Overview

This node interacts with the "List" resource to perform the operation "Retrieve Exec Hide From Gal." It is designed to query a specific list item based on given parameters, likely related to managing visibility or filtering within a directory or address book system (GAL typically stands for Global Address List). This node would be beneficial in scenarios where you need to programmatically check or retrieve information about whether an entity is hidden from a global address list, such as in user management or access control workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating checks on user visibility status in an organization's directory.
  • Integrating with systems that manage mailing lists or contact visibility.
  • Filtering or auditing users who are hidden from certain views or groups.

Properties

Name Meaning
Hidefromgal A string value indicating the hide-from-GAL status or filter criteria to apply.
Id The unique identifier of the list item to retrieve.
Tenantfilter A string used to filter results by tenant or organizational unit context.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved list item matching the provided query parameters. The structure of the json output field will contain details about the item’s visibility status and associated metadata as returned by the API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would typically represent attachments or files related to the list item, but this is not indicated in the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • Needs configuration of the base URL for the API endpoint (resourceApiUrl).
  • Depends on the external package @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node for building request properties and handling OpenAPI specifications.
  • Uses an OpenAPI specification file (openapi.json) bundled with the node for defining available operations and properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or incorrect API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect or missing required properties (hidefromgal, id, tenantfilter) will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems to the configured API endpoint may cause timeouts or connection errors.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credentials setup.
    • Validation errors suggest required parameters are missing or malformed; ensure all required fields are correctly filled.
    • API response errors might indicate issues with the backend service; check API status and logs.
