Overview
This node integrates with the Flowyteam API to manage company departments. Specifically, the "Create" operation for the "Department" resource allows users to create a new department within their organization. This is useful in scenarios where an organization wants to programmatically add new departments, such as during onboarding of new teams or restructuring.
For example, a user can automate the creation of a "Marketing" department with an optional description and specify if it belongs under a parent department. This helps maintain organizational hierarchy and structure directly from n8n workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Team Name | The name of the department to be created (required). |
| Additional Fields | Optional additional information about the department: |
| - Description | A textual description of the department. |
| - Parent Department ID | Numeric ID of the parent department, if this department is a sub-department. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created department object as returned by the Flowyteam API. This typically includes details such as the department's unique ID, name, description, parent department ID (if any), and other metadata provided by the API.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
- Requires an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node depends on the Flowyteam API endpoints for department management.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Missing required "Team Name" property will cause the operation to fail.
- Invalid or missing API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Providing a non-existent Parent Department ID may cause the API to reject the request.
Error Messages:
- Authentication errors indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credentials configuration.
- Validation errors from the API usually specify which fields are incorrect or missing.
- Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity issues with the Flowyteam API endpoint.
To resolve these, ensure all required fields are correctly filled, credentials are valid, and network connectivity is stable.
