Pulse Talent

Talent resource from Pulse API

Actions24

Overview

The node interacts with the Pulse API to manage Talent-related resources, specifically here focusing on the Certification resource and its operation to Get Certification List. It retrieves a list of certifications from the Pulse system, optionally including related resources and applying filters, pagination, sorting, and field selection.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to automate fetching certification data for talents, such as integrating talent profiles into HR systems, generating reports on certifications held by employees, or syncing certification data with other platforms.

Example use cases:

  • Fetching all certifications for talents in a specific organization.
  • Retrieving paginated certification lists sorted by relevance or date.
  • Including related talent information alongside certifications for enriched data processing.

  }
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pulse API.
  • The node depends on the Pulse API service being accessible and properly configured.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Pulse API and n8n environment are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Authentication failures due to missing or invalid API credentials.
    • Incorrect filter keys or values causing empty or error responses.
    • Pagination parameters not set correctly leading to unexpected result sizes.
    • Requesting unsupported related resources in the "Include Related Resources" property.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "getCertificationList" is not supported for resource "certification"!" — indicates a mismatch between selected operation and resource; ensure correct operation name.
    • "The resource "certification" is not supported!" — indicates an invalid resource selection.
    • API errors returned from Pulse API will be passed through; check API documentation for error meanings.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify API credentials and permissions.
    • Double-check property values, especially filters and pagination.
    • Use supported options for included related resources.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" option in the node settings to handle partial failures gracefully.
