Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API, allowing users to perform various operations on different resources within the Halo PSA system. Specifically, for the Category Detail resource and the Post Undefined operation, it sends a POST request with a JSON body to create or update category details including translations.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the management of categories in Halo PSA, such as adding new category details or updating existing ones programmatically. For example, a user might use this node to bulk upload category translations or modify category metadata as part of a workflow that synchronizes data between systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the payload sent in the POST request. It typically contains a translations array with translation objects for the category detail. The default structure is:
json { "translations": [ {} ] }

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item contains:

  • json: The parsed JSON response from the Halo PSA API after performing the POST request on the Category Detail resource.
  • If the request fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message under json.error.

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 identifier, client ID, and client secret for the Halo PSA service.
  • Uses HTTP requests with appropriate headers (X-Tenant, X-HaloPSA-ClientId, X-HaloPSA-ClientSecret) to communicate with the API.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error occurs if the node cannot retrieve the required API authentication credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly configured in n8n.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    Indicates that the specified resource or operation does not exist in the node's configuration. Verify that "Category Detail" and "Post Undefined" are correctly selected.

  • JSON parsing errors
    Since the body property expects valid JSON, malformed JSON input will cause failures. Validate the JSON syntax before running the node.

  • API request failures
    Network issues, invalid credentials, or incorrect request payloads can cause the API call to fail. Check the error messages returned in the output for clues and verify API access and payload correctness.
