ApaleoInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Apaleo API to perform various actions related to hotel management resources. Specifically, for the Block Action resource and the PUT wash block operation, it allows users to perform a "wash" action on a specified block. This typically means resetting or clearing certain states or data associated with a block in a booking system.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Managing room blocks in a hotel reservation system.
• Automating administrative tasks such as confirming, releasing, canceling, amending, or washing blocks.
• Integrating Apaleo's block management into workflows that require programmatic control over block lifecycle events.

For example, a hotel front desk system could use this node to automatically wash (reset) a block after a guest checks out, preparing it for new reservations.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item contains the result of the block action performed, typically reflecting the updated state of the block after the wash operation.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent any files or attachments returned by the API related to the block action.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Apaleo API.
• Needs an API authentication token (API key or OAuth token) configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
• The base URL for API requests is https://api.apaleo.com.
• No other external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Block ID: If the provided Block ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Verify the Block ID is correct.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures. Ensure the API token is valid and properly configured.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Apaleo API endpoint.
• Operation Not Supported: Using an unsupported operation for the Block Action resource may cause errors. Confirm the operation name matches exactly.
• Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output.
