Overview

This node allows updating a user on the platform by specifying the user's numeric ID and optionally modifying their name, email, password, and custom attributes. It is useful in scenarios where user information needs to be maintained or corrected programmatically, such as syncing user data from another system, automating user profile updates, or managing user accounts in bulk.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically update a user's email address when it changes in an external CRM.
  • Change a user's password based on a security policy update.
  • Add or modify custom attributes for users to enrich their profiles with additional metadata.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The numeric ID of the user on the platform (required to identify which user to update).
Name The new name of the user.
Email The new email address of the user.
Password The new password for the user. Must contain uppercase, lowercase letters, number, and special character.
Custom Attributes JSON object representing custom attributes to associate with the user (key-value pairs).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated user object returned by the platform's API. This typically includes the user's current details after the update operation, such as id, name, email, and any custom attributes.

If the platform supports binary data related to the user (e.g., profile pictures), this node does not explicitly handle binary output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate requests to the platform.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • Uses the ChatWoot API as defined in the bundled OpenAPI specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid User ID: If the provided user ID does not exist, the API will likely return a "not found" error. Verify the ID before running the node.
  • Password Validation Errors: Passwords must meet complexity requirements (uppercase, lowercase, number, special character). Failure to comply will cause the API to reject the update.
  • Malformed Custom Attributes: The custom_attributes field expects valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause parsing errors.
  • Authentication Failures: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions to update users.
  • Network Issues: Check connectivity and base URL configuration if requests fail to reach the API.
