ecoDMS

ecoDMS-Integration für n8n

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system to update the classification of a specific document. It allows users to modify classification attributes such as document type, revision, folder location, status, and additional remarks. This is useful in scenarios where documents need to be reclassified or updated to reflect changes in their metadata or organizational structure.

Practical examples include:

  • Updating the classification of an invoice document after a revision.
  • Changing the folder or status of a document based on workflow progress.
  • Adding or modifying remarks or custom classification attributes for better document tracking.

Properties

Name Meaning
Klassifikations-ID The ID of the document classification to update.
Dokument-ID The ID of the document whose classification is being updated.
Klassifikationsattribute JSON object containing classification attributes such as docart (document type), revision, folder, status, and bemerkung (remarks). Example: { "docart": "1", "revision": "1.0", "bemerkung": "Aktualisierte Klassifikation", "folder": "1.4", "status": "1" }
Bearbeitungsrollen Comma-separated list of roles allowed to edit the document (e.g., "r_ecodms,Elite"). Optional.
Leserollen Comma-separated list of roles allowed to read the document (e.g., "ecoSIMSUSER,Gast"). Optional.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the result of the classification update operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as success status, updated classification data, or error messages if the update failed.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to an ecoDMS server via its API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in the node credentials.
  • The server URL must be set in the credentials configuration.
  • No additional external services are required beyond ecoDMS.

Troubleshooting

  • Server URL not configured: The node will throw an error if the ecoDMS server URL is missing in the credentials. Ensure the server URL is correctly set.
  • Invalid classification or document IDs: If the provided IDs do not exist or are incorrect, the update will fail. Verify that the IDs correspond to existing records in ecoDMS.
  • Malformed JSON in classification attributes: The Klassifikationsattribute property must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause errors.
  • Insufficient permissions: If the API user lacks rights to update classifications or documents, the operation will fail. Check user roles and permissions in ecoDMS.
  • Network or connectivity issues: Failures connecting to the ecoDMS server will cause errors. Confirm network access and server availability.
