Overview

This node integrates with the Flowtly API, specifically providing an authentication mechanism through a login operation. The Auth: Login operation allows users to authenticate by submitting their username and password to obtain a JWT token. This token can then be used for subsequent authenticated requests to the Flowtly API.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating workflows that require secure access to Flowtly services.
  • Programmatically obtaining authentication tokens to use in other nodes or API calls.
  • Integrating Flowtly authentication into larger automation pipelines without manual login steps.

Practical example:

  • A user wants to automate data retrieval from Flowtly's organization endpoints. They first use this node to log in and get a JWT token, which is then passed to subsequent nodes to fetch organization data securely.

Properties

Name Meaning
Username The username credential for logging in.
Password The password credential for logging in.

Output

The output JSON contains the following fields:

  • token: The JWT token string received upon successful login.
  • success: A boolean indicating if the login was successful (true).
  • message: A success message string ("Login successful").
  • response: The full raw response object returned by the Flowtly API login endpoint.

Example output JSON structure:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...",
  "success": true,
  "message": "Login successful",
  "response": {
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...",
    // ...other response fields
  }
}

No binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active internet connection to reach https://app.flowtly.com/api/login.
  • Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for other operations (not directly for login but for subsequent authenticated requests).
  • Uses HTTP POST request with JSON body containing username and password.
  • No additional environment variables are required for the login operation itself.

Troubleshooting

  • No token received from login response: This error occurs if the API response does not contain a valid token field. Verify that the username and password are correct and that the Flowtly API is reachable.
  • Failed to parse login response: If the response is not valid JSON, the node will throw this error. Check network connectivity and ensure the API endpoint is returning proper JSON.
  • Network or API errors: Any HTTP errors or unexpected responses will cause the node to fail unless "Continue On Fail" is enabled. Check API status and credentials.
  • Incorrect credentials: Ensure the username and password are accurate; invalid credentials will result in failed login attempts.
