Overview

This node operation updates an existing list on a Mastodon instance. It allows users to modify the list's title, replies policy, and exclusivity settings. This is useful for managing and organizing Mastodon lists dynamically within an automation workflow, such as updating list details based on external triggers or user input.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the title of a Mastodon list to reflect a new theme or purpose.
  2. Changing the replies policy of a list to control which replies are shown within the list.
  3. Setting the exclusivity of a list to remove its members from the Home feed.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mastodon URL The URL of the Mastodon instance to connect to, ensuring the node interacts with the correct server.
Authentication Type The method used to authenticate with the Mastodon instance, either OAuth2 or Access Token.
List ID The unique identifier of the list to be updated.
Title The new title for the list.
Replies Policy Defines which replies to show within the list, controlling the visibility of replies.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the updated list.
  • title - The updated title of the list.
  • replies_policy - The updated replies policy of the list.
  • exclusive - The updated exclusivity status of the list.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the correct authentication type is selected and valid credentials are provided; otherwise, authentication errors will occur.
  • Verify that the List ID is correct and that the list exists on the Mastodon instance to avoid errors related to non-existent resources.
  • If the operation is not implemented or the resource is unknown, the node will throw an error indicating the unsupported operation or resource.
