CHACHAT Update Group Subject Node

Node for updating the subject of a group via Chat API

Overview

This node updates the subject (title) of a group using a Chat API. It is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically rename or update the topic of a chat group, for example, to reflect changes in project phases, team names, or event topics. Practical applications include automating group management in messaging platforms or integrating group updates into workflows that respond to external triggers.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group ID The unique identifier of the group to update.
New Subject The new subject (title) to set for the group.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object containing the response data from the Chat API after attempting to update the group's subject. This typically includes confirmation details or updated group information returned by the API.

If the operation fails and "Continue On Fail" is not enabled, the node throws an error; otherwise, it returns the original input data unchanged.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Chat API.
  • Needs the base URL and token for the Chat API, as well as a session identifier.
  • Uses the Axios HTTP client library to send POST requests to the API endpoint /v1/updateGroupSubject.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Group ID or New Subject values will cause the API call to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API communication.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures typically indicate invalid tokens or missing permissions.
    • API errors may return messages about invalid group IDs or unauthorized access.
    • If the node throws an error referencing item index, it indicates which input item caused the failure.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the Group ID and New Subject fields are correctly populated.
    • Ensure the API credentials are valid and have necessary permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API availability.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" if partial processing is acceptable.
