ecoDMS

ecoDMS-Integration für n8n

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system, enabling users to interact programmatically with various ecoDMS resources such as archives, documents, classifications, folders, licenses, and more. Specifically, the "Archiv" resource with the "Verbindung herstellen" (connect) operation allows establishing a connection to a specified archive within ecoDMS.

Typical use cases include automating document workflows, managing archive connections dynamically, or integrating ecoDMS archive access into broader automation processes. For example, a user might connect to a particular archive to retrieve metadata or perform further operations like searching or document classification.

Properties

Name Meaning
Archiv-ID The ID of the archive to which the connection should be established.
API-Schlüssel Optional API key used for authenticating the connection to the archive.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the connection operation to the specified archive. This typically includes confirmation details about the connection status or relevant archive metadata returned by ecoDMS.

If the node supports binary data output in other operations, it is not applicable here since this operation focuses on establishing a connection.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active ecoDMS server URL configured in the node credentials.
  • Optionally requires an API key credential if the archive demands authenticated access.
  • The node depends on ecoDMS REST API endpoints to perform operations.
  • Proper configuration of credentials in n8n is necessary, including the server URL and optionally the API key.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: "Server-URL ist nicht konfiguriert."
    This error indicates that the ecoDMS server URL is missing from the credentials configuration. To resolve, ensure the server URL is correctly set in the node's authentication credentials.

  • Unsupported Resource Error
    If an unsupported resource name is provided, the node throws an error indicating the resource is not supported. Verify that the resource name matches one of the supported ecoDMS resources.

  • Connection Failures
    Connection issues may arise due to incorrect archive IDs, invalid API keys, or network problems. Double-check the archive ID and API key values, and ensure network connectivity to the ecoDMS server.

  • General Processing Errors
    Other errors during processing are wrapped and reported with context. Review the error message for clues and verify input parameters and credentials.
