Overview
The "Create Upload" operation under the "Uploads" resource allows users to create a new file upload within a specified bucket and vault. This node is useful for automating the process of attaching files or documents to projects, tasks, or other entities that support uploads in the connected service. For example, you might use this node to programmatically upload images, reports, or attachments as part of a workflow that manages project documentation or client deliverables.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | Numeric identifier of the bucket where the upload will be stored. |
| Vault Id | Numeric identifier of the vault associated with the upload. |
| Attachable Sgid | A string representing the SGID (Secure Global ID) for the uploaded attachment. |
| Description | Optional HTML-formatted information describing the upload. |
| Base Name | New filename for the upload without the file extension (e.g., "pizza" for "pizza.png"). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the created upload object. This typically includes metadata about the upload such as its unique identifiers, URLs, timestamps, and any other relevant details returned by the API after successful creation. The output does not include binary data directly; it focuses on the metadata and references to the uploaded file.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential or OAuth2 token configured in n8n to authenticate requests to the external service managing uploads.
- The node depends on the external service's API endpoint for creating uploads, which must be accessible from the n8n environment.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: Ensure that
Bucket Id,Vault Id, andAttachable Sgidare provided and valid. Omitting these will likely cause errors. - Invalid SGID: If the
Attachable Sgidis incorrect or expired, the upload may fail. Verify the SGID format and validity. - API Authentication Errors: Check that the API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions to create uploads.
- Network Issues: Confirm that n8n can reach the external API endpoint without firewall or connectivity problems.
- Error Messages: Common error messages may indicate missing parameters, invalid IDs, or authentication failures. Review the error details and adjust input properties or credentials accordingly.
