Overview

This node operation, Destroy Lineup Marker, is designed to delete a specific lineup marker identified by its unique ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove markers from a lineup or schedule, such as clearing outdated or incorrect markers in an event planning or media scheduling system.

For example, if you have a list of markers representing segments in a broadcast lineup and one segment is canceled or rescheduled, this operation allows you to remove the corresponding marker efficiently.

Properties

Name Meaning
Marker Id The unique numeric ID of the marker to destroy (delete).

Output

The output JSON will typically confirm the deletion of the specified lineup marker. It may include status information or details about the deleted marker. Since the source code does not explicitly show the output structure, expect a standard API response indicating success or failure of the deletion request.

No binary data output is expected for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing lineup markers.
  • The node depends on the Basecamp API or a similar external API endpoint configured via environment variables or credentials within n8n.
  • Proper network access to the API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Marker Id will likely result in an error or no action.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • "Marker not found" or similar indicates the provided Marker Id does not exist.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" suggests issues with API credentials.
    • Timeout or connection errors indicate network or endpoint availability problems.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the Marker Id is correct and exists.
    • Ensure valid API credentials are configured in n8n.
    • Check network connectivity and API endpoint status.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for lineup marker management for detailed information on the delete operation.
  • Consult n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and handling HTTP requests.
