Overview

This node is designed to update distributor information via an API. It allows users to send a JSON body containing the updated distributor data, which the node then forwards as a query parameter in the request. This functionality is useful for workflows that need to programmatically modify distributor records, such as updating contact details, status, or other relevant attributes.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically updating distributor profiles when new data is received from external systems.
  • Integrating with CRM or ERP systems to keep distributor information synchronized.
  • Triggering updates based on events like order processing or inventory changes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the distributor data to update. The JSON should contain a distributor object with the fields to be updated. Example structure: { "distributor": { ... } }. This property is required.

Output

The node outputs JSON data reflecting the response from the API after attempting to update the distributor. The exact structure depends on the API's response but typically includes confirmation of the update or error details if the operation failed.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the target service.
  • The base URL for requests is set to "https://api.dnsfilter.com".
  • The node expects the API to accept and return JSON-formatted data.
  • Proper configuration of credentials and network access to the API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or malformed JSON in the Body property can cause request failures.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication will result in authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credentials.
    • Validation errors from the API suggest the JSON body does not meet expected schema; check the distributor object structure.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; ensure the API endpoint is reachable.

Links and References

  • Refer to the API documentation of the distributor management service for detailed schema and supported fields in the distributor object.
  • n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use JSON properties in nodes.
