AvantGuard - DNSFilterInstall

Overview

This node operation creates a new user within a distributor context. It is designed to send user membership information and related data to an external service, typically for managing users associated with distributors in an organizational system. This operation is useful when automating the onboarding of users into distributor accounts or managing their permissions programmatically.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically adding new sales representatives to a distributor's user list.
• Managing user roles and permissions within distributor organizations via API calls.
• Integrating user creation workflows with CRM or ERP systems that track distributor relationships.

Properties

The Body property expects a JSON input similar to:

{
  "user": {
    "memberships": [
      {
        "organization_permission_ids": [null]
      }
    ]
  },
  "membership": {}
}

Users should replace null and empty objects with actual values relevant to their use case.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the external service after attempting to create the distributor user. This typically includes confirmation of the created user's details, status messages, or error information if the creation failed.

No binary data output is indicated by the source code.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external service managing distributor users.
• The base URL for API requests is set to "https://api.dnsfilter.com" as per the bundled source, indicating the external service endpoint.
• Proper configuration of authentication credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing required fields in the Body JSON can cause request failures.
  • Authentication errors due to incorrect or expired API keys.
  • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the external API endpoint.

• Error messages:

  • Errors related to malformed JSON in the Body property will require correction of the input format.
  • Authorization errors suggest checking the API key credential setup.
  • API response errors may indicate invalid permission IDs or other business logic constraints; reviewing the API documentation for valid values is recommended.

• Refer to the external API documentation of the distributor management service for detailed schema and permission settings.
