Overview
This node is designed to update a specific department key within the company configuration of the Departments resource. It allows users to modify department-related data by sending an update request with optional additional fields. This is useful in scenarios where organizational structures or department details need to be programmatically maintained or synchronized, such as updating department identifiers or metadata in an integrated accounting or ERP system.
Practical examples include:
- Updating the identifier of a department after a reorganization.
- Adding or modifying custom metadata fields related to a department.
- Automating department updates as part of a larger workflow involving company configuration management.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Body Fields | Optional fields to include in the update request body. Currently supports: - Id: The unique identifier of the department to update. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the update operation on the department key. This typically includes confirmation of the updated department details or status information indicating success or failure of the update request.
If the API supports it, binary data output is not indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the AvantGuard Sage Intacct Company Configuration API.
- Depends on the base URL and authentication credentials configured in the node settings.
- Uses the
@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-nodepackage for building requests based on the OpenAPI specification.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Id: If the "Id" field is not provided or incorrect, the update will fail. Ensure that the department ID is valid and corresponds to an existing department.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or API endpoint issues: Confirm that the base URL is correct and the API service is reachable.
- Unexpected response format: If the API changes its response structure, the node might not parse the output correctly; check for updates to the node or API documentation.
