Interact with the Doppler API.

Overview

The node interacts with the Doppler API to manage secrets and other resources. Specifically, for the Secret resource and the Update Note operation, it allows users to set or update a note attached to a secret within a specified project. This is useful for adding contextual information or comments to secrets, which can help teams document the purpose or changes related to sensitive data.

Common scenarios:

  • Adding audit notes or explanations to secrets after creation.
  • Updating documentation or reminders about a secret’s usage directly in the secret management system.
  • Collaborating in teams where multiple users manage secrets and need to leave notes.

Example:
A user wants to add a note "Updated API key for service X on 2024-06-01" to a secret named "serviceX_api_key" in project "my-project". Using this node, they specify the project, secret name, and note content, and the node updates the note via the Doppler API.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project The identifier of the project containing the secret where the note will be updated.
Secret The name or identifier of the secret to which the note will be attached or updated.
Note The textual note content to set on the secret.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Doppler API after updating the note on the secret. This typically includes confirmation of the update and any relevant metadata returned by the API.

There is no indication that binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Doppler API endpoint https://api.doppler.com.
  • Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The node uses HTTP POST method to /v3/projects/project/note with query parameters and body fields as per the input properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid project identifier: The API call requires a valid project name; ensure the "Project" property is correctly set.
  • Secret not found: If the secret specified does not exist in the project, the API may return an error indicating the secret was not found.
  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has permissions to update secrets in the specified project.
  • API endpoint errors: Network issues or incorrect API base URL configuration can cause failures.
  • Empty note field: Providing an empty note might result in no change or an error depending on API validation.

To resolve these:

  • Double-check all input values for correctness.
  • Verify API credentials and permissions.
  • Review API error messages for specific guidance.
