Overview

This node allows users to create a Compliance Assessment by sending structured data to an external API. It is useful in scenarios where compliance evaluations need to be programmatically generated and submitted, such as automating regulatory reporting or integrating compliance checks into business workflows.

For example, a company could use this node to automatically submit compliance assessment data collected from various internal systems to a central compliance platform for review and record-keeping.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier required for authentication or tracking purposes in the request header.
Data JSON-formatted body containing the compliance assessment details. Typically includes fields like compliance_assessment (an array) and template_status (a boolean).

Output

The node outputs the response from the API call in the json field of the output data. This typically contains the created compliance assessment record or confirmation details returned by the external service.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure API endpoint that accepts compliance assessment creation requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: If the user ID header is not provided or incorrect, the API may reject the request. Ensure the "X USER ID" property is set correctly.
  • Malformed JSON in Data: The data property must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause parsing errors before the request is sent.
  • API Authentication Errors: Failure to provide valid API credentials will result in authentication errors. Verify that the API key credential is configured properly.
  • Network or API Endpoint Issues: Connectivity problems or changes in the external API can cause failures. Check network access and API status if errors occur.
