0-CodeKit

A toolbox of no-code utilities

Actions40

Overview

The Convert → Nation ISO Switch operation in the 0-CodeKit node allows you to convert between a country's full English name and its ISO-Alpha-3166 code (e.g., "Germany" ↔ "DE"). This is useful for workflows that require standardized country codes or need to display user-friendly country names based on ISO codes.

Common scenarios:

Standardizing user input of country names to ISO codes for API requests.
Converting ISO codes from external data sources into readable country names for reports or emails.

Practical examples:

Transforming "France" into "FR" before sending data to a payment gateway.
Displaying "United States" instead of "US" in a customer-facing email.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Operation	Selects the conversion direction: - Nation to ISO - ISO to Nation
Nation Value	The full name of the nation in English (used when converting Nation to ISO)
ISO Value	The ISO-Alpha-3166 code of the nation (e.g., DE) (used when converting ISO to Nation)

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the result of the conversion. Depending on the selected operation, the structure typically includes:

For "Nation to ISO":
```
{
  "iso": "DE"
}
```
For "ISO to Nation":
```
{
  "nation": "Germany"
}
```

If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output may include:

{
  "error": "Error message"
}

Dependencies

External Service: Requires access to the CodeKit API.
n8n Credentials: You must configure the codeKitApi credential in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

Invalid Country Name or ISO Code: If the provided value does not match a recognized country or code, the node may return an error or an empty result.
Missing Required Property: If you do not provide the required property for the selected operation (e.g., missing "Nation Value" when converting Nation to ISO), the node will throw an error.
Credential Issues: If the codeKitApi credential is not set up correctly, the node will fail to connect to the service.

Error messages:

"Cannot find nation/ISO code": Double-check your input for typos or incorrect values.
"Missing required parameter": Ensure all required fields are filled based on your chosen operation.
"Authentication failed": Verify your CodeKit API credentials in n8n.
