Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API to perform various operations on different resources. Specifically, for the Projects resource and the Post Undefined operation, it allows sending a complex JSON body payload to create or update project-related data in Halo PSA.

Typical use cases include automating project creation or updates by sending detailed project information such as tickets, assets, milestones, approvals, budgets, and other nested related entities. This is beneficial for organizations that want to synchronize project data from external systems into Halo PSA or automate project management workflows.

For example, you could use this node to create a new project with associated milestones, attachments, and approvers all in one API call, streamlining project setup processes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the full project data to be sent to the Halo PSA API. This includes nested fields such as child ticket IDs, start and target dates with timezones, custom fields, time entries, delivery and billing addresses, approvers and their history, qualifications, attachments, documents, notes, assets, todo lists, budgets, journeys, audit logs, tags, external links, expenses, milestones, workflows, Google review/question data, contributors, date dependencies, licenses, software details, roles, notifications, and many more deeply nested structures. The JSON structure must conform to the expected schema of the Halo PSA Projects API endpoint.

The property supports entering raw JSON, which will be parsed and sent as the request body.

Output

  • The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Halo PSA API after performing the POST operation.
  • The output JSON contains the result of the project creation or update, including any identifiers, status messages, or error details returned by the API.
  • If the operation fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message describing the failure.
  • No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Halo PSA API, including:
    • 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 uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Halo PSA REST API.
  • The input JSON body must comply with the API's expected schema for projects.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error indicates missing or misconfigured API credentials. Ensure that the Halo PSA API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    If the specified resource or operation does not exist, verify that the resource name is "Projects" and the operation is correctly selected.

  • Invalid JSON in Body
    Since the Body property expects JSON, malformed JSON will cause parsing errors. Validate your JSON before inputting.

  • API Request Errors
    Network issues, authentication failures, or invalid data can cause API errors. Check the error message returned in the output JSON for details.

  • Complex Nested Data
    The Body property supports very complex nested objects. Ensure that all required fields and nested structures conform exactly to the Halo PSA API specification to avoid validation errors.
