Overview

This node facilitates managing approval actions on nodes within a system, specifically allowing users to approve or reject nodes. It is useful in workflows where automated or manual validation of nodes is required before proceeding with further processing. For example, in IT management or security automation, this node can be used to programmatically approve or reject device nodes based on certain criteria or human input.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mode The approval action to perform. Options: "APPROVE" to approve the node, "REJECT" to reject it.
Additional Body Fields Optional additional fields to include in the request body. Currently supports:
- Devices: JSON array specifying devices related to the approval operation.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the approval operation. This typically includes confirmation of the action taken (approved or rejected) and any relevant metadata returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the AvantGuard NinjaOne service.
  • Depends on the external AvantGuard NinjaOne API endpoint specified by the base URL in credentials.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI integration.
  • Requires proper configuration of the API base URL and authentication credentials in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect JSON format in the "Devices" field under Additional Body Fields may cause request errors.
    • Selecting an unsupported mode value (other than APPROVE or REJECT) will likely cause the node to fail.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • JSON parsing errors for the Devices field suggest malformed JSON input; ensure valid JSON syntax.
    • API response errors may indicate permission issues or invalid resource identifiers; check API permissions and inputs.
