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 "Release Type" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request with a JSON body to create or update data related to release types.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the management of release types in a service management workflow, such as creating new release categories or updating existing ones based on external triggers or data sources.

For example, you might use this node to automatically add a new release type when a new software version is ready for deployment, or to update release type details from an external database.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the data to send in the request body. This contains the details of the release type to create or update. The JSON can be any valid structure expected by the Halo PSA API for this resource and operation.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item has a json field containing the response from the Halo PSA API for that particular request.

  • The json output typically includes the created or updated release type data as returned by the API.
  • If an error occurs and the node is configured to continue on failure, the json will contain an error field with the error message.
  • No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Halo PSA API.
  • Needs credentials 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 with appropriate headers for authentication and content type.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error indicates missing or misconfigured API credentials. Ensure that the required API key credential is properly set up in n8n.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    If the specified resource or operation does not exist, verify that the correct resource and operation names are used and supported by the node.

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

  • API request failures
    Network issues, incorrect credentials, or invalid request bodies may cause API errors. Check the error messages returned in the output and verify connectivity and data correctness.

  • Continue on Fail behavior
    If enabled, the node will output error messages in the json.error field instead of stopping execution, which helps in batch processing scenarios.
