LearningSuite

Overview

The node integrates with the LearningSuite API to manage various resources related to an educational platform. Specifically, for the Group resource and the Create Group operation, it allows users to create a new group by specifying its name. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically organize users or members into groups within LearningSuite, such as creating study groups, project teams, or class sections.

Practical examples:

• Automatically creating a new group when onboarding students for a new course.
• Creating groups dynamically based on external data sources or events.
• Organizing members into groups for targeted communications or permissions.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created group object returned from the LearningSuite API. This typically includes details such as the group's unique identifier, name, creation timestamp, and any other metadata provided by the API.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent associated files or media related to the group, but this is not applicable for the Create Group operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the LearningSuite API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
• The base URL for the API must be set in the credentials.
• The node depends on the LearningSuite API being accessible and the user having sufficient permissions to create groups.

Troubleshooting

• No handler for resource "group" and operation "create": This error indicates that the node does not recognize the requested resource-operation combination. Ensure the resource is set to "Group" and operation to "Create Group".
• API authentication errors: If the API key or credentials are invalid or missing, the node will fail. Verify the API key configuration in n8n credentials.
• Validation errors: If the "Group Name" property is empty or invalid, the API may reject the request. Always provide a valid, non-empty group name.
• Network issues: Connectivity problems to the LearningSuite API endpoint can cause failures. Check network access and API availability.
