Overview
This node integrates with the TexAu Cloud platform to configure and run automations (workflows) remotely. Specifically, the "Run Automation" resource with the "Configure and Run Workflow" operation allows users to trigger a workflow by its ID, providing input parameters and optionally specifying social account IDs to be used during execution.
Common scenarios include:
- Automating social media tasks by running predefined workflows that interact with various social accounts.
- Triggering complex multi-step automations on TexAu's cloud platform from within an n8n workflow.
- Dynamically passing inputs and selecting which social accounts to use for a particular automation run.
Example: A user wants to run a workflow that scrapes LinkedIn profiles using specific LinkedIn accounts. They provide the workflow ID, input parameters such as search keywords, and specify the LinkedIn social account IDs to be used. The node sends this configuration to TexAu and triggers the workflow execution.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Workflow ID | The unique identifier of the workflow to configure and run. |
| Inputs | JSON object containing input parameters to pass to the workflow at runtime. |
| Social Account IDs | JSON array of social account identifiers to associate with the workflow execution. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the TexAu API after configuring and triggering the workflow run. This typically includes details about the initiated run, such as run status, run ID, or any immediate results returned by the API.
If the workflow produces binary data, it is not explicitly handled or output by this node based on the provided code and properties.
Dependencies
- Requires an active TexAu Cloud API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- Connects to the TexAu API endpoint at
https://v2-prod-api.texau.com. - Uses HTTP POST requests to the
/api/v1/public/configure-run/{workflowId}endpoint to configure and start workflow runs.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Workflow ID: If the workflow ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API will likely return an error. Verify the workflow ID is correct.
- Malformed Inputs or Social Account IDs: Ensure the JSON provided for inputs and socialAccountIds is valid JSON and matches expected formats.
- Authentication Errors: Confirm the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Network Issues: Check connectivity to the TexAu API endpoint.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent calls may hit rate limits; handle errors accordingly.
Common error messages might include unauthorized access, invalid parameters, or resource not found. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, input correctness, and resource availability.
