Overview

This node operation allows users to create a custom ticketing template by sending structured JSON data to an API endpoint. It is useful in scenarios where organizations want to define or update ticket templates dynamically, such as customizing the fields, integrations, and companies associated with support tickets. For example, a support team could use this node to programmatically set up new ticket templates tailored for different departments or client needs without manual configuration.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier required for authentication or tracking purposes in the request header.
Data A JSON object containing the details of the ticket template to be created. This includes:
- companies_list: An array of companies related to the template.
- integrations: An array of integration configurations.
- template_details: An array describing the specifics of the ticket template.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after attempting to create the custom ticketing template. This typically includes confirmation of the creation, any identifiers assigned to the new template, or error messages if the creation failed. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key or token credential to authenticate requests.
  • Depends on an external ticketing service API that accepts the custom ticket template data.
  • The node uses HTTP headers to pass the user ID and sends the template data as a JSON body payload.

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 correctly set.
  • Malformed JSON in Data: The "Data" property must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause parsing errors before sending the request.
  • API Errors: The external API might return errors due to invalid template structure or server issues. Check the response JSON for error messages.
  • Authentication Failures: Ensure the API key or token credential is configured properly in n8n to avoid authorization errors.

Links and References

  • Refer to your ticketing system's API documentation for details on the expected JSON structure for creating ticket templates.
  • n8n documentation on using HTTP Request nodes and setting headers and body parameters can provide additional guidance on configuring similar operations.
