Overview

This node allows you to execute specific actions on an App installation within the mittwald mStudio API environment. It is designed to control the lifecycle of an app installation by sending commands such as starting, stopping, or restarting the app. This can be useful in automation workflows where you need to programmatically manage app states without manual intervention.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically restarting an app after deployment.
  • Stopping an app during maintenance windows.
  • Starting an app when certain conditions are met in your workflow.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de for all requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing App Installation Id may cause the API call to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Attempting to execute an unsupported action on the app installation could lead to API errors.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • Authentication failed: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has not expired.
    • App Installation not found: Check that the provided App Installation Id is correct and exists.
    • Invalid action: Ensure the action value is one of the supported options (start, stop, restart).
