View Filter → Post Undefined

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 "View Filter" resource and the "Post Undefined" operation, it sends a POST request with a JSON body that defines filters to the corresponding API endpoint.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the creation or updating of view filters in Halo PSA based on dynamic criteria, enabling customized data views or reports. For example, a user might define complex filter conditions programmatically to tailor dashboards or data exports without manual configuration in the Halo PSA interface.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object defining the filter criteria to be posted. It typically contains a filters array, where each filter includes filter_values and multiselect_value arrays. Users provide the exact filter structure as required by the Halo PSA API.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each corresponding to the response from the Halo PSA API for each input item processed. The json field contains the parsed JSON response from the API call related to the posted view filter.

If the operation involves binary data (not applicable here), the node would handle it 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 selected in the node configuration.

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

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

  • API request failures
    Network issues, incorrect credentials, or invalid request bodies can cause API errors. Check the error message returned in the output's json.error field 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.
