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 "Service Category" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request with a JSON body to create or update service category data including user access, translations, and access control settings.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the management of service categories in Halo PSA, such as setting permissions, adding translations, or configuring access controls programmatically. For example, an IT service manager could use this node to bulk update service category access rights or localize service categories across multiple languages.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the payload sent in the POST request. It includes arrays for user_access, translations, and access_control. Each array can contain objects defining respective configurations for the service category. The default structure is:
json { "user_access": [{}], "translations": [{}], "access_control": [{}] }

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Halo PSA API after performing the POST request. This typically contains the result of the creation or update operation on the service category, such as confirmation details, IDs, or error messages if the operation failed.

If the operation involves binary data (not applicable here), the node would output that accordingly, but for this operation, only JSON responses are expected.

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 API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error occurs if the node cannot retrieve the necessary API credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly set up and assigned to the node.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    If the specified resource or operation does not exist, verify that the correct resource ("Service Category") and operation ("Post Undefined") names are used.

  • JSON parsing errors
    Since the body property expects a JSON string, malformed JSON will cause errors. Validate the JSON format before running the node.

  • API request failures
    Network issues, incorrect credentials, or invalid request bodies may cause the API to reject the request. Check the error message returned in the output JSON for details.

  • Continue On Fail behavior
    If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
