Overview
This node acts as a generic interface to interact with a service or API related to "Feishu" (a collaboration platform). It delegates its main execution logic to an external router function, which likely handles different actions based on the input parameters. This design allows flexible operations such as querying lists, filtering properties, or selecting property values dynamically.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Fetching and manipulating data from Feishu tables or resources.
- Dynamically loading options or filters for user inputs in workflows.
- Integrating Feishu data into automated processes within n8n.
For example, you might use this node to retrieve rows from a multi-dimensional table identified by a unique token, then process or route that data further downstream.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| app_token | Unique identifier of the multidimensional table |
Output
The node outputs JSON data structured according to the specific action performed by the router function. Typically, this will be data retrieved or manipulated from the Feishu service, such as lists of records or filtered results.
If binary data is involved (not evident from the provided code), it would represent files or attachments fetched from the service.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Feishu API or service endpoints.
- Needs a valid "app_token" string to identify the target multidimensional table.
- The node depends on internal modules for routing actions and fetching version descriptions.
- Proper API authentication credentials must be configured in n8n to authorize requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid
app_token: Ensure the token is correctly provided; otherwise, the node cannot identify the target table. - API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect credentials may cause failures when calling the Feishu API.
- Unexpected response structure: If the external router or transport modules change their output format, the node's downstream processing might fail.
- Timeouts or rate limits: Large data requests might hit API limits; consider paginating or filtering data.
