AI-generatedSummary
Update a document’s metadata in a knowledge base by supplying its UUID or external ID. Optionally change its title, business date, external ID, or source URL; the operation sends only non-empty fields in a PATCH request.
Inputs
- Knowledge Base Name or ID (required) — Select the knowledge base or provide its slug.
- Document (UUID or External ID) (required) — Identify the document using its API UUID or your external ID.
- Update Fields — Optionally set the new title, business date, external ID, or source URL. Empty values are omitted from the request, so leaving a field empty does not clear it; the source URL field’s UI description says an empty value clears it, but runtime omits empty strings.
Output shape
a single record
Returns the API response for the updated document as one n8n item. The request uses PATCH; errors follow n8n node error handling.
