Discuss Kit

Consume Discuss Kit API

Overview

This node interacts with the Discuss Kit API to manage labels within the system. Specifically, the "Label - Update" operation allows users to update an existing label's properties such as its name, color, and text color. This is useful for maintaining organized and visually distinct labels in discussion boards or content management scenarios.

Practical examples include:

  • Renaming a label to better reflect its purpose.
  • Changing the color scheme of a label to improve UI clarity.
  • Adjusting the text color of a label for better readability against its background color.

Properties

Name Meaning
Label ID The unique identifier of the label to update.
Name The new name to assign to the label.
Update Fields Optional additional fields to update:
- Color: The color code of the label.
- Text Color: The text color code of the label.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the updated label returned from the Discuss Kit API. It typically includes the label's updated properties such as its ID, name, color, and text color.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Discuss Kit API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • Utilizes a helper function to make HTTP requests to the Discuss Kit API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Label ID will cause the update request to fail.
    • Providing invalid color codes may result in API errors or unexpected label appearance.
    • Network or authentication failures can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Label not found": Verify that the Label ID is correct and exists in the system.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly set up and valid.
    • "Invalid color format": Ensure color values are provided in a valid hex color format (e.g., "0000FF").
