ecoDMS

ecoDMS-Integration für n8n

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system, allowing users to manage various aspects such as archives, documents, classifications, folders, licenses, and searches. Specifically, for the "Dokumenttyp-Klassifikationen abrufen" (Retrieve Document Type Classifications) operation under the "Dokumenttyp" (Document Type) resource, the node fetches classification details associated with a specified document type.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automatically retrieving classification metadata for a given document type to facilitate automated document processing workflows.
  • Integrating ecoDMS classification data into broader automation pipelines for document handling or reporting.
  • Synchronizing classification information from ecoDMS with other systems.

Example: A user wants to get all classifications related to a specific document type ID to apply those classifications when uploading new documents of that type.

Properties

Name Meaning
Dokumenttyp-ID Unique ID of the document type for which the classifications should be retrieved. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the classifications associated with the specified document type. Each item in the output corresponds to a classification entry, typically including classification attributes and values relevant to that document type.

If the node supports binary data in other operations, it is not applicable here since this operation deals with metadata retrieval only.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to an ecoDMS server via an API URL configured in the node credentials.
  • Needs a valid API authentication token or key configured in the credentials to authorize requests.
  • The node depends on internal handlers that communicate with ecoDMS endpoints to fetch document type classifications.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: "Server-URL ist nicht konfiguriert."
    This indicates that the ecoDMS server URL is missing in the node credentials. To fix, configure the server URL in the node's credential settings.

  • Unsupported Resource Error
    If the selected resource is not supported, ensure you have chosen "Dokumenttyp" as the resource and "Dokumenttyp-Klassifikationen abrufen" as the operation.

  • Network or Authentication Failures
    Check network connectivity to the ecoDMS server and verify that the API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.

  • Empty or Missing Classification Data
    Verify that the provided Dokumenttyp-ID is correct and that classifications exist for that document type in ecoDMS.
