etiquetas.io

Overview

This node integrates with the etiquetas.io platform, specifically providing functionality to batch bind devices. The "Batch Bind" operation under the "Device" resource allows users to associate multiple ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) barcodes with item barcodes within a specified store. This is useful in retail environments where electronic labels need to be linked to inventory items efficiently.

Common scenarios include:

  • Bulk updating or linking of ESL devices to products in a store.
  • Automating the setup of electronic shelf labels during store onboarding or inventory refresh.
  • Synchronizing physical ESL devices with product data for price updates or stock management.

Example: A retailer wants to link 100 ESL devices to their corresponding product barcodes in a specific store location. Using this node's batch bind operation, they can automate this process instead of manually pairing each device.

Properties

Name Meaning
eslBarcode The barcode identifier of the ESL device to be bound.
itemBarcode The barcode of the item/product that the ESL device should be associated with.
storeId The identifier of the store where the binding takes place. Can be selected from a list or entered as an ID.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the batch bind operation. This typically includes confirmation of successful bindings or error details if any bindings failed. The exact structure depends on the API response from etiquetas.io but generally contains status information per device-item pair.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for etiquetas.io to authenticate requests.
  • Uses etiquetas.io REST API endpoints to perform device binding operations.
  • The node relies on internal helper methods to fetch store lists and validate credentials.
  • No additional external services beyond etiquetas.io are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Store ID: If the store ID is incorrect or not found, the operation will fail. Ensure the store ID is valid and accessible.
  • Missing or Incorrect Barcodes: Both ESL and item barcodes are required. Missing or malformed barcodes will cause errors.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is invalid or expired, authentication will fail. Recheck and update the API key.
  • API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Temporary failures may occur due to network problems or rate limiting by etiquetas.io. Retry after some time.
  • Error Messages: The node may return error messages from the API indicating which bindings failed and why. Review these messages to correct input data.
