Overview

This node, named "AvantGuard - CIPP," integrates with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve execution extension mappings related to lists. Specifically, the "Retrieve Exec Extension Mapping" operation under the "List" resource allows users to query mapping information by providing certain parameters. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically fetch and analyze mapping configurations or extensions associated with lists in the AvantGuard system.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating retrieval of mapping data for audit or reporting purposes.
  • Integrating AvantGuard list mappings into workflows that require dynamic configuration or validation.
  • Synchronizing mapping data between AvantGuard and other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Addmapping A required string parameter sent as a query parameter named addmapping.
Automapping A required string parameter sent as a query parameter named automapping.
List A required string parameter representing the list identifier, sent as a query parameter.

These properties are used as query parameters in the API request to filter or specify the exact mapping data to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data received from the AvantGuard CIPP API corresponding to the requested execution extension mapping. The structure of the JSON output depends on the API response but generally includes details about the mappings related to the specified list and parameters.

If the API returns binary data (not indicated here), it would be accessible via the node's binary output field; however, this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • The base URL for the API is configured dynamically from the provided credentials (resourceApiUrl).
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties from the OpenAPI specification.
  • Uses an OpenAPI JSON definition (openapi.json) bundled with the node to define available operations and parameters.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has access to the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • Incorrect property values: All three properties (Addmapping, Automapping, and List) are required. Missing or empty values may cause the API request to fail.
  • API endpoint issues: Verify that the resourceApiUrl in credentials points to the correct AvantGuard API endpoint.
  • Network errors: Check network connectivity and firewall settings if requests time out or fail to reach the API.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API returns errors, review the parameters sent and consult AvantGuard API documentation for valid values.
