Overview
This node operation updates a core user view key within the "User Views" resource of an external system. It is designed to modify specific attributes of a user view by sending updated data fields to the API endpoint. This can be useful in scenarios where administrators or automated workflows need to programmatically adjust user interface views, permissions, or configurations tied to user profiles.
For example, if a company wants to update the identifier or other metadata of a user view dynamically based on certain triggers or events, this node operation facilitates that update through an API call.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Body Fields | Optional additional fields to include in the request body when updating the user view. Currently supports: Id (string) which represents the identifier of the user view to update. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after attempting to update the user view key. This typically includes confirmation of the update, the updated user view details, or error information if the update failed.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
- The base URL for the API is configured via credentials and used as the request base path.
- Depends on an OpenAPI-based client library (
@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node) for building requests. - The node expects the external API to accept and respond with JSON-formatted data.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Id: If the
Idfield is not provided or incorrect, the API may reject the update request. Ensure the correct user view identifier is supplied. - Authentication errors: Failure to provide valid API credentials will result in authorization errors. Verify that the API key or token is correctly configured.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems to the API base URL will cause request failures. Check network access and endpoint availability.
- Invalid additional fields: Adding unsupported or malformed fields in the additional body fields collection may cause the API to return validation errors.
