ApaleoInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Apaleo API to perform various actions related to hotel booking management. Specifically, for the Block Action resource and the PUT confirm Block operation, it confirms a block identified by a given Block ID. This is useful in scenarios where a temporary hold (block) on rooms or inventory needs to be confirmed to finalize the reservation or allocation.

Practical examples include:

• Confirming a previously created block of rooms to guarantee availability for a group booking.
• Transitioning a tentative hold into a confirmed state as part of a booking workflow.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the confirm block action. This typically includes details about the updated block status after confirmation. The exact structure depends on the Apaleo API response but generally contains confirmation status and any relevant metadata about the block.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Apaleo API.
• Needs an API authentication token (access token) configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
• The base URL used for API calls is https://api.apaleo.com.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Block ID will cause the API call to fail.
  • Expired or invalid API access token will result in authentication errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API communication.

• Error messages:

  • "Block not found": Indicates the provided Block ID does not exist; verify the ID.
  • "Unauthorized" or "Invalid token": Check that the API credentials are correctly set and valid.
  • "Request failed" or timeout errors: Ensure network connectivity and API endpoint availability.

To resolve these, verify input parameters, refresh API credentials if expired, and check network settings.
