credentials: You must configure the cativaApi credentials in n8n for authentication.
  • n8n Configuration: Ensure the node is properly set up with the required credentials.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing email: If the provided email does not correspond to a banned user, the API may return an error.
  • Authentication errors: If the cativaApi credentials are incorrect or missing, authentication will fail.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the Cativa API can cause failures.

Common Error Messages:

  • "Authentication failed": Check your API credentials in n8n.
  • "User not found": Verify the email address is correct and corresponds to a banned user.
  • "User is not banned": The specified user is not currently banned.

How to resolve:

  • Double-check the email address input.
  • Ensure your API credentials are valid and active.
  • Confirm network connectivity to the Cativa API endpoint.
