Steuerboard

Consume the Steuerboard API

Overview

The node integrates with the Steuerboard API to manage workspaces. Specifically, the "Create Workspace" operation allows users to create a new workspace within a specified client context. This is useful in scenarios where an organization wants to programmatically organize projects, teams, or departments into separate workspaces for better management and collaboration.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically creating a workspace when onboarding a new client.
  • Setting up isolated environments for different teams or projects.
  • Integrating workspace creation into a larger automation workflow that provisions resources dynamically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Client ID The ID of the client under which the workspace will be created.
Name The name of the workspace to be created.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created workspace object as returned by the Steuerboard API. This typically includes details such as the workspace ID, name, associated client ID, creation timestamps, and other metadata.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Steuerboard API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node sends requests with Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json headers.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Client ID: Ensure that the Client ID provided exists and is valid; otherwise, the API will reject the request.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions to create workspaces.
  • Invalid workspace name: The API may enforce naming rules; ensure the workspace name meets any length or character restrictions.
  • Network or connectivity issues: Confirm that the base URL is reachable from the n8n environment.

Common error messages might include:

  • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicating authentication failure.
  • 400 Bad Request if required fields are missing or invalid.
  • 404 Not Found if the specified client does not exist.

Resolving these usually involves checking credentials, input values, and network configurations.
