Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API to perform various actions on Halo PSA resources. Specifically, for the "Actions" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it allows sending a complex JSON body payload to create or update data in Halo PSA via a POST request.

Typical use cases include automating the creation or modification of tickets, assets, approvals, or other entities within Halo PSA by providing detailed structured data. For example, you might use this node to programmatically post new asset information, update approval processes, or add custom fields and attachments to existing records.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the detailed data to send in the POST request. This can include nested structures such as attachments, custom fields, reactions, translations, approval process users, assets, tags, external links, consignment lines, software details, licenses, and many other complex entities supported by Halo PSA. The property expects a valid JSON structure matching the Halo PSA API schema for the action being performed.

Output

The node outputs an array of items where each item contains a json field holding the response from the Halo PSA API for the corresponding input item. The response JSON reflects the result of the POST request, typically including confirmation of created or updated records, error messages if any, or other relevant data returned by the API.

If the request fails and the node is configured to continue on failure, the output will contain an error message inside the json.error field.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Halo PSA API.
  • Needs configuration of base URL, tenant ID, client ID, and client secret for the Halo PSA instance.
  • Uses HTTP requests with appropriate headers (X-Tenant, X-HaloPSA-ClientId, X-HaloPSA-ClientSecret) to communicate with the API.
  • The node depends on n8n's HTTP request helper methods and JSON parsing capabilities.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials: If credentials are not provided or invalid, the node will throw an error "No credentials returned!" Ensure that the API authentication details are correctly set up in n8n.
  • Invalid Resource or Operation: Errors like "Resource Actions not found" or "Operation Post Undefined not found for resource Actions" indicate misconfiguration of parameters. Verify that the resource and operation names match those supported by the node.
  • Malformed JSON Body: Since the Body property expects JSON, invalid JSON syntax will cause parsing errors. Use proper JSON formatting and validate the structure before running the node.
  • API Request Failures: Network issues, incorrect endpoint URLs, or insufficient permissions may cause request failures. Check the error messages returned in the output and verify API access rights and endpoint correctness.
  • Dynamic Path Parameters: If the endpoint URL contains placeholders (e.g., {id}), ensure all required path parameters are supplied; otherwise, the request URL will be malformed.
