Overview

This node integrates with the STEM Connect API to manage telecommunications operations. Specifically, for the ISP Add operation, it allows users to add a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the STEM Connect database. This is useful in scenarios where a telecom operator or service provider needs to programmatically maintain their list of ISPs, linking them to Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) and managing their aliases.

Practical example:
A telecom company automates their network management workflows and wants to add new ISPs as they onboard new partners. Using this node, they can input ISP details and link them to the appropriate VNO alias, streamlining the provisioning process without manual database updates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Subsystem Selects the API subsystem to use. Options: Main (default), Portal, API
ISP Name The official name of the ISP to add
ISP Alias An alias or shorthand name for the ISP
VNO Alias The alias of the Virtual Network Operator (VNO) to which this ISP will be linked

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the STEM Connect API after attempting to add the ISP. This typically includes confirmation details about the newly added ISP or error messages if the operation failed.

The output is an array of JSON objects, each corresponding to one input item processed. For the "Add ISP" operation, the output JSON contains the API's response data confirming the addition.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the STEM Connect API.
  • Requires an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials for the STEM Connect API.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the STEM Connect backend endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing incomplete ISP details (e.g., missing ISP Name) may result in API validation errors.
    • Incorrect VNO Alias linkage might cause the ISP not to associate properly.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Validation errors from the API: Ensure all required fields (ISP Name, ISP Alias, VNO Alias) are provided and correctly formatted.
    • Network errors: Verify network connectivity to the STEM Connect API endpoint.
