Fault Approval → Post Undefined

Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API to perform operations related to "Fault Approval" resources. Specifically, the provided operation is a POST request that sends a complex JSON body representing fault approval data to the API. This node is useful for automating the submission of fault approval records, including detailed fields, custom fields, attachments, and metadata.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automatically creating or updating fault approval tickets in Halo PSA from external systems.
  • Submitting detailed fault approval information with attachments and custom field data.
  • Integrating fault management workflows by programmatically posting fault approvals.

Example: A service desk automation workflow could collect fault details and attachments, then use this node to post the fault approval record directly into Halo PSA for further processing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body The JSON payload representing the fault approval data to be posted. It includes nested structures such as start and target dates with timezones, lists of attachments and folders, detailed fields with validation and access control info, custom fields, and external links. The property expects a valid JSON object matching the Halo PSA fault approval schema.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Halo PSA API after posting the fault approval data. The output structure corresponds to the API's response format for the fault approval creation endpoint and typically contains confirmation details, IDs, status, or error messages.

If the operation fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error object with the error message.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Halo PSA API.
  • The node uses the base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret from the credentials to authorize requests.
  • Network connectivity to the Halo PSA API endpoint is necessary.
  • No additional environment variables are required beyond the configured credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error indicates missing or misconfigured API authentication credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly set up in n8n.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    Occurs if the specified resource ("Fault Approval") or operation ("Post Undefined") is not recognized. Verify that the resource and operation names match those supported by the node.

  • Invalid JSON in Body property
    Since the Body property expects a JSON object, malformed JSON will cause parsing errors. Use the built-in JSON editor or validate your JSON before running.

  • API request failures
    Errors from the Halo PSA API (e.g., authorization errors, validation errors) will be returned in the node output. Check the error message for details and verify API permissions and payload correctness.

  • Attachments handling
    If attachments are included, ensure they conform to the expected structure. Incorrect attachment data may cause API rejections.
