Overview

The node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne API to retrieve tickets associated with a specific board in a ticketing system. It is useful for scenarios where users want to programmatically fetch and process tickets from a particular board, such as monitoring open issues, generating reports, or automating workflows based on ticket data.

For example, a user might use this node to:

  • Fetch all tickets from a "Support" board to analyze response times.
  • Retrieve tickets filtered by certain criteria (e.g., priority or status) for automated escalation.
  • Paginate through tickets using cursors to sync large datasets incrementally.

Properties

Name Meaning
Board Id The unique identifier of the board from which to retrieve tickets.
Additional Body Fields Optional fields to customize the request body:
- Sort By JSON array specifying sorting criteria for the tickets.
- Filters JSON array defining filters to apply when retrieving tickets (e.g., status, priority).
- Page Size Number indicating how many tickets to return per page/request.
- Search Criteria String to search within tickets, e.g., keywords or phrases.
- Include Columns JSON array specifying which columns or fields to include in the response.
- Last Cursor Id Numeric cursor ID used for pagination to fetch tickets after a certain point.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the tickets retrieved from the specified board. Each item in the output corresponds to a ticket object containing its details as returned by the API. The structure depends on the API response but typically includes ticket identifiers, titles, statuses, assigned users, timestamps, and any additional requested fields.

If binary data were involved (e.g., attachments), it would be included separately, but this node focuses on JSON ticket data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne service.
  • Needs the base URL of the NinjaOne API configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI integration.
  • Uses the bundled OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) to build properties and handle requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Board Id: If the provided board ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error or empty results. Verify the board ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly set in the node credentials.
  • Malformed JSON in Additional Fields: The Sort By, Filters, and Include Columns fields expect valid JSON arrays. Invalid JSON syntax will cause parsing errors. Use proper JSON formatting.
  • Pagination Issues: Incorrect use of Last Cursor Id may result in repeated or skipped tickets. Use the cursor value returned from previous executions for consistent pagination.
