ecoDMSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system, enabling users to manage various resources such as archives, documents, classifications, folders, licenses, and more within n8n workflows. Specifically, for the "Dokument herunterladen" (Download Document) operation under the "Dokument" resource, the node downloads a document file from ecoDMS by its ID and stores it in a binary property of the workflow item.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Automating retrieval of documents stored in ecoDMS for further processing or analysis.
• Integrating ecoDMS document downloads into larger workflows, e.g., sending downloaded documents via email or uploading them to other services.
• Archiving or backing up documents managed in ecoDMS automatically.

Example: Download a document with a specific ID and then send it as an email attachment using n8n's email nodes.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of items, each containing:

• A json field with metadata about the document (depending on the operation).
• A binary property (name defined by the user in "Binäre Eigenschaft") containing the raw downloaded document data.

The binary data represents the actual content of the downloaded document file, allowing subsequent nodes to access or manipulate the file directly.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to an ecoDMS server, configured via credentials that must include the server URL and authentication details (e.g., API key or token).
• The node depends on ecoDMS API endpoints to perform operations.
• No additional external dependencies beyond the ecoDMS API and proper credential configuration in n8n.

Troubleshooting

• Server URL not configured: If the server URL is missing in the credentials, the node throws an error instructing to configure it properly.
• Unsupported Resource: Selecting a resource not supported by the node results in an error.
• Document Not Found: If the specified document ID does not exist or is inaccessible, the node may throw an error indicating failure to retrieve the document.
• Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions on the ecoDMS server can cause errors when attempting to download documents.
• To resolve errors, verify credentials, ensure the document ID is correct, and confirm that the ecoDMS user has appropriate access rights.
