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 facilitate automation and data exchange between n8n workflows and Halo PSA by making authenticated HTTP requests to the API endpoints.

A common use case is automating ticket management, customer data updates, or asset tracking in Halo PSA without manual intervention. For example, a user could create new tickets automatically when certain conditions are met in other systems, or update customer information based on external CRM data.

Specifically, for the "External Link" resource with the "Post Undefined" operation, the node sends a POST request with a JSON body to an endpoint related to external links in Halo PSA. This allows creating or posting data associated with external links dynamically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the request body to be sent with the POST request. The content of this JSON is parsed and routed as the HTTP request body.

Output

The node outputs an array of items where each item contains a json property holding the response from the Halo PSA API for the corresponding input item.

  • The json field contains the parsed JSON response returned by the API.
  • If the request fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message inside the json.error field.
  • No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Halo PSA API, including base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret.
  • The node uses these credentials to authenticate API requests via custom headers.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Halo PSA API and its authentication are required.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error occurs if the node cannot retrieve the necessary API 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 the resource name is exactly "External Link" and the operation is correctly set to "Post Undefined".

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

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

  • When "Continue On Fail" is enabled, errors are captured in the output rather than stopping execution, which helps in debugging batch operations.
