Flow Header → Post Undefined

AI-generated

Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API to perform operations related to "Flow Header" resources, specifically supporting a POST operation with a complex JSON body. It allows users to send detailed structured data representing workflow steps, rules, chat teams, and other configurations to the Halo PSA system.

Typical use cases include automating the creation or update of workflow headers in Halo PSA, which can define business process flows, automation rules, and team assignments. For example, a user might automate the deployment of new workflow configurations or update existing ones programmatically as part of a larger IT service management automation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the full structure of the flow header, including steps, actions, conditions, chat teams, rules, output variables, stages, access control, targets, and workflow history. This property accepts a complex nested JSON structure that defines the entire workflow configuration to be posted to Halo PSA.

The "Body" property is expected to be a JSON string parsed into an object before sending. The provided default value is a deeply nested JSON template illustrating the possible fields and subfields.

Output

  • The node outputs the JSON response from the Halo PSA API after posting the flow header data.
  • The output is an array of objects, each containing a json field with the API response for the corresponding input item.
  • If the request fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message in the json.error field.
  • No binary data output is produced by this node.

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 prior to using the node.
  • The node sends HTTP requests with appropriate headers for authentication and content type.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error occurs if the node cannot retrieve the required API credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly set up and selected in the node.

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

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

  • API Request Errors
    Network issues, invalid authentication tokens, or incorrect endpoint URLs may cause request failures. Check the base URL and credentials, and ensure the Halo PSA API is accessible.

  • Handling Large Payloads
    The Body property can be very large and complex. Make sure the payload size does not exceed any limits imposed by the Halo PSA API or n8n.
