Connect Secure

Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node allows users to create a new credential entry in the Connect Secure system via its API. It is useful for automating the management of credentials, such as adding user-specific authentication data or configuration details programmatically. For example, an organization could use this node to onboard new users by creating their credentials automatically based on input data from other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The User Id header value sent with the request. This identifies the user making the call.
Data JSON object containing the credential data to be created. By default, it includes is_excluded set to false. Users can provide any valid JSON structure representing the credential details.

Output

The node outputs the response from the Connect Secure API after attempting to create the credential. The output is structured as JSON and typically contains information about the newly created credential, such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by the API.

If the API supports binary data in responses (not indicated here), the node would handle that accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • Depends on the Connect Secure API being accessible and properly configured.
  • Uses the n8n OpenAPI integration framework to build and send requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Since the X USER ID header is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause authentication or authorization errors. Ensure this header is correctly set.
  • Malformed JSON in Data property: The Data field expects valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause parsing errors before sending the request.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoint configurations can lead to request failures.
  • Permission errors: The API key used must have permission to create credentials; otherwise, the API will reject the request.
