Overview

This node interacts with the ShipStation API to create a new tag resource. It is useful in scenarios where users want to programmatically add tags to their ShipStation account for organizing shipments, products, or other entities. For example, a user can automate the creation of tags based on certain criteria or workflows within their shipping process.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a new tag with specific attributes provided as JSON data to categorize shipments.
2. Automating tag creation to streamline shipment management and reporting.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The JSON response from the ShipStation API representing the created tag resource.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ShipStation API.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include malformed JSON data in the 'JSON Data' input, which can cause API errors. Ensure the JSON is valid and matches the expected schema for a tag resource.
• API errors returned from ShipStation are handled and surfaced as node errors; check the error message for details such as authentication issues or invalid data.
• If no data is received from the API, the node throws an error indicating no data was returned, which may suggest connectivity or API endpoint issues.
