LectfulInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Lectful API, enabling automation of various educational platform tasks such as user authentication, course management, lecture handling, enrollments, assignments, quizzes, and more. Specifically, for the Assignment - Submit operation, it allows users to submit assignment content programmatically to a specified assignment ID.

Typical use cases include:

• Automating assignment submissions on behalf of students or systems.
• Integrating assignment submission workflows into larger automation pipelines.
• Collecting and submitting assignment data from external sources or forms.

Example: Automatically submit a student's completed assignment text to the Lectful platform by providing the assignment ID and the submission content.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. For the Assignment Submit operation, the output JSON contains the response from the Lectful API after submitting the assignment content. This typically includes confirmation details or the submitted assignment data returned by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output JSON structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "assignment_submission_id",
  "assignment_id": "12345",
  "content": "Submitted assignment text",
  "submitted_at": "2024-06-01T12:34:56Z",
  ...
}

Dependencies

• Requires access to the Lectful API.
• Requires either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the Lectful API base URL and API key.
• The node uses HTTP requests with Bearer token authentication.
• No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP request capabilities.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual overrides are provided correctly, the node will throw errors indicating missing base URL or API key.
• Invalid Assignment ID: Submitting with an incorrect or non-existent assignment ID may result in API errors; verify the assignment ID is correct.
• API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL can cause request failures.
• Content field empty: The submission content is required; leaving it empty will likely cause the API to reject the request.
• Error messages: Errors thrown by the node usually contain the API error message. Check the message for clues such as authentication failure, invalid parameters, or permission issues.

To resolve:

• Ensure credentials or manual configuration are set properly.
• Verify all required fields are filled.
• Confirm network connectivity and API endpoint correctness.
• Review API documentation for specific error codes if available.
