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 resource Tabname and operation Post Undefined, it sends a POST request with a complex JSON body payload to create or update data in the specified tab.

Typical use cases include automating data entry or updates into custom tables or tabs within Halo PSA, such as submitting structured form data, updating configuration tables, or managing custom fields programmatically.

For example, a user might use this node to post detailed configuration data including custom fields, access controls, validation rules, and lookup triggers to a specific tab in Halo PSA, enabling automated synchronization of external data sources or bulk updates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the data to be posted to the tab. It includes nested structures such as fields, values, table information, client and organization restrictions, database lookup triggers, validation data, visibility conditions, access control settings, SQL variables, and lookup requests. The JSON structure is highly customizable to match the schema expected by the Halo PSA tab.

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

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 data. This typically includes confirmation of the created or updated records, any generated IDs, or error messages if the operation failed.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Halo PSA API.
  • Needs configuration of base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret for the Halo PSA instance.
  • Uses HTTP requests with appropriate headers (X-Tenant, X-HaloPSA-ClientId, X-HaloPSA-ClientSecret) to authenticate and authorize API calls.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If no credentials are provided or they are invalid, the node throws an error "No credentials returned!". Ensure that valid API authentication details are configured in n8n credentials.
  • Resource or Operation Not Found: Errors like "Resource Tabname not found" or "Operation Post Undefined not found for resource Tabname" indicate misconfiguration of the resource or operation parameters. Verify that the correct resource and operation names are selected.
  • JSON Parsing Errors: Since the body property expects valid JSON, malformed JSON input will cause parsing errors. Validate JSON syntax before running the node.
  • API Request Failures: Network issues, incorrect endpoint URLs, or insufficient permissions can cause request failures. Check the API endpoint, network connectivity, and user permissions in Halo PSA.
  • Continue On Fail Behavior: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if some fail, returning error details in the output JSON.
