Overview
This node is designed to update records in a multi-dimensional table system, identified uniquely by an application token. It is useful when you need to modify existing data entries programmatically within such tables, for example, updating user information, inventory details, or any structured dataset managed through the multi-dimensional table platform.
A practical example would be automating updates to a project management table where task statuses or deadlines are changed based on external triggers or workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| app_token | The unique identifier of the multi-dimensional table where the record update will occur. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of the updated record's details or status. If the operation involves binary data (not indicated here), it would represent the updated content or related files.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the multi-dimensional table service via an API.
- Needs an API authentication token or similar credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- Relies on internal modules for routing actions and fetching version descriptions and list data.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing
app_tokenleading to failure in locating the target table. - Authentication errors if the API key or token is not properly set up.
- Network or permission issues preventing communication with the external service.
- Invalid or missing
Error messages:
- "Record not found" may indicate the specified record does not exist or the
app_tokenis incorrect. - "Unauthorized" suggests problems with API credentials; verify that the correct authentication token is provided.
- Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; check connectivity and service availability.
- "Record not found" may indicate the specified record does not exist or the
