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 "Field" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request with a JSON body to create or update field-related data in Halo PSA.

Typical use cases include automating the management of custom fields or configurations in Halo PSA, such as setting rates, access controls, lookup values, translations, and visibility conditions programmatically. For example, a user might automate the creation of complex field configurations based on external data sources or workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the payload sent in the POST request. It includes arrays such as values (with nested objects for rates, access_control, sub_lookup, translations) and visibility_conditions. This property allows detailed configuration of the field's attributes and related settings.

The Body property expects a JSON structure similar to:

{
  "values": [
    {
      "rates": [{}],
      "access_control": [{}],
      "sub_lookup": [{}],
      "translations": [{}]
    }
  ],
  "visibility_conditions": [{}]
}

Users can customize this JSON to specify the exact field data they want to post.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response received from the Halo PSA API after performing the POST request. The output is structured as an array of items, each containing a json property with the API response corresponding to the input item.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would be included accordingly, but this operation primarily deals with JSON data.

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 requests via HTTP headers.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Halo PSA API and n8n's HTTP request capabilities.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error occurs if the node cannot retrieve the required API credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly configured in n8n.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    If the specified resource or operation does not exist, verify that the correct resource ("Field") and operation ("Post Undefined") are selected.

  • JSON parsing errors
    Since the Body property expects valid JSON, malformed JSON will cause errors. Use proper JSON formatting and validate the JSON before running the node.

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

  • Continue On Fail behavior
    If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
