Discuss Kit

Consume Discuss Kit API

Overview

This node interacts with the Discuss Kit API to manage comments and other discussion-related resources. Specifically, for the "Comment" resource and the "Pin" operation, it allows users to pin a comment by its ID. Pinning a comment typically highlights or prioritizes it within a post or discussion thread, making it more visible to readers.

Practical scenarios include:

  • Highlighting important feedback or announcements in a discussion.
  • Marking official responses or moderator notes at the top of comment threads.
  • Organizing discussions by emphasizing key comments.

Properties

Name Meaning
Comment ID The unique identifier of the comment to be pinned.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Discuss Kit API after attempting to pin the specified comment. This usually includes details about the pinned comment or confirmation of the pin action.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

  • Needs an API authentication token or credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Comment ID will likely result in an error from the API.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Comment not found": Verify that the Comment ID is correct and exists.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key or token is properly configured and valid.
