Overview

The "Crowd.dev Node" for n8n allows users to interact with the Crowd.dev platform, specifically to create a new Note resource. This node is useful in automation workflows where you want to programmatically add notes to Crowd.dev, such as logging information from other systems, capturing user feedback, or recording automated observations.

Example scenarios:

  • Automatically creating a note when a new support ticket is received.
  • Logging integration events or errors into Crowd.dev for later review.
  • Adding contextual notes to community members based on external triggers.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Body String The body of the note. This is the main content or message that will be stored in the note.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the result of the operation. For the "Note → Create" operation, the output typically contains the details of the created note as returned by the Crowd.dev API. If the API does not return data, the output will be:

{
  "result": "success"
}

If the API returns an array, each item in the array will be output as a separate JSON object.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Crowd.dev API.
  • Credentials: You must configure the crowdApi credential in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials:
    Error: "No credentials found for crowdApi."
    Resolution: Ensure you have set up and selected the correct Crowd.dev API credentials in your n8n instance.

  • API Errors:
    Error: Various error messages from the Crowd.dev API (e.g., authentication failure, invalid input).
    Resolution: Check your API key, ensure the "Body" property is filled, and verify network connectivity.

  • Continue On Fail:
    If enabled, failed items will include an error field in the output, along with the original input data.
