Overview
This node integrates with the Resource Guru API to manage clients and projects. Specifically, for the Client - Create operation, it allows users to create a new client record in Resource Guru by providing essential details such as the client's name and optional notes.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating client onboarding workflows, syncing client data from other systems into Resource Guru, or programmatically managing client records without manual entry.
For example, when a new client signs up on a website, this node can be used to automatically create that client in Resource Guru with their name and any relevant notes, streamlining project management setup.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the client to be created. This is a required field. |
| Notes | Optional additional information or comments about the client. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created client object as returned by the Resource Guru API. This typically includes fields such as the client's unique ID, name, notes, and metadata related to the client record.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Resource Guru API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is dynamically constructed using the account identifier from the credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key or OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions to create clients.
- Validation errors: The "Name" property is mandatory; missing or empty values will cause the API to reject the request.
- API connectivity issues: Verify network access to the Resource Guru API endpoint and confirm the account ID used in the base URL is correct.
- Unexpected API responses: Check if the Resource Guru API has changed or if there are rate limits affecting requests.
