ecoDMS

ecoDMS-Integration für n8n

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system to create a new subfolder within an existing folder. It is useful for organizing documents hierarchically by adding nested folders under parent folders. Typical use cases include automating folder structure creation during document import workflows or categorizing documents dynamically based on metadata.

For example, you might use this node to automatically create project-specific subfolders inside a main client folder whenever a new project starts, helping keep your document archive well-structured.

Properties

Name Meaning
Übergeordneter Ordner auswählen Method to select the parent folder where the subfolder will be created. Options:
- ID manuell eingeben (Enter folder ID manually)
- Aus Liste auswählen (Select from list)
Übergeordneter Ordner-ID The ID of the parent folder entered manually. Required if "ID manuell eingeben" is selected.
Übergeordneter Ordner The parent folder selected from a dropdown list populated dynamically with available folders.
Ordnername Name of the new subfolder to be created.
Ordnerbeschreibung Description text for the new subfolder.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created subfolder's details. This typically includes identifiers and metadata confirming the successful creation of the folder in ecoDMS. No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to an ecoDMS server via an API key credential.
  • The server URL must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node depends on ecoDMS API endpoints to fetch folder lists and create subfolders.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Server URL: If the server URL is not set in the credentials, the node throws an error stating "Server-URL ist nicht konfiguriert. Bitte in den Anmeldedaten angeben." Ensure the ecoDMS server URL is correctly configured.
  • Invalid Parent Folder ID: When entering the parent folder ID manually, providing an incorrect or non-existent ID will likely cause the operation to fail. Verify the folder ID before running.
  • Permission Issues: Lack of sufficient permissions on the ecoDMS server to create folders may result in errors. Confirm that the API user has rights to modify folder structures.
  • Network or API Errors: Connectivity problems or API changes can cause failures. Check network access and ecoDMS API status.
