Overview

This node allows you to interact with the Crowd.dev platform, specifically to delete a Task resource. It is useful in automation workflows where you need to programmatically remove tasks from your Crowd.dev environment. For example, you might use this node to clean up completed or obsolete tasks as part of a larger process.

Practical Example:

  • Automatically delete tasks that are marked as completed in another system.
  • Remove tasks based on certain criteria (e.g., age, status) as part of regular maintenance.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
ID String The ID of the task to be deleted. This is required and uniquely identifies which task will be removed from Crowd.dev.

Output

The output structure for the Delete operation is:

{
  "result": "success"
}
  • If the deletion is successful, the output will contain a JSON object with a result field set to "success".
  • In case of errors and if "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output may include an error field with error details alongside the original input data.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing Task ID: If the provided ID does not exist or is empty, the node will fail to delete the task.
  • Authentication Errors: If the crowdApi credentials are not set up correctly, API requests will fail.
  • API Connectivity Issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoints can cause failures.

Error Messages:

  • "Missing required parameter 'ID'": Ensure you provide a valid Task ID.
  • "Authentication failed": Check your Crowd.dev API credentials in n8n.
  • "Task not found": Verify that the Task ID exists in your Crowd.dev instance.
