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 "Instance" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it enables sending a custom JSON body as a POST request to a dynamically defined endpoint.

Common scenarios include:

  • Creating or updating records in Halo PSA where the exact API endpoint or payload structure is not predefined.
  • Sending arbitrary JSON data to Halo PSA endpoints that may not have dedicated operations in the node yet.
  • Extending the node’s functionality by manually specifying the request body for advanced use cases.

Practical example:

  • A user wants to create a new instance of a custom object in Halo PSA by posting a JSON payload that defines the object's properties. They can input the JSON body directly into the node, which sends it to the appropriate API endpoint.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body The JSON-formatted content to send as the request body in the POST operation. This allows the user to specify any valid JSON structure required by the Halo PSA API for the "Instance" resource's POST action.

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 from the Halo PSA API after performing the POST request with the provided body.
  • 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 node.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Halo PSA API, including base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret.
  • The node depends on network access to the Halo PSA API endpoint.
  • No additional external services are required beyond the Halo PSA API itself.

Troubleshooting

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

  • Resource or Operation not found
    Occurs if the specified resource or operation does not exist in the node's configuration. Verify that "Instance" is a supported resource and "Post Undefined" is a valid operation.

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

  • API request failures
    Network issues, incorrect endpoint URLs, or invalid request bodies can cause the API call to fail. Check the API documentation for correct endpoint usage and ensure the request body matches expected formats.

  • When "Continue On Fail" is enabled, errors do not stop execution but are returned in the output for individual items.
