Crowd.dev Node

Overview

The Crowd.dev Node for n8n enables integration with the Crowd.dev platform, an open-source suite of community and data tools. Specifically, when using the Organization resource with the Find operation, this node allows users to retrieve information about a specific organization by its ID from the Crowd.dev API. This is useful in scenarios where you need to look up organization details as part of your workflow automation, such as enriching data, validating organization existence, or syncing organization records between systems.

Practical examples:

• Fetching organization details to enrich CRM records.
• Validating if an organization exists before creating related entities.
• Synchronizing organization data between Crowd.dev and other platforms.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the found organization. The exact structure depends on the Crowd.dev API response for the "find organization" endpoint, but typically includes fields such as organization name, ID, and other metadata.

Example output (structure may vary):

{
  "id": "org_12345",
  "name": "Acme Corp",
  "createdAt": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updatedAt": "2023-06-01T12:34:56Z",
  // ...other organization fields
}

If no data is returned, the node outputs:

{
  "result": "success"
}

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the Crowd.dev API.
• API Key: You must configure the crowdApi credential in n8n with appropriate access rights.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or Invalid ID: If the provided ID does not correspond to any organization, the output may be empty or contain an error message from the API.
• Authentication Errors: If the crowdApi credential is missing or invalid, the node will throw an authentication error. Ensure your credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
• API Connectivity Issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoints can cause request failures.
• Error Handling: If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the node will add an error field to the output for the failed item. Otherwise, the workflow execution will stop, and the error will be shown in n8n.
