WbCommunication

Overview

This node is designed to update ("patch") specific questions in a system, identified by their unique ID. It allows users to mark whether a question has been viewed or not. This functionality is useful in scenarios where tracking the status of questions (e.g., in a customer support or FAQ management system) is necessary to monitor which questions have been addressed or reviewed.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically marking questions as viewed after they have been processed.
• Updating the status of questions based on user interactions or workflow progress.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated question object after the patch operation. This typically includes the question's ID and its updated "wasViewed" status among other possible fields returned by the API. There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing the questions.
• The node uses a base URL configured from an OpenAPI specification bundled within the node.
• HTTP headers are preset to accept and send JSON content.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing question ID will cause the patch operation to fail.
  • Incorrect or missing API authentication may result in authorization errors.
  • Sending invalid data types (e.g., non-boolean for "Was Viewed") can cause request validation errors.

• Error messages:

  • "Not Found" or similar indicates the question ID does not exist.
  • "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden" suggests issues with API credentials.
  • Validation errors indicate incorrect input property values; ensure "Id" is a string and "Was Viewed" is boolean.
