Overview
The node provides integration with a talent management API, specifically allowing operations on various talent-related resources such as certifications. The Update Certification operation enables users to modify an existing certification entry associated with a specific talent. This is useful in scenarios where certification details need correction or updating, such as changing the certification name, organization, URL, or obtention date.
Practical examples include:
- Updating a certification's URL after it has changed.
- Correcting the name of a certification or the issuing organization.
- Adjusting the date when the certification was obtained.
This operation helps maintain accurate and up-to-date certification records for talents within an HR or talent management workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Talent ID * | The unique identifier of the talent whose certification is being updated. |
| Certification ID * | The unique identifier of the certification entry to update. |
| Certification Name * | The updated name of the certification. |
| Organization * | The updated name of the organization that issued the certification. |
| Certificate URL * | The updated URL associated with the certification (e.g., link to certificate or details). |
| Obtention Date * | The updated date when the certification was obtained. |
(* indicates required fields)
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the updated certification entry. It typically contains the updated fields reflecting the changes made by the operation. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes identifiers and all relevant certification details.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external talent management API.
- The node depends on the Pulse API helper utilities bundled within the node's codebase to perform HTTP requests.
- Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Talent ID or Certification ID will cause the update to fail.
- Incorrect API credentials or expired tokens will result in authentication errors.
- Providing invalid dates or URLs may cause validation errors from the API.
Error Messages:
"The operation "updateCertification" is not supported for resource "certification"!"— This indicates a misconfiguration of the operation or resource parameters.- API error messages related to authorization failures suggest checking the API key credential.
- Validation errors from the API should be resolved by ensuring all required fields are correctly formatted and provided.
