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 Uname resource and the Post Undefined operation, it sends a complex JSON payload as the request body to the Halo PSA API endpoint.

Typical use cases include automating the creation or update of multiple interconnected entities such as sites, teams, departments, clients, roles, notifications, custom fields, and access controls in bulk within the Halo PSA platform. This is beneficial for organizations looking to programmatically manage their PSA configurations or synchronize external data sources with Halo PSA.

For example, a user might use this node to post a comprehensive configuration object that defines organizational structure, roles, permissions, and notification settings all at once, streamlining setup or updates without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the full payload to send to the Halo PSA API. It includes nested arrays and objects for sites, teams, departments, clients, ticket types, qualifications, asset types, roles (with sub-properties like charge rates, teams, departments, clients, ticket types, asset fields, custom fields, appointment types, notifications, claims, custom buttons, access control lists, and more), additional roles, claims, access control entries, notifications (including personal notifications), custom fields (with database lookup triggers, validation reasons, validation data, and rows to delete), charge rates, ticket types, approvals, rules, canned text, custom tables, dashboards, workflows, SLAs, templates, outcomes, workdays, email templates, message groups, report groups, field groups, language packs, item groups, asset groups, service categories, services, suppliers, supplier contracts, chat profiles, FAQ lists, devices, presence subscription details (including Azure connection mappings), calendar options, database lookups, asset fields, custom fields, appointment types, and custom buttons. The structure is highly nested and detailed, designed to represent a comprehensive configuration or data set for the Uname resource in Halo PSA.

Output

  • The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed.
  • Each output item contains a json property holding the response from the Halo PSA API after posting the provided JSON body.
  • If the API call fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message under the json.error property.
  • No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Halo PSA API.
  • The node expects credentials providing:
    • 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 including authentication tokens to communicate with the Halo PSA API.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!
    This error occurs if the node cannot retrieve the required API credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly configured and selected in the node.

  • Resource or Operation not found
    If the specified resource or operation does not exist in the node's configuration, verify that the correct resource ("Uname") and operation ("Post Undefined") are selected.

  • 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 payloads can cause the API request to fail. Check the error messages returned in the output and verify connectivity and payload correctness.

  • Large payloads
    Given the complexity and size of the JSON body, very large payloads may cause timeouts or memory issues. Consider splitting data into smaller chunks if necessary.
