Overview
The Kutt node for n8n allows users to interact with the Kutt URL shortening service. Specifically, when using the Link resource and the Delete operation, this node enables you to delete a specific shortened link from your Kutt account by providing its ID. This is useful for managing and cleaning up your list of short links, especially if certain links are no longer needed or should be invalidated.
Practical Example:
Suppose you have a workflow that generates temporary short links for event registrations. After the event ends, you can use this node to automatically delete those links, ensuring they are no longer accessible.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ID | String | Link ID (the unique identifier of the short link you want to delete) |
Output
- The output is a JSON array containing the response(s) from the Kutt API after attempting to delete the specified link(s).
- The structure of each item in the output array will reflect the Kutt API's response for a DELETE operation on a link. Typically, this may include confirmation of deletion or details about the deleted link.
- No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to the Kutt API.
- API Key: You must provide valid Kutt API credentials via the
kuttCredentialsApicredential in n8n. - n8n Configuration: Ensure the Kutt node is installed and properly configured within your n8n instance.
Troubleshooting
Invalid or Missing Link ID:
- Error Message: "Not found" or similar from the Kutt API.
- Resolution: Double-check that the provided ID matches an existing link in your Kutt account.
Authentication Errors:
- Error Message: "Unauthorized" or "Invalid API key".
- Resolution: Ensure your Kutt API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.
Network Issues:
- Error Message: "Network Error" or timeouts.
- Resolution: Verify network connectivity and that the Kutt API is reachable from your n8n instance.
