Overview

This node integrates with the Xing API to manage company-related actions, specifically allowing users to unfollow a company on Xing. The "Unfollow Company" operation removes the authenticated user's follow status from a specified company.

Common scenarios for this node include:

• Automating social media management workflows where you want to programmatically unfollow companies.
• Cleaning up followed companies based on certain criteria or triggers in your automation.
• Integrating with other systems to synchronize company follow statuses.

For example, you could use this node in an automation that unfollows companies after a certain event or time period, helping maintain a curated list of followed companies.

Properties

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Xing API after attempting to unfollow the specified company. This typically includes confirmation of the action or details about the unfollowed company.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential and OAuth2 authentication configured for accessing the Xing API.
• The node depends on the external Xing API service at https://api.xing.com.
• Proper credentials must be set up in n8n to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Company ID: Ensure the Company ID provided is correct and corresponds to an existing company on Xing.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key and OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and Xing API status if requests fail unexpectedly.

• Error messages:

  • "Unknown operation: unfollowCompany": This would indicate a misconfiguration or typo in the operation name; ensure it is exactly "unfollowCompany".
  • API error responses related to authorization or invalid parameters will be returned as error messages in the node output. Review these messages to adjust credentials or input values accordingly.
