Overview

This node integrates with the Apaleo API to manage group-related operations within a property management or booking system. Specifically, for the "POST group reservations" operation, it allows users to create new reservations under an existing group booking by providing the group ID and reservation details in JSON format.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Adding multiple reservations to a group booking in bulk.
  • Automating group reservation creation workflows in hotel or property management systems.
  • Integrating Apaleo group reservation capabilities into broader automation pipelines.

For example, a hotel front desk system could use this node to add several guest reservations to a corporate group booking automatically when the group confirms their attendees.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group ID The unique identifier of the group booking to which the reservations will be added.
reservations Data The reservation details provided as a JSON object. This includes all necessary data to create one or more reservations under the specified group.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the results of the group reservation creation requests. Each item corresponds to an input item processed and contains the response data from the Apaleo API about the created reservations.

If the API supports binary data (e.g., documents or attachments related to reservations), the node would handle that accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output focuses on JSON responses describing the reservations.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Apaleo API via an API authentication token (provided through n8n credentials).
  • The node depends on the Apaleo API being accessible at https://api.apaleo.com.
  • Proper permissions on the API key are needed to perform group reservation creation.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Group ID: If the provided Group ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the Group ID before running the node.
  • Malformed Reservations Data: The reservations data must be valid JSON and conform to the expected schema by Apaleo. Invalid JSON or missing required fields will cause errors.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API token is valid and has not expired. Authentication failures will prevent any operation.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting; consider adding delays or batching inputs.
  • Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if some fail, returning error messages per failed item.
