Discuss Kit

Consume Discuss Kit API

Overview

This node interacts with the Discuss Kit API to manage discussion-related content. Specifically, for the "Discussion" resource and the "Unpin" operation, it allows users to unpin a previously pinned discussion post. This is useful in scenarios where you want to remove the pinned status from a discussion thread, such as when a topic is no longer relevant or should not be highlighted anymore.

Practical examples:

  • Unpinning a discussion after resolving the issue it addressed.
  • Removing pin status from outdated announcements to keep the discussion board current.

Properties

Name Meaning
Content ID The unique identifier of the discussion content to unpin.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the result of the unpin operation on the specified discussion post. It typically contains the updated state of the discussion post after unpinning. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes fields like the post ID and its pinned status.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Discuss Kit API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials (referred generically as an API key credential).
  • Uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Discuss Kit endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Content ID: Ensure the Content ID provided corresponds to an existing discussion post.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Check network connectivity and Discuss Kit service status.
  • Error messages:

    • "Content not found": The given Content ID does not exist; verify the ID.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": The API key credential is invalid or expired; update credentials.
    • "Failed to unpin discussion": General failure; check API logs or retry later.
