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 "Generic" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request with a customizable JSON body to a specified endpoint of the Halo PSA API.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Creating or updating complex data structures in Halo PSA that do not have predefined operations in the node.
  • Sending custom or bulk data payloads to Halo PSA endpoints that require flexible JSON input.
  • Automating interactions with Halo PSA where the exact API endpoint or payload structure may vary.

Practical example:

  • A user wants to post a detailed configuration object containing asset types, booking types, access control settings, and other nested data to a generic endpoint in Halo PSA. This node allows them to define the entire JSON body and send it directly, enabling advanced customization beyond standard CRUD operations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body The JSON payload to send in the POST request. It supports a complex nested structure including fields such as assettypes, accounts_mappings, new_external_link, and access_control. Users can customize this JSON to match the required data schema for their specific use case.

The "Body" property accepts raw JSON input, which 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 parsed JSON response returned by the Halo PSA API after the POST request.
  • If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message instead of the expected response.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

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 are needed beyond the configured Halo PSA API credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials: The node will throw an error if the required API credentials are not provided or invalid. Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Invalid JSON Body: If the JSON provided in the "Body" property is malformed or does not conform to the expected schema, the API may reject the request. Validate the JSON before execution.
  • API Errors: Errors returned from the Halo PSA API (e.g., 4xx or 5xx HTTP status codes) will cause the node to throw unless "Continue On Fail" is enabled, in which case the error message is included in the output.
  • Dynamic Endpoint Issues: Since this operation is "Post Undefined," ensure that the correct resource and operation parameters are selected to avoid endpoint resolution errors.
