Crowd.dev Node

Overview

This node allows you to delete a Note resource in Crowd.dev, an open-source suite of community and data tools. The "Delete" operation removes a specific note identified by its ID. This is useful for workflows where you need to programmatically clean up or manage notes within your Crowd.dev environment, such as removing outdated or incorrect notes.

Example scenarios:

• Automatically deleting notes that are no longer relevant after a certain workflow step.
• Cleaning up test or temporary notes created during automation processes.

Properties

Output

The output is a JSON object with the following structure:

{
  "result": "success"
}

• result: Indicates the outcome of the delete operation. If the deletion is successful, it returns "success".

If there is an error and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output may also include:

{
  "error": "...",
  "pairedItem": <item index>
}

Where error contains the error message and pairedItem indicates the index of the input item that failed.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

• Missing or Invalid ID: If the provided ID does not exist or is invalid, the node will throw an error indicating the note could not be found or deleted.
• Authentication Errors: If the crowdApi credentials are missing or incorrect, you may receive authentication or authorization errors.
• API Connectivity Issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoints can result in connection errors.

Common Error Messages:

• "Note not found": Ensure the ID is correct and the note exists.
• "Authentication failed": Check your Crowd.dev API credentials.
• "Network error": Verify network connectivity and API endpoint configuration.
