Overview
The node named "Robolly" is designed to retrieve data from the Robolly service. Specifically, for the "Get Template Elements" operation, it fetches elements associated with a selected template by its name or ID. This node is useful in scenarios where users want to programmatically access and manipulate template components stored in Robolly, such as for automation workflows involving document generation, content templating, or dynamic data insertion.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically retrieving template elements to populate documents or reports.
- Integrating template data into other systems or workflows.
- Dynamically selecting templates and extracting their components based on workflow logic.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Template Name or ID | Select a template from a dropdown list or specify its ID via an expression. This determines which template's elements will be retrieved. |
Output
The output of this node consists of JSON objects representing the elements of the specified template. Each item in the output array corresponds to a template element, containing its details as provided by the Robolly API.
If multiple input items are processed, the output pairs each returned element with the originating input item index for traceability.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Robolly service.
- The node depends on internal methods to load available templates and their elements dynamically.
- Proper configuration of the Robolly API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials can cause authentication failures.
- Specifying a non-existent template ID or name may result in empty or error responses.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Robolly API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Template not found: Ensure the template ID or name is correct and accessible by the authenticated user.
- Timeout or network errors: Check internet connection and Robolly service status.
