Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API to perform various operations on different resources. Specifically, for the "Item" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request with a JSON body to create or update an item in the Halo PSA system. This is useful for automating inventory management, syncing product data, or updating item details programmatically.

Typical use cases include:

  • Creating new inventory items with detailed custom fields and supplier information.
  • Updating existing items with complex nested data structures such as stock locations, accounts, and external links.
  • Integrating Halo PSA item data with other systems like QuickBooks or Snelstart via automated workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the item data to be sent to Halo PSA. It supports complex nested structures including custom fields, buttons, suppliers, stock locations, accounting details, tax codes, external links, purchase currency, and related categories. The JSON can be customized to fit specific item configurations required by Halo PSA.

The "Body" property expects a JSON string that will be parsed and sent as the request body. The default example includes placeholders for multiple nested arrays and objects, allowing extensive customization of the item data.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item contains:

  • json: The response from the Halo PSA API after posting the item data. This typically includes the created or updated item details as returned by the API.
  • 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 data.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Halo PSA API.
  • Needs credentials containing base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret for authentication.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with appropriate headers to communicate securely with the Halo PSA service.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!: Ensure that valid API credentials are configured in n8n for the Halo PSA service.
  • Resource or Operation not found: Verify that the selected resource ("Item") and operation ("Post Undefined") exist and are correctly spelled.
  • JSON parsing errors: The "Body" property must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause the node to fail. Use proper JSON formatting and escape characters as needed.
  • API request failures: Network issues, incorrect credentials, or invalid request bodies may cause errors. Check the error messages returned in the output for clues.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" to allow the workflow to proceed even if some items fail, capturing error messages for review.
