Overview
The node provides integration with a talent management API, specifically allowing operations on various talent-related resources such as education records. The "Update Education" operation enables users to modify an existing education entry associated with a specific talent. This is useful in scenarios where educational background information needs to be kept current, for example, updating the degree name, institution, or dates after a correction or new information becomes available.
Practical examples include:
- Updating a candidate's education record after they complete a degree.
- Correcting previously entered education details.
- Maintaining accurate and up-to-date talent profiles in recruitment or HR systems.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated education record. This typically includes all relevant fields of the education entry after the update has been applied, such as IDs, names, institution, degree, and dates.
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 utility to perform HTTP requests to the API.
- Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Missing or invalid Talent ID or Education ID will cause the update to fail.
- Incorrect date formats for start or end dates may result in errors.
- Network or authentication failures due to misconfigured API credentials.
Error Messages:
"The operation "updateEducation" is not supported for resource "education"!"— indicates a possible misconfiguration or unsupported operation.- Errors related to missing required parameters usually specify which field is missing.
- API response errors might indicate permission issues or invalid data.
Resolutions:
- Verify that all required fields are provided and correctly formatted.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
