Overview

This node integrates with the Apaleo API, specifically allowing users to manage groups within the Apaleo booking system. The "POST group" operation enables creating a new group by sending group data in JSON format. This is useful for scenarios where you want to programmatically add groups of guests or entities to your booking system, such as organizing corporate bookings, event attendees, or travel groups.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically create a group when a new corporate client books multiple rooms.
  • Add a group of guests arriving for an event or conference.
  • Manage guest segmentation by grouping them for targeted communication or billing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group Data JSON object containing the details of the group to be created. This should include all necessary fields as required by the Apaleo API for group creation.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. For the "POST group" operation, the json output field contains the response from the Apaleo API after creating the group. This typically includes the newly created group's details such as its unique identifier and any other metadata returned by the API.

If the node encounters errors during execution and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include error messages alongside empty JSON objects for failed items.

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 for API requests is https://api.apaleo.com.
  • Proper permissions on the API key to create groups are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or incomplete JSON in the "Group Data" property can cause request failures.
    • Missing or expired API access token will result in authentication errors.
    • Insufficient permissions on the API key may lead to authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or similar indicates issues with API credentials; verify and refresh tokens as needed.
    • "Bad Request" usually means the provided group data JSON is malformed or missing required fields; validate the JSON structure against Apaleo's API documentation.
    • "Forbidden" suggests lack of permission to perform the operation; check API key scopes.
    • Timeout or network errors require checking internet connectivity and API availability.
