Overview

This node operation allows users to create scheduled reports by sending a structured JSON payload to an external API. It is useful for automating the generation and distribution of reports on a set schedule, which can be beneficial in scenarios such as regular performance monitoring, compliance reporting, or periodic data summaries. For example, a user might configure this node to create a report that is automatically sent to specific recipients within an organization at defined intervals.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Body Fields Optional JSON fields to include in the request body when creating the scheduled report. This includes specifying details like report recipients and selected sub-organizations. The value must be valid JSON representing the scheduled report resource structure.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after attempting to create the scheduled report. This typically includes confirmation details about the created report, such as identifiers, status, and any metadata returned by the service. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external service.
  • The node uses a base URL https://api.dnsfilter.com indicating it interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API or a related service.
  • Proper configuration of HTTP headers (Accept: application/json, Content-Type: application/json) is required for successful communication.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Additional Body Fields: If the JSON provided in the "Additional Body Fields" property is malformed, the node will likely fail to send the request properly. Ensure the JSON syntax is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key is correctly configured.
  • API Endpoint Issues: Network issues or incorrect base URL configurations may prevent the node from reaching the API. Confirm network connectivity and endpoint correctness.
  • Unexpected API Responses: If the API returns errors due to invalid data or server issues, review the response message for clues and adjust the input accordingly.
