Cogfy Tables

Interact with Cogfy Tables API for collections, records, and fields management

Actions26

Overview

This node allows updating an existing collection in the Cogfy Tables system. It is useful when you want to modify metadata of a collection such as its name or description without altering the records inside it. Typical use cases include renaming collections for clarity, updating descriptions to reflect changes in data purpose, or correcting typos.

For example, if you have a collection named "Customer Data" and want to rename it to "Client Data" with an updated description, this node can perform that update seamlessly.

Properties

Name Meaning
Collection Id The unique identifier of the collection you want to update.
Name New name for the collection.
Description New description text for the collection.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated collection object returned by the API. This typically includes fields like the collection's ID, updated name, description, and possibly timestamps or other metadata reflecting the current state after the update.

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 API configured in the credentials.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with JSON payloads to interact with the API.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Collection Id: If the provided collection ID does not exist, the API will likely return a 404 error. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly set.
  • Empty Update Fields: If neither name nor description is provided, the update request may be rejected or have no effect. Provide at least one field to update.
  • API Rate Limits: Frequent updates might hit rate limits imposed by the API. Check API documentation for limits and retry strategies.
