Overview
This node interacts with the Calendarlink API to retrieve event collections associated with a specific organization. The "Get" operation under the "Event Collection" resource fetches collections of events tied to an organization identified by its ID. This is useful for scenarios where you want to programmatically access grouped event data from Calendarlink, such as displaying all event collections for a company or integrating these collections into other workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically syncing event collections from Calendarlink into a CRM system.
- Generating reports based on event collections for organizational analysis.
- Triggering downstream processes when new event collections are available.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Organization ID | The unique identifier of the organization whose event collections you want to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the event collections retrieved from the Calendarlink API for the specified organization. The structure typically includes details about each event collection such as collection IDs, names, descriptions, and possibly metadata related to the events within those collections.
If the API supports binary data (e.g., attachments or calendar files), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output focuses on JSON event collection data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Calendarlink API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in the node's credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://my.calendarlink.com/api/v1.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Organization ID: Ensure that the Organization ID property is correctly set and corresponds to a valid organization in Calendarlink.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the Calendarlink API endpoint.
- API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API might throttle requests; consider adding delays or handling retries.
Common error messages may include unauthorized access, not found errors if the organization ID does not exist, or validation errors if required parameters are missing.
