Actions8
- Execution Orchestrator Actions
- Datapool Actions
Overview
This node integrates with the BotCity orchestrator API, specifically managing datapools and executions. The "Delete Datapool Item" operation allows users to remove a specific item from a selected datapool. This is useful in scenarios where you need to clean up or update the contents of a datapool by deleting obsolete or incorrect entries.
Practical examples include:
- Removing test data items after validation.
- Cleaning up datapools to maintain only relevant data for automation tasks.
- Managing dynamic datasets by deleting items that no longer apply.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Datapool Name or ID | Select the datapool from which to delete an item. You can choose from a list or specify an ID via expression. |
| Item ID | The unique identifier of the item within the datapool that you want to delete. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the deletion operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the item was successfully deleted or provide error information if the deletion failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to the BotCity orchestrator API.
- Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API is taken from the credential configuration.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent datapool name/ID or item ID will cause the deletion to fail.
- Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials will prevent successful communication with the BotCity API.
Error messages:
- Errors indicating "Item not found" suggest the specified item ID does not exist in the chosen datapool.
- Authentication errors indicate missing or invalid API credentials; verify the API key/token setup.
- Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues or incorrect API endpoint URLs.
To resolve these:
- Double-check the datapool and item IDs.
- Ensure the API credentials are correctly set and have necessary permissions.
- Verify network connectivity and correct API base URL configuration.
