Overview

This node updates an existing List by its ID. It is useful when you need to modify the details or contents of a List in an external system that supports list management via API. For example, you might update a mailing list's attributes or items dynamically based on workflow data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the List to update.
Additional Body Fields Optional JSON fields to include in the update request body. This can contain complex nested data such as list items attributes.

The "Additional Body Fields" property allows adding custom JSON content to the request body, enabling flexible updates beyond just the List ID.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated List object returned from the API after the update operation. This typically includes the List's current state with all applied changes.

If the API supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would be summarized accordingly, but this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key or authentication token configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
  • Depends on an external service exposing a REST API for managing Lists.
  • The base URL and headers are set from the node’s credential configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid List ID: If the provided List ID does not exist, the API may return a "Not Found" error. Verify the ID before running the node.
  • Malformed JSON in Additional Body Fields: Since the additional fields accept raw JSON, syntax errors will cause request failures. Ensure valid JSON formatting.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will result in authorization failures. Confirm correct credential setup.
  • API Rate Limits: Frequent updates may hit rate limits imposed by the external service. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation of the List management service for detailed schema and supported update fields.
  • JSON validation tools can help ensure correctness of the "Additional Body Fields" input.
