Overview
The node interacts with the NinjaOne API to update an existing document template. This operation is useful when you need to modify the structure or content of a document template stored in NinjaOne, such as updating formatting, placeholders, or other template details.
Typical use cases include:
- Automating updates to document templates used for reports, invoices, or tickets.
- Integrating template management into workflows where document templates must be dynamically adjusted based on external data or events.
For example, you might update a service report template to include new fields or change branding elements automatically whenever your company updates its documentation standards.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Document Template ID | The unique numeric identifier of the document template to update. |
| JSON Parameters | A JSON object representing the updated document template data and structure. |
Output
The node outputs the response from the NinjaOne API after attempting to update the document template. The output is structured as JSON containing the updated document template details or status information confirming the update.
If the API supports it, the output may include fields such as:
- Template ID
- Template name or title
- Updated content or metadata
- Status or confirmation message
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active NinjaOne API connection authenticated via OAuth2 or another supported authentication method.
- The node expects the base URL for the NinjaOne API, which can be configured in the credentials.
- Proper permissions on the NinjaOne account to update document templates are necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Document Template ID: If the provided ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the template was not found. Verify the ID before running the node.
- Malformed JSON Parameters: Ensure that the JSON object provided is valid and matches the expected schema for document templates in NinjaOne. Invalid JSON will cause request failures.
- Authentication Errors: If the API credentials are missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Reconfigure or refresh credentials as needed.
- Permission Denied: The user associated with the API credentials must have rights to update document templates; otherwise, the API will reject the request.
