Pulse Talent

Talent resource from Pulse API

Actions24

Overview

The node interacts with the Pulse API to manage and query talent-related data. Specifically, for the "Talent" resource and the "Query Talent" operation, it allows users to perform search queries to find talents matching specific criteria or keywords.

This node is beneficial in scenarios such as:

  • Searching a talent database to find candidates with particular skills or experience.
  • Filtering talents based on dynamic query strings for recruitment or HR analytics.
  • Integrating talent search capabilities into automated workflows.

For example, a user might input a query string like "JavaScript developer with 5 years experience" to retrieve matching talent profiles from the Pulse system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query * The query string used to search for talents. This is a required text input where you specify the search criteria or keywords.

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object containing the results of the talent query. The structure typically includes an array or list of talent records that match the query string provided. Each record represents a talent profile with relevant details as returned by the Pulse API.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent associated files or media related to talents, but this operation focuses on JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Pulse API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Pulse API helper utilities bundled within the node's codebase to handle API requests.
  • Proper network access to the Pulse API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Malformed or empty query strings may result in no results or errors.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The operation "queryTalent" is not supported for resource "talent"!" — indicates a misconfiguration of operation or resource parameters.
    • API errors returned from Pulse (e.g., rate limits, invalid queries) will be surfaced in the node output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
    • Provide a meaningful, non-empty query string.
    • Check network connectivity and Pulse API service status.
    • Use the "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
