Overview

This node interacts with the NinjaOne API to create a related item for a specified entity. It is useful when you want to link or associate additional data or metadata with an existing entity in NinjaOne, such as organizations, documents, locations, nodes, checklists, or knowledge base documents. For example, you might use this node to add a related document to an organization or attach a checklist to a location.

Properties

Name Meaning
Entity Type The type of entity to which the related item will be attached. Options: ORGANIZATION, DOCUMENT, LOCATION, NODE, CHECKLIST, KB DOCUMENT
Entity Id The unique identifier (number) of the entity for which the related item is being created

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the response from the NinjaOne API after creating the related item. This typically includes details about the newly created related item or confirmation of the operation's success. The node does not output binary data.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "12345",
  "entityType": "ORGANIZATION",
  "entityId": 67890,
  "relatedItemDetails": { /* additional info returned by API */ }
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an active NinjaOne API OAuth2 credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses NinjaOne's REST API endpoints and requires network access to NinjaOne services.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the NinjaOne API OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and authorized.
  • Invalid entity ID or type: Verify that the entity ID exists and matches the selected entity type.
  • No binary data error: Not applicable here since this operation does not handle binary data.
  • API errors: If the NinjaOne API returns an error, it will be included in the output JSON under an error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled; otherwise, the node execution will stop with an error.
