Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API, allowing users to perform various operations on different resources within the Halo PSA system. It is designed to send HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH) to the Halo PSA endpoints, handling authentication and request construction automatically.

For the specific Resource "Connected Instance" and Operation "Post Undefined," the node sends a POST request with a JSON body to a defined endpoint related to connected instances. This operation is useful for creating or updating data related to connected instances in Halo PSA by sending custom JSON payloads.

Common scenarios:

  • Automating the creation or update of connected instance configurations.
  • Integrating external systems that manage connected instances with Halo PSA.
  • Sending custom JSON data to Halo PSA endpoints where no predefined schema exists.

Example:
A user wants to create a new connected instance by providing a JSON object describing the instance details. They input this JSON into the "Body" property, and the node sends it as the request body to the appropriate Halo PSA API endpoint.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the request body to be sent with the POST request. Users can input any valid JSON structure here to define the data for the connected instance.

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 for the respective request.
  • If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message instead of the expected response.

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 n8n's HTTP request helper methods to communicate with the Halo PSA REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error indicates missing or misconfigured API credentials. Ensure that the required API authentication token and other credential fields are correctly set up in n8n.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    Occurs if the specified resource or operation does not exist in the node's configuration. Verify that "Connected Instance" and "Post Undefined" are valid selections.

  • JSON parsing errors
    When entering the "Body" property, ensure the JSON is well-formed. Invalid JSON will cause parsing failures.

  • API request failures
    Network issues, incorrect endpoint URLs, or invalid authentication details can cause request errors. Check the credentials and network connectivity.

  • Handling errors with Continue On Fail
    Enabling "Continue On Fail" allows the workflow to proceed even if some requests fail, returning error messages in the output for troubleshooting.
