Overview

This node operation updates distributor organizations by sending a JSON body containing updated information to the API. It is useful for scenarios where you need to modify details of a specific distributor organization, such as updating SKU lists or other metadata associated with that organization.

Practical examples include:

  • Updating the list of SKUs a distributor offers.
  • Modifying organizational attributes related to distributors in your system.
  • Automating bulk updates to distributor data based on external triggers or workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Body A JSON object representing the update payload for the distributor organization. Typically includes nested fields such as msp and distributor_skus. Example structure: { "msp": { "distributor_skus": [ ... ] } }
Id The numeric identifier of the organization to update. This specifies which distributor organization's data will be modified.

Output

The node outputs JSON data reflecting the response from the API after attempting to update the distributor organization. This typically includes confirmation of the update, the updated resource representation, or error details if the update failed.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing distributor organizations.
  • The base URL for API requests is set to "https://api.dnsfilter.com" (as per bundled code), but this may be a placeholder or part of a larger integration.
  • The node depends on an OpenAPI-based client library (@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node) for making requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid ID: If the provided organization ID does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the ID before running the node.
  • Malformed JSON Body: Ensure the JSON in the Body property is well-formed and matches the expected schema. Invalid JSON or missing required fields can cause request failures.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent successful updates. Confirm that the API key or token is correctly configured.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the API endpoint will result in errors. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.

Links and References

  • No direct links were found in the source code. For more information, consult the API documentation of the distributor management service you are integrating with.
  • Refer to n8n documentation on creating and using custom nodes with OpenAPI integrations for further guidance.
