Event → Post Undefined

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 "Event" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request to create or update an event by submitting JSON data in the request body.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating ticketing workflows, creating or updating events programmatically based on external triggers, or integrating Halo PSA event management into broader automation pipelines.

For example, you could use this node to automatically log events from another system into Halo PSA whenever certain conditions are met, such as when a new support ticket is created or updated.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body The JSON content of the event to post. This should be a valid JSON string representing the event data to send in the request body.

Note: The property expects a number type input but uses a routing expression to parse its value as JSON before sending, so effectively it expects a JSON string that will be parsed and sent as the request body.

Output

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

  • json: The response from the Halo PSA API after posting the event. This typically includes details about the created or updated event.
  • If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message instead.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Halo PSA API.
  • Needs configuration of the base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret for the Halo PSA API.
  • Uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Halo PSA REST endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!: Indicates missing or misconfigured API authentication credentials. Ensure the API key and related settings are correctly set up in n8n.
  • Resource or Operation not found: Happens if the specified resource or operation does not exist in the node's configuration. Verify that "Event" and "Post Undefined" are valid selections.
  • JSON parsing errors: Since the "Body" property expects a JSON string that is parsed before sending, invalid JSON will cause errors. Validate the JSON format before running the node.
  • API request failures: Network issues, incorrect endpoint URLs, or invalid authentication can cause request errors. Check the API credentials and network connectivity.
  • Enabling "Continue On Fail" allows the workflow to proceed even if some items fail, returning error messages in the output.
