Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API to perform operations on various resources. Specifically, for the Device resource and the Post Undefined operation, it sends a POST request with a complex JSON body to create or update device-related data in Halo PSA.

Typical use cases include automating the creation or updating of devices and their related hierarchical and associated data within Halo PSA. For example, you might use this node to programmatically add new devices along with their custom fields, software, contracts, users, and asset relationships, enabling seamless synchronization between your systems and Halo PSA.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the detailed device data to be sent in the request body. This includes nested structures such as fields, custom fields, buttons, ascendant and descendant assets, users, contracts, scheduled tickets, software, stock details, services, licenses, external links, access control, and many other related entities. The property expects a valid JSON structure describing the device and its related data.

The "Body" property supports a very extensive and deeply nested JSON schema allowing comprehensive device data submission.

Output

  • The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed.
  • Each output item contains a json field with the response from the Halo PSA API after performing the POST operation.
  • The response JSON reflects the created or updated device data as returned by the API.
  • No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Halo PSA API.
  • The node uses credentials that provide:
    • Base URL of the Halo PSA instance
    • Tenant identifier
    • Client ID
    • Client Secret
  • These credentials must be configured in n8n before using the node.
  • The node depends on the Halo PSA REST API being accessible and properly configured to accept the POST requests.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!: Indicates missing or misconfigured API credentials. Ensure the API key credential is set up correctly in n8n.
  • Resource or Operation not found: If the specified resource or operation does not exist, verify that the resource name is "Device" and the operation is correctly selected.
  • Invalid JSON in Body: Since the Body property expects JSON, malformed JSON will cause errors. Validate the JSON syntax before running.
  • API Request Errors: Network issues, authentication failures, or invalid data may cause API errors. Check the error message returned in the output JSON for details.
  • Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.

Links and References

Note: The provided Body JSON schema is highly complex and nested, reflecting the rich data model of devices in Halo PSA. Users should tailor the JSON payload according to their specific needs and the API documentation.
