Overview

This node allows users to create a new collection in the Cogfy Tables system. Collections are logical groupings of records or data entries, similar to tables in a database. Creating collections is useful when organizing data into distinct categories or datasets for further manipulation, querying, or integration.

Common scenarios include:

Setting up a new dataset structure before importing or entering data.
Automating the creation of categorized data containers as part of a workflow.
Managing multiple collections dynamically based on external triggers or inputs.

For example, you might use this node to create a "Customer Feedback" collection where all feedback entries will be stored, or a "Product Inventory" collection to organize product details.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Name	The name of the collection to create. This is a required string that identifies the collection.
Description	An optional string describing the purpose or contents of the collection.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created collection object. This typically includes fields such as the collection's unique identifier, name, description, and possibly metadata like creation timestamps.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Cogfy Tables API.
Needs the base URL of the Cogfy Tables service configured in the node credentials.
The node sends HTTP requests with JSON payloads to the Cogfy Tables REST API.

Troubleshooting

Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly set in the node credentials.
Validation errors: If the "Name" property is empty or contains invalid characters, the API may reject the request. Provide a valid, non-empty name.
Network issues: Check connectivity to the Cogfy Tables API endpoint.
API errors: Review error messages returned by the API for hints (e.g., duplicate collection names).
