Pulse Talent

Talent resource from Pulse API

Actions24

Overview

The node provides integration with a talent management API, allowing users to manage various talent-related resources such as talents, skills, languages, education, certifications, and experience. Specifically for the Update Skill operation, it updates an existing skill associated with a particular talent by specifying the skill's ID and new details.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to programmatically maintain or update talent profiles within an HR or recruitment system. For example, if a candidate gains a new proficiency level in a skill, this node can update that information automatically without manual intervention.

Practical example:

  • Automatically update a candidate’s skill level after completing a training course.
  • Synchronize skill data from an external learning platform into your talent database.

Properties

Name Meaning
Talent ID * The unique identifier of the talent to whom the skill belongs.
Skill ID * The unique identifier of the skill to be updated.
Skill Name * The name of the skill to update (e.g., "JavaScript", "Project Management").
Skill Level * The proficiency level of the skill, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest).

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the updated skill resource as returned by the API. It typically includes fields such as the skill ID, name, level, and association to the talent.

No binary data output is indicated.

Example output structure (conceptual):

{
  "id": "skillId",
  "name": "Updated Skill Name",
  "level": 3,
  "talentId": "talentId"
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pulse API service.
  • The node depends on the Pulse API helper utilities bundled within the node package.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Talent ID or Skill ID will cause the update to fail.
    • Providing a skill level outside the allowed range (1-5) may result in validation errors.
    • Network or authentication failures due to incorrect API credentials.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "updateSkill" is not supported for resource "skill"!" — indicates a misconfiguration of operation or resource parameters.
    • API error responses related to invalid IDs or permissions will be passed through; ensure IDs are correct and the API key has sufficient rights.

  • Resolution tips:

    • Double-check that all required fields are provided and valid.
    • Verify API credentials and network connectivity.
    • Use the node’s "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully during batch processing.
