Overview
This node interacts with the DingTalk AI Table service to parse a shared or direct URL of an AI Table. It extracts and processes data from the provided AI Table URL, enabling automation workflows that require reading or manipulating table data hosted on DingTalk’s platform.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically importing data from a shared AI Table URL into other systems.
- Triggering workflows based on the content or structure of an AI Table.
- Integrating DingTalk AI Tables with other applications without manual copy-pasting.
For example, a user can provide a shared AI Table URL, and the node will parse it to extract relevant information for further processing or analysis in the workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| AI表格 URL | The shared or direct URL of the DingTalk AI Table to parse, e.g., https://alidocs.dingtalk.com/i/nodes/... |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the parsed content or metadata extracted from the specified AI Table URL. This typically includes structured information derived from the table at the given URL.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the code), it would represent file contents or attachments related to the AI Table, but this is not indicated here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the DingTalk API.
- Depends on access to the DingTalk AI Table service via the provided URL.
- Uses Node.js built-in modules (
fs,path) internally, but these are abstracted away from the user. - Must be configured with appropriate credentials in n8n to access DingTalk services.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or inaccessible URL: If the provided AI Table URL is incorrect, expired, or lacks proper sharing permissions, the node may fail to parse it. Verify the URL and ensure it is publicly accessible or shared with the authenticated account.
- Authentication errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key or token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
- Operation not found error: If the operation parameter is misconfigured or missing, the node throws an error indicating the operation was not found. Double-check the selected operation matches "解析URL" under the "AI表格" resource.
- Continue on Fail behavior: If enabled, the node will return error messages in the output JSON instead of stopping execution, which helps in debugging individual items in batch runs.
